r/Edmonton

I did not think I would be so sad for something like this. But I have been going to Tasty Noodle since it was Noodle Noodle downtown, since I was a 13 or 14. I am 40 now. They all know me by name lol. I have probably been there 500 times in my life or more no joke. Today I went to order from them on Uber eats and it said " closed permanently". I know their prices have become pretty insane since covid and I could no longer go as much I had liked - $55 for one person and you are still hungry. But it was still worth it once and a while.

It is just so sad. I would have paid for some of their recipes. Like their curry squid and bean curd roll. I do not know what I am going to do with my life at this point. I do not have much going on. Yes I know there are other places, Jumbo is good, but since covid their menu is so small now. I also feel sorry for the owners. I could see the place was really slow for a long time. I really hope they did this so they could retire and not cause they were financially ruined.

⚠️ Uber Eats/DoorDash Warning (Edmonton)

PSA: Uber Eats drivers paying with their own card on grocery orders is a growing scam

Just experienced this with a grocery order. The driver paid for my entire order using his own credit card instead of charging my card. When several items were wrong/missing and I returned them, the refund went straight to his card, not mine.

This appears to be an intentional scam because:

• He can deliberately mess up the order (wrong items, missing items) to trigger a refund
• The refund goes to his card → he gets free money + credit card points/cashback
• He still gets paid by Uber + keeps his high completion stats

My bank confirmed this type of fraud is becoming common with Uber Eats and DoorDash grocery orders.

How to protect yourself:

1. Always check the receipt right after delivery to confirm it was charged to your card, not the driver’s.
2. Do not tip until after you’ve inspected the full order.
3. Take clear photos of the receipt, items, and any issues.
4. Screenshot the driver’s info, license plate, and order details in the app.

If something feels off, report it immediately with evidence. Stay safe!

I posted previously. Got in an accident and the other driver was at fault. He filed the police report and I gave his insurance info to mine.

I’ve been told his insurance has not contacted him so he has not been placed at fault. It seems he did not report the accident.

My car is officially a write off

What can I do? Can I call his insurance and give them the collision report # so they can pull the report?

It’s a breach of contract for him to not report it or dodge his insurance from what I’ve read. So will I have to pursue him through a lawyer?

Los peperetes tuna belly and the likes

My ASD 4 year old son loves waterslides and water parks, I’m thinking of taking him to world Waterpark in WEM, but how many slides can he ride in my lap? Any of the bigger ones?

This is the vibe my friend is looking for. They liked Ruth’s steakhouse but I’m sure there’s more and better options. La Ronde looks interesting.

This morning I was throwing my work bag into my car and I saw something really weird in my back seat. It was a jolly rancher wrapped inside a tied condom. I was scratching my head hard until I remembered yesterday I was driving on St. Albert trail and some kid was throwing what my fiance and I thought were pebbles. I was pissed that some dumb kid was throwing pebbles at my car, and according to her there was a moment where the kid looked shocked. My windows were rolled down so I just assumed a pebble made it into the car. Welp. I found the “pebble”. It is in fact not a pebble. Kids are disgusting.

I got orthotics a few years ago from this clinic in the south; however, the orthotics suck lol.

Looking for a new place that you had a good experience with

I live in thd Old Strathcona neighborhood. Last year and now this year as well, there's been a reoccurring acrid smell of burning plastic/chemicals that emerges at night between midnight and 4AM in the outside air. It's quite unsettling and disgusting, and forces me to close my windows when trying to sleep. Just wondering if anyone else in the neighborhood has experienced the same smell, if I'm imagining things, or if it's more or less localized to where I'm at.
