To Minime and everyone here

Free flow is the creative spark, the magic in the moment, the gift that can transform sitting under a sad neglected tree eating a lousy hero made of fake ingredients that sticks to the roof of our mouths into a gourmet meal and white tablecloths and a fine Bordeaux like waving a magic wand.

That's the real gold and we can't allow the bad guys to bully it out of us.

Creativity is the most valuable asset we have, along with knowing when we're being conned.

The stupidity that's being perpetrated is petty and short sighted and it's nothing new.

We've watched it before and while the perpetrators are melting down because they can't get their triple shot oat milk mocha lattes as the Lamborghini idles outside the $15 per serving coffee shop, we will be sitting under that tree drinking home brewed java at 50 cents a serving sipping the nectar of gratitude that were surviving another round and don't have to live with the destruction they've brought upon so many including themselves.

Stay free Minime

I might do their hot subs every once in a while even with no fee. I like theirs a lot and it is close to my house. But a cold sub...no. Now as for ACL I used to do them a lot at fine dining and as i recall the fee was $3. I never understood that. Back in the day they would reimburse me for what was over $100 easily then dinner for two but today worth a lot more. That was good enough for me for the report. The $3 did not really help at all but at least it was something. And once in a while I miscalculated prices so those few extra dollars did not put me out of pocket. I don't ever like going out of pocket on a ms. I have not seen any fine dining from them in my area for a long time and I am not about to drive around and spend time and effort on a free glass of juice.
They still have the Japanese bbq but the reimbursement has not changed in years and the menu prices have doubled. Those jobs are gone before being posted. I guess some people work or coupons. Or go alone but its not much of an alone place. I have never seen a single diner there.
Today they sent me a note asking for me to do one of their Juice places. How do they not seem to know it is at the airport? I wrote back and said if they buy me a plane tic I will do it for them. I always get asked to do beyond security at LAX as it is so close to my house. Every place there has the same worldway address but none of the companies have figured out those locations are all beyond security. It s a huge airport with hundreds of shopped restaurants in a big city. They should recognize where they are. LAX restaurants are 95% beyond security except in the International term where there are a few in the ticketing area and one or two small places in baggage. The other eight or so terminals have no pre security shops or food.
