Hi guys. I have heard a lot about people going to Bellingham Costco/Walmart and buying same stuff for cheaper price, provided you have a 0 conversion fee credit card. I just wanted to know if someone has actually tried it and if it’s worth giving it a shot. Or, it’s all a bunch of BS. With fuel prices rising faster than anybody’s paycheque I was hoping to get some suggestions on this US Canada cross border grocery/fuel purchase that can help me save some money. Appreciate your guidance.

Does anyone know the best possible mode of public transport from Murrayville to Canada Place during regular office hours? With skytrain construction ongoing, fraser highway is pretty choked.

I was walking down the street on downtown langley street and there was this guy riding his battery scooter at nearly 30km/hr. Didn’t stop for me while I was on the zebra crossing and took a right turn expecting me to stop, while its my right of way. Almost hit me, screamed f*** you and ran away. Unbelievable. It’s the second similar incidence I have faced in the last 3 weeks and have witnessed countless irrational high speed scooter riding by these guys; literally scaring the seniors. Even pedestrians watch out for any potential driver’s lapses while crossing the road, but most of these battery scooter guys are like in a complete video game zone! Absolute entitlement on the road and footpaths. With summers approaching I get scared for kids learning to ride a bike, skating alongside these irresponsible scooter 🛴

I am super tired of entering all the cafes, take outs, flipping their square screens towards me for take out coffees, burgers, pizzas. And the hell it starts from 15% minimum. Goes all the way up to 28%

If I sit on the seat, it feels very sticky when I keep my hands on the table, with shitloads of coffee, muffin, ketchup. Then staff comes back with dirty cloth and leaves behind a stinky smell.

I am literally finding hard to make the ends meet; and this once in a time tip is literally exhausting me out plus feels like a loot. Gst + pst + tips, I mean come on. There should be some intervention from the government on it. This is just point blank guilt tripping legalised, in a country where we pay so much importance to mental health. I don’t even know if the poor guys serving us get the tip amounts distributed fairly too. Owner might have his own kids/relatives employed. They might just distribute it amongst themselves. It all feels so ‘not’ transparent.

I have literally stopped to tip everywhere especially at a takeout and salon. Don’t know if it’s really rude. But I just can’t afford it anymore. Plus the guilt tripping is unbearable.
