I can’t be 100% certain, but I think there might be a fairly well done phishing scam floating around in the name of the Waterloo Region vaccine effort, either that or someone is doing some testing in the production environment that ought not be done there. While I was away over the holidays (Boxing Day …

Cart2Curb Has Been Good2Me
I discovered something that can hopefully get me out of a bind if I remember it’s here, and if it stays around of course. I was playing around on You Gotta Shop Here to figure out how it worked, and stumbled across Cart2Curb, a delivery service that serves the region and Guelph too. They’re like …
Something The Unvaccinated Can Do That Isn’t The Usual Thing I Tell them They Can Do
The willfully unvaccinated aren’t high up on the list of folks I would expect to knowingly do something for the good of others, but this is still handy to know. Canadian Blood Services is encouraging people to donate blood, even if they haven’t been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Gina Leyva, the territory manager at Canadian …
There Is Much To Be Learned Here. About The Law, About Customer Service, And About How To Truly Help
None of this should be happening. There’s little excuse for not knowing as a business owner that service dogs are allowed in your establishment in everything but very specific, extreme circumstances. But none of this should be happening either. Others have shown up to the restaurant parking lot, just to see the place in person. …
It’s Full Steam Ahead! Now Go Sit In The Parking Lot
Businesses returning to normal capacity will not be inspected for social distancing Was there confusion over this? Why, if so?

Just Do It Already
Merge Kitchener and Waterloo, 292 people tell the province in survey I didn’t grow up here, but I grew up close enough to here that I always had at least a passing familiarity with how things were here thanks to all the local news and visiting. And one of the things I could never get …
What In The Heck Is A Person-On-Person Robbery?

Define Heartbreaking
‘Heartbreaking’: Unvaccinated food services director to be suspended from 22-year job at Cambridge LTC There is exactly one heartbreaking thing going on here, and it’s not that this woman might lose her job. It’s that there are people this selfish and thickheaded working with the sick and vulnerable. Yes, I am being harsh. No, I …
Here Comes The Ba Da Ba Ba Bride
I have nothing much to say about these people who got married at a local McDonald’s. I’m really only posting this so I can make that title joke. But since I’m here, come on, CTV. The best you could come up with was “McWedding vows”? Step it up, guys. Anyway, congratulations to the happy McDoubles. …
Make Me A Bleepity Bleep Bleeping Gift Basket Right The Bleep Now!
The other day, I called Dana Shortt Gourmet to ask them something and I got their voicemail. It started off like a normal voicemail, and then my jaw dropped open when it said something like “Please note that aggressive behaviour towards our staff in person or on the phone will not be tolerated.” That sentence …
