I've heard this too. However, the slowness of service had been a problem for a while before they sold. We usually had planned on 2-2 1/2 hours for a meal there, for 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) with appetizers and entree, no dessert. Sometimes that wasn't enough. And we weren't going on nights when there was a line out the door.

Several things. First, the packages labelled for a pound of fish contained what appeared to be about the same amount of fish. Second, holding both packages, you could tell they weighed about the same, and one wasn't double the other. Third, as /u/sparr suggested, I checked against the produce scale. Finally, I had the cashier weigh them on their scales.

Nope, I'd prefer we spend the time and effort to find the best qualified candidate for the position. Not running a search gets us folks like Joe Petty, Maureen Binienda and Steve Sargent. The school folks figured it out and ran a search that got us Dr Monarrez, who seems to be doing quite well in her first few months.

Not sure why you think it's racist to want to know we got the best person?

Caola Equipment on Park Ave charged $50 for the pickup in delivery, and $180 for the service, plus $40 for the various parts that were needed. I usually have them do it every other year unless I notice something is wrong. Had the snowblower for about 20 years, no issues with that pattern .
