  - I thought their bankruptcy was just to put their location leases on hold during the pandemic, but the one a block away auctioned their kitchen etc. -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 11, 14:30
  - Looking on their website, don't see any in Washington right now (at least not near Seattle). Have to go to OR or ID. -- nm - ty97 Mar 11, 13:46 1
    - Yeah, I know of two Sizzlers near me. -- nm - Bacon Mar 11, 13:48

- I wish I could tell you why sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. Depends on my mood -- nm - Pippy: Court of Fog and War Mar 11, 13:24 1
  - This but even more so the mood/attitude of the cashier. I do nice things for nice people. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 13:26
- Weirdly, it depends on whether he charged me for half the tiles or charged me half the price on all the tiles - oblique Mar 11, 13:11 1

- Did I find out at the point of sale or after I got home? Cause I’m more inclined to speak up at the time than later. -- nm - Qale Mar 11, 13:07 6
  - Stopping a mistake from happening vs pointing out one made. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 13:24
  - That’s interesting. The passage of time obviates the inclination to say something? - Loyola Mar 11, 13:12 4
    - It’s often difficult to correct things like this after the fact. -- nm - Qale Mar 11, 16:03
    - Morally, no. But for me, time obfuscates my guilt, I think. - JaxSean Mar 11, 13:21 2
      - i also feel that if they made a mistake, it's not up to me to spend my time fixing it... my time has value too. -- nm - colin Mar 11, 13:38
