We have been to ruffled cup 2 times in the past month. Both times flies in the cupcake and cookie case. I mentioned to the girl working the counter the first time and she said ya it just happens. Which I know but EW! Yesterday after school we left after seeing the back to school cookies covered in flies. The floors are filthy. Over priced. What’s your favorite bakery? We need a new spot.

Are there any craft thrift stores in town, or just any thrifting places that have a good craft section?

Thanks in advance! 😊

Traveling from NC and will be in Amarillo in a couple of weeks for two nights and am looking for breakfast tacos if they exist? I have been to southern Texas before which has incredible breakfast tacos but I’m not finding anything in Amarillo.

Separately what are the best restaurants in town for Mexican, BBQ or in general? Not looking for anything fancy just good food. I’m planning on trying the Big Texan Steakhouse but not expecting anything spectacular other than an interesting experience. Any recommendations appreciated.

BSA is becoming...BS. They are now cutting costs in some interesting ways. No salt and pepper packets with your food. No soft drinks unless you press them for one. Certainly no soft drinks for family any more. There's a new limit on popsicles. No valet parking. Sub-contracting out everything they can. Laying off people that have been there almost 30 years because they make too much money.

Meanwhile, they are charging $11,000 for a heart scan that takes 25 minutes, and $22,000 for a one night stay in the hospital that probably wasn't necessary if their ER had been worth a flip. Charging for multiple doctor consults even though the doctor only saw us twice, both for less than 5 minutes.

Someone needs to turn this place in to the FBI, Medicare, or whoever. Lots of shady stuff going on.

Is BSA outsourcing phone pre-registration?

I had an interesting/frustrating experience this week. I had my regular mammogram 2 weeks ago and received a callback for additional imaging.

I was told that because they didn't want me making decisions based on finances I wouldn't be asked to pay anything until after this had been filed with insurance.

Yesterday someone called trying to collect $2900 for the imaging. AND tried to send me to the other location and seemed clueless that they are a half mile apart.

I got on the phone with my insurance and got that part straightened out. (cost is zero btw)

The last bit is why I wondered if it is now being outsourced...

Howdy!

I’m still somewhat new to Amarillo, and was wondering about available spaces to host small events. Basically, I have a big social deduction game and I want to get a group to go play, but my apartment is too small and none of the others spaces are available.

Are there any known spaces around Amarillo that I could host a small event for 7-14 ish people? Preferably indoors and with space to “meander”

Seriously every time I see these bands they have like 1k followers and 10 monthly listeners on Spotify. Go anywhere else in the country a show like that would be free or maybe $5.

Looking for insight from anyone in the area who has recently put solar panels on their house. Please tell me about your experience, good or bad. Were your expectations met? What do you wish you’d known before you started?

Does anyone know if the Renfaire is going to happen again this year? I had a wonderful time last year, but I have seen absolutely nothing this year.

I’ve seen a couple people say that Cottonwood is not going to happen, is that true?

Using only my equipment, my wife and I decided to make our next short. We shot during our free time on off days or weekends. It was super fun to shoot and edit, and I can't wait to get to work on the next thing. Please let me know what you think.

That means hundreds of new, good-paying jobs.

Tyson Foods to restructure beef operations, ramp up second shift in Amarillo

I like working hard. I’ll work 60-70 hour weeks. But feels like everybody here just tries to keep their company under 40-50 employees, and limits everybody’s hours so they don’t have to pay benefits or overtime. I just wanna work man.

Does T-Mobile in home internet work well in the AC College area. I want to get out of my satellite service but don't know who to go with. Any suggestions are appreciated.

See the video if you don't know what I am talking about. For context CEB is not the same thing as rammed earth or adobe. It's presumably much cheaper.

Are there any places hiring that are not fast food? I am open to serving at high end restaurants as well?

I have dental/medical reception experience, call center, special education in public schools, serving. But I am open to trying new things and learn pretty fast.

Any feedback would help, ty
