I liked this board a lot. (I won 407 to 379, but that's neither here nor there.)

Scotchy Scotch Lemon?

I was served a scotch on the rocks with lemon in it last night. Not a twist, an actual slice of lemon. I removed it immediately, but my scotch had a hint of citrus to it, which was weird. It was also overpriced.

OMG...HBU?

Late last night I received a text message from a Baltimore area cell phone number I did not know. The following is our correspondence.

RANDOM BALTIMORE GIRL: You in New York? And awake later likd [sic] 3? Plans just fell through, any chance (Audrey and I) could crash with you?


SEAN: Audrey smells bad. She can’t stay at my place.


RANDOM BALTIMORE GIRL: What?


SEAN: Wait, where are u [sic] guys? Maybe I’ll come out.


RANDOM BALTIMORE GIRL: On the bus, She’s on the train. Her train is late, don’t want to take the subway at 3 or 4 to Astoria. You live in Manhattan, or do you live further out?


SEAN: I live in Brooklyn, but I’m at my girlfriend’s in Manhattan. Who is this? Where are you coming from? Who do you think I am?


RANDOM BALTIMORE GIRL: Found a place. Take care.


SEAN: Aww. Tell Audrey I said hi!


RANDOM BALTIMORE GIRL: You’ve never met her.


SEAN: I’ve never met you either.

Salsa Makes Things Free

Submitted to Qdoba customer service survey:

I ordered a Quesadilla which was prepared just fine. My girlfriend ordered a Fajita Ranchera Burrito with Pork. We presented a coupon for a free chips and salsa. The person taking our order asked what salsa we wanted. We decided to just have the chips as we didn’t need the salsa. When she rang up our meal, we were charged for the chips. When I questioned her, I was informed that because I did not want salsa with my chips, that the coupon had become invalid and I was getting charged for the chips. So, here’s the problem, if you ARE going to have a strange rule where you MUST have the salsa with the chips in order for the coupon to be valid, please have your employees inform the customers of your very bizarre policy. But that just seems like wasting salsa. We ended up taking some salsa, so that we could get the chips for free. That salsa could have fed a needy person who actually wanted it.

As we were leaving, I also noticed that we were charged an extra 79 cents for peppers and onions in my girlfriend’s burrito. As the Ranchera comes with peppers and onions, we questioned this. We were informed that you could not get the Ranchera with pork (Sarah had ordered a non-existent burrito,) but instead we were charged with a regular burrito, they then took away the beans, and added the onions and peppers. Again, this was something that we would have liked to have known as we were ordering.

We really enjoy Qdoba and hope to be back again in an environment where ordering food is not so frustrating.

Also Genius Switch Studio (http://www.geniusswitchstudio.com) is pretty freaking great. They are doing some great work for us.
