velvet taco

post drive-thru rant, because i can, but why is it that every time i go to Velvet taco they have some sort of attitude 😭

Like??? No one asked you to work this job, why are we looking at customers like theyre fucking brain dead when asking a simple question?

For reference, i just ordered the 2 for $10 combo, and upgraded to the drink/side for an additional $3. Last time I ordered this, I was given a fountain drink in a plastic cup, so when I order the same as last time, I dont get a drink…in the plastic to-go cup. Obviously I shouldve checked the bag i guess, but instead I patiently wait for the lady to come back to the window before asking for my drink.

Ive worked in hospitality before so Im not an asshole, cus I understand, but she comes back 5 minutes later and is like “?”, so I ask for my drink, and she passively aggressively replies with “its in the bag” like i shouldve fucking known. I let her know that I was unaware of that and that last time I was given a to-go cup which she replied with “We dont give that out unless specifically requested” which is fucking stupid considering Ive never had to request it previously!!!!! Like hello im not fucking brain dead nor illiterate cus the menu says “fountain drink” not fucking “canned” or “bottled”.

Anyways!!!! Im just annoyed and possibly hangry but damn like no need to be miserable af when it comes to customer service. Been there done that, and now I work a different job so like maybe do the same? Idk im just annoyed cus this seems to be a regular occurrence every time i go🫪 the end, thanks for coming to my ted talk

Edit: and to top it all off, i got the incorrect drink😍😍😍so cute!

PSO rate hikes

Anybody else looking into what’s happening with PSO & the insane rate hikes that happened in the last month?

To my understanding - please correct me if there’s misinformation.

Since PSO is considered to be a monopoly, it’s governed by the OCC & cannot raise rates without going through formal hearings & channels.

PSO filed for a rate increase in 2025 (Oklahoma Case No. PUD 2025-000075) for a proposed 15% rate increase.

Oklahoma settled with PSO in June of 2026 for a 1% increase in average monthly rates.

https://oklahoma.gov/oag/news/newsroom/2026/june/drummond-pso-reach-settlement-that-slashes-proposed-rate-increase-for-oklahoma-consumers.html

Homeowners are reporting that they’re showing increases on their monthly bill of 50% - 200% increases - the only way I can make sense of this is that the proposed increase covered previous billing cycles & PSO was able to get approval for past offered services or this was a one time increase to cover as a bulk charge for past services?

Anyone else dive into this & have an idea of what’s going on?

Another power outage???

How many days in a row can there be power outages? Historically hot days and the power goes out, and don’t expect the power to be back on until 10. Right after my bills shot up 3x in price. Thank you to those out working on restoring the power but I just wanted to vent for a moment.

Cabin Boys 18% surcharge

I went to Cabin Boy Brewery to meet some friends. I went to the bar to order a beer and open a tab, and the bartender told me there would be an 18% gratuity added because I was with a group (6 of us) that had reserved a table. I asked the bartender, to be clear, you are going to charge me 18% more than the guy seated next to me at the bar, because I was with the group at the table? Yes.

Mind you, there were only 3 other customers in the whole place. So the reserved table was not taking seating away from anyone.

I canceled my beer order. I would have probably drank 3, maybe 4 beers in the time I was there. But because of their stupid policy of charging people sitting at a reserved table 18% more, they got nothing from me. Zero!

Another person at the table had ordered a beer when she first arrived, before the large group of 5 others arrived, and did not get charged the 18%. She too decided not to order any more because of the forced 18% gratuity.

Again, there were only three other customers in the whole place! So the reserved table was taking no seating from anyone.

Remember too, that customers have to go to the bar and order and pick up their drinks themselves. No table service.

Remind me of what the forced 18% gratuity is for?

I probably would have tipped 15%-20% anyways. But forcing me to pay 18% rubs me the wrong way.

Is this a case of the business shooting themselves in the foot?

New restaurant alert 🚨

Ok so I went to this new restaurant over by Bixby and it was so good. The prices r super fair, the customer service was great and they had a wide variety of food. They’re called Sakura sushi and ramen but they service other Asian food as well as spaghetti beef bolognese and spaghetti carbonara. They have a good selection of appetizers too. As for desserts, they have mochi and since they’re new they let me try their speciality mango icecream that they’re thinking of introducing to the menu. It tasted really good and so I wanted to share it with u guys. I think they do catering too but I’m not 100% sure.

Paint of The Church Studio

Hope this is allowed & not annoying, but my band, Billy Bonney, is playing at The Church Studio this Thursday & it’s one of my favorite places ever, so decided to paint it in honor of Leon & the Tulsa music scene.

How does your workplace structure pay increases? COLA, merit-based, something else?

I’m trying to determine how my workplace stacks up with its flat 2% increase each year.
