So I'm pretty sure there is no dedicated ramen restaurant in town, but I imagine a lot of the Asian restaurants offer it and can anyone share their experiences please?
Langley has a bunch, rarely do I want to drive an hour and a half for ramen though...
my dad is 78. someone in family tipped me off as to what's going on. he says he signed something but has nothing in writing that he is aware of, so he has no idea what he's ordered. it sounds like the sales guys just keep tacking things on. he signed something on a tablet this afternoon but doesn't know what for or how much.
he said there may be an email that was sent to him which he said he didn't understand a lot of, and i haven't read it. do they email you a copy of your contract when you sign something? is there a grace period? it sounds like there may be a new security system involved and potentially a new smart-phone for the remote monitoring (he never goes anywhere). new internet package maybe? they already sold him a security last year and the cameras are sitting in a box while he pays for monitoring he's not receiving, no one came to set it up and he has no idea. he has no need for a phone (he already has a cheap simple seniors emergency phone i got him). he says he told them he doesn't need a phone but they called him to tell him the phone number for this new phone, and it's still not clicking that he bought a phone.
he is on a very modest budget and cannot afford this, his telus bill is already $240 a month but he can't figure out how to find anyone to cancel some of the services and they don't answer the phones.
he's a pushover and polite to a fault. he's always been like that, the house is full of magazines and encyclopedias from door to door salesmen. if by some chance i can help him build up the courage to cancel, is there an option to do so and how would we go about that? BC if it matters, thanks
wanted to get another perspective on this, because it seemed nuts to me:
had drinks and a light meal with the wife for lunch at a local small / family-run restaurant.
last time, we ordered two meals and just ended up taking one home since they are big. so we split one and ordered two drinks which were a little over $10 each.
all in all the bill should have been a little over $40. where it gets weird is, owner was being super friendly, laying it on thick, "thank-you thank-you" and hits the tip button before I go to pay.
my math thinks they probably hit the max or 20%+ tip.
i don't want to ignite the whole tipping debate, but i do tip generally where there is a server, i don't tip at fast food or i'm just picking up to go (even then sometimes I do anyways). I was planning to tip probably 20% since it was a smaller bill, so I didn't make a scene about it, but the whole thing left me feeling really off, and I won't be going back to that place.
i get the whole two-people-splitting-a-meal thing, but what we ordered (like a big appy plate) is far too big for one person. the plate was huge and we aren't big eaters, and we did order two expensive drinks.
if it matters, I think it does, the place was not busy, maybe 25-40% capacity. so it's not like we took up valuable seats sipping a coffee for an hour. we ate and left within 15-20 after receiving the food.
What do you think? Does their behavior make any sense or do you think it was totally out of line?
[edit] sorry i am not going to name the place. i don't need that drama and people get sued for less.
Looking for someone in town who repairs older machines like chainsaws. Ended up with a few, (inherited), probably would be paying in chainsaws lol.
