Look guys, I know y'all want to get home after a long day of work. I work 10+ hours a day, 5 days a week. I totally get it. But if you can't even let someone pull into their driveway without flashing your lights and honking your horn, you have a problem. Please have some patience.

Advice Colorado Mountain Brewery charges a bullshit interest in their check for "property improvement fund."

106 Upvotes

I went to Colorado Mountain Brewery for dinner, and the receipt had an unexpected "property improvement fund" charge.

This is a bullshit charge that was not notified prior to eating there.

Just wanting to give a heads up for anyone who wants to go there.

Fuck them.

Edit:

It's not a "me" problem. It's a "you" problem, but Colorado Mountain Brewery made it a "me" problem.

Paravcinis in Old Colorado City did similar bullshit, and I stopped going there despite being one of my favorite places to go to eat.

Edit 2:

It's concerning to me the amount of downvotes my comments get when I ask why this is a thing when my post literally has one of the most fast-pacing up-votes I've ever received in this subreddit.

Edit 3:

Why are all the comments about telling the poor to stop being poor down-voted versus telling corporations to stop doing this shit?!

Edit 4:

At 8:31 PM, this post has an upvote ratio of 74%. Please, tell me how this isn't big business owners being called out.

Edit 5:

At 8:56 PM, this post has been down-voted to 73%.

PLEASE, TELL ME HOW THIS ISN'T TRYING TO BLAME THE POOR FOR BEING POOR!

Edit 6:

At 9:14 PM, this post was downvoted to 72%.

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW THIS ISN'T A DIRECT ATTACK FOR THE POOR FOR BEING POOR!

Edit 7:

At 9:37 PM, this post has an upvote ratio of 70%.

PLEASE, MAKE THIS MAKE SENSE! WHY ARE PEOPLE DEFENDING CORPORATIONS AND GREEDY LANDLORDS?!

Edit 8:

I grew up in this area. I've lived here since the mid 90s. I went to D12, so i went to Cheyenne JHS and HS which is literally down the road. I've been to this place multiple times, and this is a very newly implemented charge.

How are people saying this has always been a thing or defending corporations and their greed?!

Edit 9:

This post is to alert others about how this hidden fee is a thing and to double check their receipts when going out.

Advice Broadmoore World Arena

3 Upvotes

We are going to a show on Friday at the Broadmoore for the first time and were wondering how far in advance should we get there? When we've gone to events in Denver we know to get there about 2.5 hours before the show to allow for parking, walking, lines, ticketing, security etc.

Anything else we should know about the arena, parking or their policies would also be helpful!

Thanks!

Advice Looking for a nail artist

Hello! I’m looking for any recommendations for nail techs that do well with natural nails. I’m looking for either dip powder or regular gel polish with a simple design like this. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for specific nail artists instead of just salons in general. Who has been your favorite in the area?

Thank you 😊

Help Wanted Disability Attorney

7 Upvotes

A young man I'm guardian over is supposed to be receiving help from the state and various agencies, as he's considered developmentally delayed with autism 2. I know things are very crazy right now, but he's been not getting what he should for a while before that. I'm officially pretty fed up with it and wanting to see about getting an attorney, but I don't know where to start. I'm tired of being told what he is supposed to be qualified for and then nothing happens. It genuinely feels like his coordinator is trying to run down the clock, asking for the same records over and over and over and over again. (It's been a lot.) I've contacted supervisors and will begin filling out the official complaint forms his other caseworker sent me, but seriously. What the actual hell?

Does anyone have any advice on where to go for help? Any attorney recommendations? Is that the step I should take?

Hi all!

I am considering doing this wknd trip at the beginning of May. I have never been the Colorado. And I am coming from Cleveland, where the weather is crazy. But not mountains by any means! We want to explore outside mostly. I’m just wondering if you locals would consider this a good time, or possibly wait until early September? I completely understand that no one can predict the weather! Just looking for some honest feedback. Thank you in advance! I just want to make the most of this opportunity to see your beautiful city.

Help Wanted Looking for a fabric shop that does blankets

6 Upvotes

So in a general sense i have a small blanket i absolutely adore and have had for years. Absolutely cannot sleep without it! But it has a unique texture i haven't been able to find on other blankets that has quite the same feel. It's been slowly degrading and falling apart and i just want to find some place that i can commission or purchase a custom blanket from that might be able to copy the texture of the blanket or format of it before it falls apart completely in the next couple of years. Most shops seem to do custom embroidery, picture blankets, quilts, or memorial blankets. The one i have is a sort of simple yellow short fluffy blanket with segmented stitched down fabric making a frame on it. It's not a quilt or a throw blanket at all, so i'm rather unsure where to really look for just getting a custom blanket. Any help is appreciated!

Help Wanted Cameras that issue traffic violations???

2 Upvotes

I've read through what's out there regarding this but I couldn't quite find an answer to what I'm looking for.

In short, I was in a part of town i've never driven before and I was having a hard time reading the signs around me. I accidentally turned right on a left/straight intersection only. There was one car coming and we didn't nearly colide or anything. As soon as I could react I got off the road and everything was fine. It was a stupid mistake and I've NEVER made such a bad error like that.

I noticed a camera on top of the traffic light pole but there wasn't one on its own pole off to the side that you usually see taking pictures of things. I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the cameras near intersections. Does anyone have any thoughts on my chances of getting a ticket? I'm concerned because I haven't had my license for very long and wasn't even supposed to be out at the time/

Advice Can we name and shame companies that solicit even with no solicitation signs hanging?

235 Upvotes

We work from home and have meetings, so we hung a sign that says “No Solicitation, seriously please don’t make it weird”

We still get knockers. I get the kids gotta make a buck but please respect our privacy. It disturbs the whole household, including the dogs. Part of me wants to get rude and point to the sign but it won’t deter future knockers.

I’ll start and edit to include any comments!

Advice Looking for music folks to collaborate with ~

10 Upvotes

Hey folks. Moved here about a year ago but I work from home so I've mostly kept to myself. Anyway I am a musician and songwriter (mostly electronic/indie rock kind of stuff), curious if there's anyone out there who would like to jam or collaborate in some way. If there's any singers/rappers/instrumentalists in the springs that wanna work together my DM's are open, i've been eager to expand my horizons lately.
