octopus car wash [ Tue Feb 2 2010 3:59 PM ]

In my experience, the octopus employees are not the most careful people. They sorta rush through things quickly, using rags on the car outside then inside without regard to scratching tint, etc. They broke my visor.

Octopus [ Tue Feb 2 2010 4:35 PM ]

I find it better to go during the week, or Sunday evening when it's not a peak rush hour. They tend to rush through things a lot more when the line wraps around the building.
I bring my car there every week and haven't had a bad experience yet, with the exception of some water spots sometimes left behind, but that's nitpicking. :)

Illegals at Octopus [ Tue Feb 2 2010 5:49 PM ]

Octopus hires illegal aliens but I guess no one cares about that. I used to be a cashier there, the one on San Mateo. I tried reporting the illegals to the authorities but no one wanted to know about it so I just let it drop. That place sucks. The manager is a bitch. They wouldn't let me take smoke breaks and grudgingly let me have like one bathroom break per shift. If you're a white employee they treat you like crap.

Red-Light Camera funds - One time only deal. [ Tue Feb 2 2010 9:34 PM ]

Note that this was a fund from when the cameras were first turned on and a boatload of money was generated. The cameras currently do not generate ANY funds at this point towards the city. Half of the money collected goes to Rediflex and the other half goes to the state. Marty the hair-loosin' mayor had put himself into a difficult spot with this money and simply would not be able to spend the money without a bitch storm. It was supposed to be used to pay for the "court" that the tickets use.

How civil of you [ Wed Feb 3 2010 10:09 AM ]

I guess it doesn't matter to you if people break the law. I guess you don't care about illegals in our country sucking up our resources and benefits healthcare etc and taking our jobs and screwing up the language so we won't even be able to understand each other. You don't care about the law do you?
