He once heard an American say 'hamburger' in place of 'ground beef' and now that means the whole country was saying it. 😂 He possibly misheard that famous JFK speech "Ich bin ein Hamburger" 🤔 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s best left alone unless you have made it yourself. But why? if it does why not include it in the description. Youd think these days with food safety rules you would have to. I’ve noticed an increasing trend in restaurants to be asked if I/ we have any allergies. Mind you the sweetcorn incident was years ago Edited September 1, 2023 by The Voice of Reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re embarrassing yourself. I'm curious. What part of Kopek's post could be considered "slightly racist"? And which 'race' was it aimed at? Can someone be "slightly racist"? Seems to me that one is either racist or not at all. Or is there, as you seem to be implying, grey areas/different levels? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxman1234 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Finally decided to try Barneys in Balasalla, parked up, went in and waited for a few mins, no staff to be seen. whilst waiting notice sign saying cash only. it’s 2023, of business are to thrive and succeed, then they need to first of all be there to serve and secondly accept card payments 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoTailT Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) We found this with Rush Inn of Castletown. Their delivery service would also include card payment, little SumUp machines the driver would carry, so we would avail of it. Then they changed delivery to cash only and we simply stopped using them. Edited September 1, 2023 by NoTailT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I didn't have my card on me so missed out on a meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
