It's 13 days into 2019 and we've already lost two in two days.

Sounds like Vegas is on track for top 3 most dangerous cities to bike in again unfortunately. Stay safe out there.

Edit: This is an issue near and dear to me. Some of you may remember I was nearly killed in August on my bike as well. Reach out to the Southern Nevada Bicycle Coalition if you would like to help. http://www.snvbc.org/

Uber Pool Express is a great idea. However, at least in my city it seems incredibly dangerous for drivers and passengers.

The express pool almost always asks me to meet my driver on a street corner and get picked up from the street side. In my city (Las Vegas) speed limits are 35mph on average with 3 lane roads in most places and 45mph 4 lane in front of my apartment. If I request an express pickup it asks me to wait on the side of the road and get picked up there. The driver has to stop in the right lane of traffic and block the cycling lane as well forcing cyclist into the street. There have been multiple close calls of cars either almost rear ending my driver, once a cyclist was yelling at us and multiple times they just went out into traffic in a 45.

My suggestion would be to only set pickup points

Ice Mocha

This morning during our 9:30 rush.

Phone Rings

Me "Good morning thanks for calling coffee shop!"

CX "Hey! What's up?! Ice Mocha?"

Me "Yes we have Ice Mocha. Did you want to order one for pickup?"

CX "No! Ice Mocha lotta weeeeeeeeeeddddddd!"

He just hangs up and I'm left standing there trying to process what just happened. I ain't even mad. Yes, he had a stereotypical stoner voice.

Hey everyone, not necessarily just Barista related, but it's the Holidays and people get desperate. Remember to train your baristas to spot and avoid quick change and other scams.

Sorry if it's not allowed. Just a friendly reminder that financially motivated crime is extremely high this time of year.

One of my most experienced and intelligent Baristas got scammed today by a slight of hand trick. Reviewing the camera I recognized it as someone who tried to quick change scam me last year around the same time ago until I told him I knew what he was trying to pull. Unfortunately even the smartest fall for it.

We've also had someone try to scam us for a refund, scam us by saying we gave them a fake $20 and scam us on square by saying they had to enter a gift card number through "other payments" method in the past month.
