If you like such gadgets, check out Mike Jeavon's Infomercialism on YouTube where he tries out various "great gadgets" you might see on shopping channels and such. ;)

It never really did any good against the £ either.

10 years ago it was 2.5$ for a £.

Oddly enough, I found the most disturbing part the sound.  Shouldn't have watched that while wearing earbuds. :unsure:

I think giving periodic gifts to each other is one of the greatest ways to destroy value.  Let's face it, most of us have no idea what our relatives want.  If that person really needs something, chances are, he would have bought it already.  The chance of a relative figuring out what he truly needs but isn't aware of is small.

Gift coupons is a good compromise.

I am of the view that gift cards are even worse than cash.  They're essentially just cash with limitations.

I'd be jumping for joy if you had made that comment about me.  I mean, seriously, Texas Migraine House?  Nothing screams a rip-roaring good time to me like skull-rattling country music and the only waiter not too busy with line-dancing to actually serve their customers being the one stuck with the push broom to prevent the floor from becoming peanut shell hell. :bleeding:

Merchants love to sell gift cards, 'cause they knew that a significant percentage of them will never be used, so it's almost like their customers giving them cash for nothing.

Don't worry, you're not getting one either.  :)

(I can't recall ever having eaten there, but now there's one about a mile from my apartment. Do the waiters really line dance? That sounds interesting.)

If you tried their honey-butter rolls, you would not say such things.

I have eaten there. I didn't think there was anything strange about it beyond the peanut shell buckets. I did not recall any loud country music or line dancing. But maybe it is different actually in Texas :P

Yeah they are pretty amazing.

Texas Roadhouse  :yuk:

The food is ok but I CANNOT STAND all the peanut shells everywhere.  It's disgusting.  It's like they are saying "hey rats, mice, and cockroaches... come on in!"

Post by: MadBurgerMaker on July 16, 2015, 10:19:55 AM
Yeah, Logan's used to be like that too until they put the "shell" bucket on the tables.  Haven't been there in a while, but there were almost no shells on the floor like....a year ago.

The only Texas Roadhouse I've ever been to was in Guam.  It sucked. 

E:  Although to be fair, it WAS the only place in Guam that I was aware of that would give me limes (instead of lemons) when I asked for them.  And I guess relative to most places there the food was fine.  The atmosphere was stupid though.

I love the shells on the floor, which btw do not attract vermin.  The horrible beer selection may do that, but not the shells.
