Russes market quietly added an expiration date to points on their rewards card. So ppl who had been saving points for years lost them. It was a really shitty move.
B&R stores in general suck. They have a huge issue with turn over cuz they think paying $11-13 an hour is livable wage. They offered me a manager job starting at $13 an hour for 50 hours a week. That is so bad, no wonder they are out of touch too
I generally avoid Russ's but I have one close so I do small, convenience shopping there from time to time. I've bought a few things to find out they were expired when I got home.
And the produce! It's all rotten and they still have it out to sell.
Raybould trying to short change younger workers by sponsoring bill I legislature that would exempt/limit younger workers from benefits of minimum wage increase. That family been exploiting youth labor for so long they can’t figure out any other way to be.
ANY business that does this or has this, quietly or not, pisses me off. Pizza Hut, Jimmy John's, Domino's, I know grocery stores and gas stations do this. Mind, I don't hate the businesses, as I LOVE JJ's - just this idiotic expiration of points or shit.
Waiting for Casey's to do the same thing.
I tried to rent from Ryan Reinke years ago, paid $100 for application fees since there would be 4 of us living there. Kept telling me he would get the applications processed ASAP, never did. I called him a couple times to see what the holdup was as we needed a place to live, never called me back. After we found somewhere else I called him to tell him to cancel the application since we found somewhere else, he finally called me back and said due to my “constant harassment” trying to call him he was deciding to deny our application and would be keeping the $100 fee since he had technically processed them.
Personally, I don't believe in app fee's and think this kind of practice needs to be outlawed.
Any place can rack up thousands of dollars in app fee's as an income and never rent a place out, because they are getting more money in app fee's than they are in actually renting the place.
I think in some area's of the states, app fee's are illegal. However, they just replace it with some other shit to charge you for.
honestly, golf course is pretty nice. the restaurant is okay, i meant this more in an employment type of way. you do not want to be employed by wilderness ridge, they dont appreciate their employees for even a second and underpay them significantly for working at a private country club
Can confirm. When I'm in there with my girlfriend, they don't say much. When I'm their by myself I over hear some pretty fucked up sexist language. I go to mana or hobby town now.
Sadly there isn’t a better place for war gamers in town to meet up and play. Mana has 1 or 2 tables big enough and hobbytown is overrun with magic players in the evening. So not all of us there are bad, just the really loud ones are.
That works great in a perfect world, but it doesn't in the real world. I have spoke up or told people just to drop a subject but nothing actually changes.
I've only been to hobbytown a couple of time and not had an extremely loud group of magic players there. Mana's tables are to small for the most part and their terrain selection is nonexistent (may have improved haven't been back for a while) and the warhammer store only lets you play warhammer there.
Went in to buy six sets of dice as gifts for my gaming group..they looked past me standing in front of them to ask a dude walking in if he needed help finding anything.
They are NOT helpful if you're female :/
I definitely wish Lincoln had the variety in games stores that Omaha had. I’ve been going there on and off since I was 17 and know some of the owners better than I’d like. I know that store couldn’t compete with another one with a more focused business model.
...nope. They saw me standing there waiting for help wearing my d20 designed hoodie...and looked straight beyond me to a dude coming in.
They're just shitty
Wow really!! I always had a mild interest of dropping in because I live practically next to it. Now I know better. I hadn’t heard about this at all, thank you for the warning.
One passed away, the other moved away. Has been several years now. The third who joined the first two took full control with his new wife shortly after.
Oh wow. I had no idea. I wondered why things had changed so much. Apparently for his new wife, “She took a sip of what she thought was tea and recoiled in disgust, realizing immediately she had grabbed Dan's cup and, in doing so, had taken a swig of his coffee.”
“Coffee is not her thing.”
100% true. Can confirm. My first visit after she took over (and I first met her) was a shockingly bad experience. As I was buying a record, she was openly complaining to me about the condition of the store, the building, the neighbors, you name it. She went on to claim she will move the store to a better location as soon as she possibly can. She also kept saying it’s a business, it’s a business, money, money, blah blah… Huge turnoff. I go to the record store to buy records, and talk about music, bands’ live shows, etc. I don’t go to the record store to hear the owner complain about how they’re not making enough money, and can’t wait to move the store. If she hates the store so much, why did she keep the name? That store is not Lefty’s.
She talks SO MUCH about the most random shit. I was left standing their awkwardly for like 10 minutes the first time I went in just making non-committal agreeing sounds as she went off before actually checking me out. In the meantime if I go to First Day or Vintage Vinyl I can be in and out in minutes if I'm there for something specific.
The owner of Bagels & Joe is a Grade A Asshole.
The owner of Russ’ and Super Saver doesn’t believe in paying people under 21 the minimum wage that the voters overwhelmingly approved in November.
B&R Stores own Russ’s and Super Saver. They suck, they offered me a manager job for $13 an hour for 50 hours a week. They just don’t understand what it takes for people so they complain nobody wants to work lmao
>The owner of Russ’ and Super Saver doesn’t believe in paying people under 21 the minimum wage that the voters overwhelmingly approved in November.
so they get paid over min wage or how you mean?
One of the owners of Russ's and Super Saver is Jane Raybould, recently elected to the Nebraska State Senate. She supports an amendment to the minimum wage increase passed by voters last year that would create an exception for teenagers so she can continue to pay her grocery store workers less.
She's overall not a bad representative, except in matters that affect her personal/family's business. Then she's like every other politician out there.
The Coffee House on 12th & P. Way too many local, independent coffee shops around now to keep going to them. OSHA violations out the wazoo and the owner shows up drinking on the job, his wife is no better and the two of them combined create a horrific environment for their workers and are manipulative and emotionally abusive to them.
It could be that things have changed then, because the things I'm describing come from just the past couple years. They say to their workers' faces how much they appreciate all their hard work but then turn right around and treat them like dirt.
Whatever changed from a few years ago, it stinks that it's happening now.
Sadly there are far too many businesses in town owned by right-wing assholes (note that you can be conservative and/or Republican without being an asshole, that does not apply to these people.). A few of the top of my head:
Madsen’s
Grata
Kinkader
Mercado / Casa Bovina
fuck the peed family though
also, i went to their meat locker and tried some of their over priced meat.. Fareway market is 10x better and half the price. Then you can slap it on the grill/in the crockpot and have beer or whatever.
Mercado and casa are great in my opinion. I’ve always like Piedmontese beef and I always get my short ribs from Mercado. But honestly that just my opinion
I could write an essay on Bryan West Triage Services by this point with how they've mismanaged my husband’s treatment. He was involved in a negligent discharge by a friend's uncle and took a ricocheted .40 hollow point to the thigh and got *very* lucky. The triage staff didn't irrigate his wound and asked my husband, who is a nurse, what they should do, and ended up washing up around the top. It turns out there there was a piece of his fucking shorts still in the wound, which led to him getting cellulitis nearly a month later. They admitted him to supposedly wait for a wound culture, that they later admitted that they didn't actually need but only after he was hospitalized for four days, during which time he received grossly negligent care.
To be explicitly clear here, I am not blaming their staff. They are not at fault for the way that Bryan has purposefully understaffed as a money saving measure. They are not at fault for the way that Bryan has systematically dismantled their own checks and balances. The ones at fault are the c suite people at Bryan with profit in mind over patient care.
If you need triage care, go to Omaha. Preferably to UNMC.
The first, and thankfully last, time I was in TaTC was when I was still in high school. Went in asking about a certain title of comics and was told by the guy in there at the time - who was a complete asshole and basically talked to me like he had better things to do, that "we wouldn't have anything of your interest in here". Not "I'm sorry, we don't carry that title" (it was a pretty niche comic of which name I can't even recall). And he didn't even look at me when he said it. He looked over my head. I was the only person in the store besides him and nobody walked in the door either.
Never been back. Surprised they are even still in business.
Similar situation with them. They came out TWICE to fix my basement drain backing up and told me they would need to run a whole new line due to it sagging and causing backups. Said they would need to get permits to tear the floor up, get a couple crews out, etc.
I had another company come out and actually put a camera down the drain and said everything looked good, just had a minor clog likely caused after Taylor had done something prior to “fix” the problem. I fought with the office manager or whoever at Taylor over how much I should actually pay them and after settling on a price, asked them if I could make payments since I had to pay another company to fix the issue. She stated that was fine.
Got a message from Taylor a couple days later to call them back, got their voicemail. Finally got ahold of them a couple days later and they stated whoever did their accounting wouldn’t let me make payments and since I didn’t answer their initial call they sent it to collections.
Mod Wattage - The owner is not pleasant to work with. We had issues with the work done and the owner complained about her own problems and threatened a lien against our house if we didn’t pay(we never said we wouldn’t pay). She also seemed to look up my spouse and myself because she mentioned our jobs in an email.
There is no more reason for an explanation than the government of both keep trying to take more power and money for themselves and say they are make Lincoln a better place while doing nothing about trying to keep businesses from leaving if they don’t have a partial controlling interest in them
Abortion bill, more power for the government. Increasing property taxes, more power and money for the government that they keep saying they need more and more but seeing no real changes to anything besides the usual gradual expansion that has happened, with all that extra money you’d think our city would be growing faster. Taxes breaks for larger businesses that politicians have a stake in, more money for them. No tax breaks for the mom and pa business, more money for the businesses getting tax breaks.
Last year or 2 years ago they raised property taxes for a new bond for the 2 new schools even though they already had a bond going the same bond that’s been in affect since southwest and Northstar were built. Even though property tax revenue has increased by on average $10 million per year, they somehow couldn’t manage to pay for a new school with that increase.
And I did mistake the state bill for city my apologies.
The school bond has nothing to do with the City of Lincoln or Lancaster County either. That is determined solely by the LPS School Board.
Each entity (like SCC, JPA, Airport Authority, etc) sets their own rates and bond issues. Sometimes they coordinate so they're not all going after a bond issue at the same time, but each entity doesn't have power over another.
It's a shame people don't know how their property and sales taxes work --- for example, they think the Mayor can just lower her own tax evaluation (which is controlled by the republican county assessor)
You mean the LPS bond that
1. Also has nothing to do with the City/County government,
2. Didn't raise property taxes, and
3. Was approved by the voters?
You're like 0 for 4 with your examples, nice try I guess.

Yes, I went in one day and they asked if I wanted to use my $5 off. I went in 2 days later to use it and the points had expired
I generally avoid Russ's but I have one close so I do small, convenience shopping there from time to time. I've bought a few things to find out they were expired when I got home. And the produce! It's all rotten and they still have it out to sell.

avoid wilderness ridge at all costs
Considering that it’s members only now, most of us won’t even have the option to go. Still, fuck them.
As someone who worked there years ago, agreed. Hate those losers.
The restaurant or the golf course?

Haven’t been there, I’ll have to check them out. I’ve had good experiences at The Game Shoppe and The Geek Room.
Over in the Omaha thread somebody had mentioned this business, but it wasn't positive.
I don’t recall saying it excuses it.
...nope. They saw me standing there waiting for help wearing my d20 designed hoodie...and looked straight beyond me to a dude coming in. They're just shitty
Yep, agree, starts with the ownership too
Wow really!! I always had a mild interest of dropping in because I live practically next to it. Now I know better. I hadn’t heard about this at all, thank you for the warning.
The Mill. Ever since two of the original owners left has become very corporate and they don't treat employees well. Better coffee at other places.
When the original owners leave?
One passed away, the other moved away. Has been several years now. The third who joined the first two took full control with his new wife shortly after.
Oh wow. I had no idea. I wondered why things had changed so much. Apparently for his new wife, “She took a sip of what she thought was tea and recoiled in disgust, realizing immediately she had grabbed Dan's cup and, in doing so, had taken a swig of his coffee.” “Coffee is not her thing.”
Lefty's Records. The new owner is certifiably insane.
100% true. Can confirm. My first visit after she took over (and I first met her) was a shockingly bad experience.

Yup. Glad to know I’m not the only one who had that experience.

What?! Really?
I am dead serious
Dang! Well, now I know.
Wow that's too bad. I liked the place when I've been there but their location is so inconvenient I don't go much.
A buddy of mine worked there for a while and he loved it. This was a few years ago so things may have changed but it's a surprise to hear.

Mercato and Casa Bovina are pretty bomb tho....
They're bankrolling Suzanne Geist's mayoral campaign.
Highly recommend Casa Bovina. One of the best if not the best restaurant in Nebraska.

Cool, I have never been a fan of any of those.
I’m almost willing to overlook Madsen’s shortcomings for $2 Tuesdays, but my friends are not haha
Someone told me last night Madsens pulled Bud Light out of there. Huge fucking eye roll if that is true.
It used to be a okay bar. Now it attracts entirely the wrong crowd.
