r/tulsa

Hello friends, a few days ago I noticed my back was aching but didn’t think much of it. Yesterday I woke up with an extremely sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and sweats. I feel as bad as I did the first time I actually tested positive for Covid. I can’t sleep because my body won’t stop hurting and or the chills / sweats. I just paid to have a covid test delivered this morning and after 5 minutes everything came back negative, checking again in 10 minutes. Not sure what to believe because in the past I’ve tested negative for covid while confirmed having it hours later. I did onto get the Covid vaccine fyi. Anyone else experiencing this sickness? I just want to be able to sleep

I knew what I was getting into. The fair has always been expensive, and I saved up for my kids...BUT every single food or drink we purchased, I was met with a credit card reader and the words, "it's going to ask you a question" first then you can tap pay. Just take a wild guess what the first screen was.

Every single stand had a tip screen and the lowest option was 20%. Sure there was a custom amount button, and I used to be a server so Im generally pretty gracious... but come on. I pressed the no button and they immediately said, "thanks we appreciate it".

I know the tip screen is getting ridiculously out of hand at places. It's s exactly why I stopped going to the Starbucks on yale and 17th; they won't just take my card, they pull the whole damn machine out... "it's going to ask you a question"... No. The answer is no. I used to feel guilty but making the public supplement the pay for workers is not acceptable and it took me an hour of work to get that funnel cake. Im struggling too. Get that reader out of my face.

is there anyone who know ANYTHING about options for rideshare or busses or ANYTHING from the okc/surrounding areas to the tulsa + surrounding areas?

i’ve already checked the greyhound and the BOB. if anyone knows ANYTHING please let me know!! thank you

mods this is a question about commuting not visiting!

edit: i know there’s a greyhound please read the post before telling me about it

Parking at ANY of the businesses on the corner of Yale and 21st (Centennial Plaza) will absolutely get you towed. Business have the tow trucks on standby and it only takes a few minutes to get your car towed. Walmart Neighborhood market over there. Target behind the expo, zaxbys crunch fitness, Ollie’s, and any of the smaller businesses in that zone are absolutely towing people off. We had to call and have one towed off yesterday but I know with the weekend approaching everyone is gonna want go. I know it may be convenient but we have signs posted to make you aware. Customer parking only. I work in these shops this is why I’m letting yall know!!!!

What happened to all the Penguin statues? Growing up it felt as if there was one on every corner. i just don’t see them often. Have they been taken down? I’ve always loved them, either the polkadot one or american flag one has always been my favorite.

does anyone know if they’ve been slowly removed?

Was about to go to Mathis and stumbled upon their reviews where they are getting eaten alive lol
Anyone have any suggestions? Bob Mills looked meh

Don’t get me wrong. I’m glad the city is repairing and improving roads, but OH MY GOD. It’s insane how many major streets are down to two lanes for miles or just completely blocked for months if not years, sometimes with crews actively working but often times not, not to mention closures for private construction projects and special events. It’s honestly worse than I can ever remember it.

Left downtown around 1am last night and witnessed a horrible roll over crash going east bound on I-244. We called 911 of course but we don’t know the condition of the person and hopefully they are okay.

If anyone had friends driving home from downtown last night, maybe check on them and make sure they made it home. The girl had to have rolled 5 plus times. :(

Let me preface this with I'm not from the area/state; but coming to town next week to visit a friend in the hospital, who's having a rough go of things lately. I am looking for recommendations for the best "to go" Cheeseburger in town (favoring the NW , Owasso region) so I can smuggle it to them (not on dietary restrictions) in the hospital to cheer them up. Thank you in advance!

So like… when is this rain coming?

Does anyone need a helping hand or help in general, just looking for some under the table work to make a little cash while I’m in between jobs for the mean time

Just curious. I was looking at the prices even to get in the door and it just isn’t possible for my family this year. Wondering if anyone else is feeling the same.

Recommendations needed. Looking for a highly recommended and professional veterinarian practice in Tulsa. Price/cost is not an issue. Concerned more with an office that has skilled doctors and staff, and follows professional medical protocols, wanting to avoid vet offices that cut corners at the expense of pets safety.

Just a quick heads up; I received a fraud text for a 70 cent charge to Christ Covenant today from BoK. I called their number using the app just to be sure. The first time I called they stated they did not see the charge I was talking about and told me to delete the text.

An hour later I tried to make a purchase at Walmart and called again and they said they now saw the blocked charge and had locked my card. The person on the phone said they had received a bunch of calls about this issue today from multiple people.

Luckily the person was able to unlock my card and then let me buy my groceries and then relocked it. I’m going Monday to get a new card.

TLDR: Bank of Oklahoma may be experiencing multiple stolen cards at the moment. I don’t see anything on the news yet. If you get a text, call using the app number and verify and potentially expect your card to be locked. I did not get a notification that my card was locked. Have a good day!
