First of all, I know it's 2022 and prices are high, etc... Dont get me wrong, I do not mind paying for any goods or services, and i'm fortunate enough to live comfortably within my means, but this I can't be the only one bothered by this.

I dont mind tipping my waiters, car wash people, barista, bar tender, etc... Typically, these people provide a service beyond your initial order... they bring the food out to you, they clean you car the way you like it, they put up with your ridiculous request for an upside down drink, crafted to perfection... whatever... we're good here.

My problem is with a growing number of establishments where you walk in, order your food and walk out. When you get ready to pay, their little screen shows you the tipping options... I always wonder... tip for what? doing your bare minimum job? All you did is prepare a sandwich with less than impressive-quality ingredients.

Just a rant... feel free to vent about your own similar rants.

Quick poll: Mint Mobile experience https://houstonnewmedia.org/quick-poll-mint-mobile-experience/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=quick-poll-mint-mobile-experience Thu, 06 Jan 2022 16:47:06 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=5134f24421ddc4782870a645cb452596

I'm considering switching from Metro by T-Mobile to Mint mobile, and I'm curious if any users in the Houston area can rate their network performance.

Points of concern are actual coverage areas (seen the map, but I'm more interested on real user input), dropped calls, issues sending/receiving MMS, and lastly, any speed issues caused by data depriorization.

Thanks

Good taco stand/truck near Stafford / Sugarland https://houstonnewmedia.org/good-taco-stand-truck-near-stafford-sugarland/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=good-taco-stand-truck-near-stafford-sugarland Wed, 01 Dec 2021 21:33:49 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=f2c06c9476565ecb0093f11e6389eb11

Can anyone suggest a good taco stand/taco truck near the Sugarland or Stafford area? I'm a huge fan of authentic tacos, and you can find some good options even in taquerias inside gas stations around... some good, some not so much... If anyone has had any good tacos, please share.

Thanks
