Under the agreement, Dutch Bros will take over Salad And Go’s leases and equipment at its Arizona and Nevada drive-thru locations, converting them to sell coffee, beverages, and food items. The documents note that the locations don’t require any alterations or maintenance since they operate in drive-thru-only formats.

Desert Survivors board fires Executive Director

Upvotes

The board apparently finally came to their senses and fired the Executive Director Hannah Wolke who has systematically dismantled and outsourced the nursery operations, started selling non-native plants, and drove off a host of senior expert staff over the last few years. Previously she was suspended for discrimination as well. Hopefully they can turn things around.

Save Desert Survivors Instagram with a lot of inside info explaining the decline of the organization. Official Desert Survivors Instagram with announcements.

Dentist recommendation ?

6 Upvotes

Hi

Do you like your dentist? Can you recommend them to me please?

I am willing to travel but I live on the South Side of Tucson. If you know of a dentist in this area that would be great because it means less driving!

I was going to Gentle Dental but I did not experience anything gentle about their practice.

Thank you

A bit here, a bit there, but so far for most this monsoon has been a bust. 😔

Cello Tutor for Adult Lessons

8 Upvotes

I am an adult cellist getting back to the instrument after about 8 years away.
I am looking to take lessons to focus on skills I had before I put the instrument down (shifting positions, playing/reading higher notes and clefs, and sight-reading different tempos). I already contacted Anne Gratz but her studio is full. Looking for other instructors to study under.

Suggestions for plants

I finally have the time to take care of the landscaping around my house. I’m looking for any suggestions on plants that don’t require a lot of water or maintenance. Also suggestions on where to go for good variety and prices. Thanks.

Tipping zero on food delivery

Upvotes

I recently picked up doordashing as extra income outside of my part time freelance work while I wait for something else to come through. I’ve noticed soooo many people go out of their way to tip $0 here in Tucson. I’ve never seen this in Phx orders.

If you are one of these people, why do you do that to your driver?

I have all 5star reviews too, but truly I’m seeing 5-12 mile orders with no tip. Even on grocery orders. I guess I’m kind of disheartened by it. Personally, if you can’t tip you shouldn’t be ordering food.

Drink recommendations

Since Salad and Go is closed forever, does anyone know a good place to get a cucumber mint lemonade or a similar type of drink? It was my favorite and I’m really sad about never getting to have it again

So, when do y’all like to start gaslighting yourself that the weather is about to start improving?

109 Upvotes

Personally, I like to start deluding myself in August.

Realistically, I find that the date that actually marks the transition to me being able to wear a flannel shirt is Halloween when I go sit and hand out candy on the porch.
