Hey, it’s Dan. Welcome back. You’re watching IAllegedly. And I’ve got a good one for you today because this is insanity and it’s crazy as we take a little walk through the park. Restaurants are spying on us right now. Isn’t that crazy? Wait till I tell you this. Hit the like button, subscribe to the channel, and let’s get right into it. Found a great article about how restaurants are doing more than just taking a reservation. What they’re doing is they’re now hiring social media coordinators to walk through and look through your social media to see what type of person you are before you get to the restaurant.

I’m not making this up, guys. There’s a great article below about this, but the best part of the article clearly, the best part, is the comments below and how furious people are. Now, I’ve spoken to multiple restaurateurs. I’ve spoken to waiters, including my son who’s in town right now. And he’s like, Dan, if somebody’s a real problem, you know, we’ll write it down and keep a record of it. Remind them, you know, they didn’t pay for their wine and things like that. But this is nuts, guys. Michelin-starred restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area, which doesn’t shock me, but I’m telling you guys, there is nothing desirable to me about the San Francisco area.

It is not. You can be in a Michelin five-starred restaurant. I don’t care. But if you walk outside, you are taking your life in your own hands. And it is horrible. The greatest story ever was Shohei Otani, the dodger phenom that I hate because he left my angels. That guy went to San Francisco and they drove him to the stadium and drove down a specific path so they could limit the number of homeless people that he saw. And after he saw the stadium, they said, hey, can we show you the neighborhood you’re going to live in? And he said, don’t bother.

OK, don’t bother because it’s an asshole. So what these restaurants are doing is compiling data about people and trying to keep track of, you know, people and if they’ve made references to eating at five-star restaurants before, if they’ve spent $500 in a meal in this economy. OK, crackhead, you know, I mean, come on, it’s nuts. So Arca Arca Guello is another restaurant that keeps these records for people. Guys, this is nuts. OK, it’s absolutely insane. It’s one thing to go to open table or these reservation sites and to book yourself, you know, to these places, but to sit there and have them then go back and say, well, let’s check Dana.

Oh, my God, Dan’s kind of a hothead. You know, so do you give worse service or do you get better service when you have somebody like that? So needless to say, I think it’s just a violation, but you’re going to see more and more restaurants doing this. My son talking to him was great about the difficulty with people where people are trying to get everything they can out of a meal, everything they can. And he has seen everything from people eat half their meal and say they’re not going to pay for it. And then, OK, we are we’re going to go cake.

OK, we’re going to comp that and put it on your check. OK, we’ll just take it home. OK, the food you didn’t like, you’re going to take home. So it’s crazy, guys, absolutely crazy. But they’re keeping track of us in different ways right now. Now, the next thing it goes kind of hand in hand with this is Bank of America did a study on people traveling this summer. And people are, you know, squashing their plans right now. Now, data is collected on all of us all the time. The value in our lives is our data. The value of how you spend your money, your vacation time, where you buy your gas at, what you buy at the grocery store when you put your little rewards number in, all that stuff is kept records.

And that’s used to promote other things for us. You’ve seen it. You get those coupons when you punch your name in, you know, when your phone number and all that stuff. Bank of America did a study. Think about this. Last year, the average family spent $4,199 on vacation. This year, it’s thirty one hundred and twenty eight dollars over a thousand dollars off. So we’re twenty five percent less money, less people have requested time off as of the end of June than since before the pandemic. And 17 percent less travel has been booked during this time. That’s substantial, guys.

You’re starting to see hotels offer more discounts because occupancy is off. Now, here’s what’s not off. The wealthy, wealthy, wealthy people that go out and spend eight hundred dollars a night in the hotel, which guys, I’ve never done that in my life. And I think about the eight hundred bucks for a hotel room. You’re on vacation. I, you know, it’s one thing. It’s one thing for the hotel to give me a nice room. I thought that happened a bunch. And but to spend eight hundred dollars to sit there in your hotel room and turn on the TV and hang out.

I think it’s nuts. OK, so you’re starting to see those people that are still buying stuff. The wealthy are not affected right now. The wealthy are not affected. But I am telling you this right now, guys, anything that you ask for. And oh, I don’t like to coupon shop down. It shows how cheap you are when you ask for coupons when you stay in a hotel, if they have a restaurant there. Hey, do you guys have free breakfast for everybody in our group? How many are in your group? There’s eight of us. Well, I can’t do it, but I can do for free breakfast.

OK. Worst thing that you can do is ask the worst. But what are they going to say? No to you. It’s that simple. So it’s the summer of no airfare. It’s the summer of people staying home. It’s the summer of the staycation. It is the summer of restaurants spying on us to try to maximize what they’re going to sell us. You know, which is sick, guys. I mean, wow, Dan has a tendency to buy shrimp. So let’s sell him more shrimp. You know, California wants to manage power outages with A.I. So they’re going to have A.I.

systems run our grid. I am telling you guys this right now. There is a Senate bill that I’m trying to look and see if it’s if it’s true or not, where they want to turn the palisades into affordable housing. That is tragic. That is sickening. That’s disgusting. Now, I understand you need affordable housing. But these poor people that lost their homes and thousands and thousands of homes, almost eight thousand homes were lost. And they they said that they’ve issued one hundred and forty one building permits. And Josh Altman was on TV yesterday screaming about this, which I’d love to talk to him soon, was talking about how I think this is exaggerate.

You know, just because you have a cleanup permit doesn’t mean you have a building permit. So it’s ridiculous, guys. This is being done at a snail’s pace. It’s being done to these people. These poor people are not getting that. So they’re going to manage power outages with A.I. So that if there’s too much activity on the grid, they’re going to be able to shut you off and turn it off. You know, the restaurants that in us, this is this has been a problem, guys, for a while. There’s a couple of good articles around there, you know, and, you know, before you walk in the place, they know about you.

I mean, I think that that’s weird. You know, and what if you want to try something new? You know, you’re not allowed to do that. So home sellers right now, this is kind of interesting. Home sellers are fed up and you’re starting to see more and more people. They’re just saying, forget it. Let’s take the home off the market. This right now is the home buying season. There are hot markets in the country. There are people that are selling their homes at a record pace. They’re getting stuff above us. And then there’s the people that they’re just languishing and sitting there and waiting and waiting and waiting.

And then have people walk in and piss on your decorating skills. OK. And tell you, Ray, why would you choose gray in your home? Crazy, guys. Absolutely lunacy. And people are getting fed up with it because they’re not getting the offers. And the offers that they are getting are too small. A few more things. I was having breakfast this morning with my son. And a nice man came up to tell me how much he loved the channel. His name was Victor from Arizona. He was there with his mom. And I truly appreciate every single one of you.

But Victor was a great guy. I want to say hi to Victor. And I want to clarify something I said in the last video. I just want to make sure I was clear about this. And that my friend owns a business. And he was the one that was basically almost the victim of sending a payment to the wrong vendor. You know, where I had inadvertently said that Bill dot com was hacked. No, it was the vendor that was hacked. And Bill dot com caught it before he sent the money to the wrong place. Seventy two thousand dollars, guys.

Could have gone to the wrong place. So if I wasn’t clear about that, I just want to make sure I was. So you’ve got to be careful of this stuff when it happens. A friend of mine skating wrote this horrible review about KFC of all places. I will never go back to look at how scrawny these chickens are. Look at how awful they are. Well, guess what, guys? They have a no refund policy now. Isn’t that crazy? No refunds at KFC. Not that it’s the healthiest chicken in the world. But that is wild, guys, that they’re not taking refunds.

The next thing is Ford. Ford has another think about this guy’s another six hundred and eighty four thousand cars just got recalled. Isn’t that wild, guys? Bronco sports, fuel leaks, guys that could cause fires. So this stuff has never ended. And when it comes to Ford, are these places going to make it? Are they going to be in business 10 years from now when you’ve got almost seven hundred thousand cars getting recalled at a time? I want to remind you that we have an email list and we send out emails a few times a month and you don’t want to miss those.

They’re always great. Put a personal video in there. The link is below to sign up for that. Make sure you’re part of it. We also have a private channel that you guys are flocking to right now. And I cannot thank you enough for that because it’s really, really taken off. But it’s everything uncensored and everything. We can’t talk about other places. It’s called I allegedly live. And I love doing the content for that. So please check it out. Go to I allegedly TV. Now, the last two stories are first one is it’s a wrap. Wrap it up.

You won’t be able to take it home. And that was I was like, what is this? Well, Tupperware. We talked about them filing bankruptcy, but hey, we’re going to pull ourselves out of it. No, they’re not. They have a 43 acre facility in Orlando, Florida, which is huge, guys. It’s prime real estate. They’re going to sell that. It’s done. Tupperware is finished. Now, here is the thing about this. You know, you cannot argue with Tupperware. When I was a kid, my mom would go to those parties and she’d always bring back really cool things to hold stuff and take my lunch to school.

And I was in elementary school and it was very, very cool. But now you’ve got all these knockoffs that are just as good in the sense that they work. Now, do they wear out faster? Do they stain faster? Yes, all that stuff. They’re not nearly the quality that we had with the Tupperware stuff, but they’re done, guys. And again, innovation changes things, but also makes things less expensive. But nothing lasts like it did before. I’m telling you, my mother, when she passed away with Tupperware that lasted her 20 years in her house and stuff she put photos in and things like that, I was like, wow, this is crazy.

A little iced tea container that was made out of the stick plastic. Now, back then, I don’t know if it was BPA free or anything like that. It’s probably what gave her the cancer that killed her. But anyways, I digress. Tupperware is done, guys. It’s sad. It’s a sad day. You know, Mary Kay, Avon, all these different things that we grew up with, they’re just not the same anymore, guys. You don’t have that stuff anymore. And oh, you want to earn a few bucks? My friend’s mother sold Mary Kay Cosmetics and she got the pink Cadillac.

I mean, we all made fun of her. You couldn’t pick another color you had to have pink. I deserved. I earned this Cadillac. So she sold a ton of cosmetics. We’d go over there and she had all those girthy gals over there putting on that makeup and looking in the mirror. And as kids, we’re like, it’s going to need a lot more than that. Anyways, I digress. Get sidetracked. Final, final story. And I love this one. The Biden administration came up with a wonderful idea of green postal vans and postal jeeps to carry mail. What a great idea.

They put ten billion dollars aside for thirty five thousand of these. OK, that sound great. I want you guys to understand that that was going to run two hundred and eighty five thousand dollar vehicle. Who wouldn’t in the car industry say, hell, I’ll make you the greenest of green cars for two hundred and eighty five grand federal government. Here you go. So think about that. Let me say it again. Ten billion dollars. It was going to cost just over two hundred and eighty five thousand dollars per vehicle. Only problem was they only made two hundred and fifty of these vehicles and the postal workers have written me and said that they’re crap.

And the last thing you need is to run out of fuel. An attorney that I know called me this morning says I cannot believe I have to go from court to the jail to see a client. And I forgot to charge my car last night. You know what I forgot to fill my car up last night with gas. You know what happened? It took five minutes a day to refill it or because my son’s in town. Hey, you know, freeloader. I said that in a loving way. Hey, freeloader, light. Go and fill my car up with gas.

And he was back in fifteen minutes. So needless to say, think about this. These cars, OK, have cost ten million dollars apiece for the federal government for those of you out there that don’t see the utter scam in all of this and how it is absolutely mind blowing how they were going to spend all this money to deliver the mail. OK, again, I don’t think the main man was in charge. I really don’t. I’m one of those people that thinks that we were absolutely hoodwinked and lied to and put off and everything. You know what I mean? So let me know what you think about this because I think it was absolute shenanigans.

So you have yourself to who drives a two hundred and eighty five thousand dollar car out there? Seriously, what are you doing? Seriously, what do you do that? You have a two hundred eighty five thousand dollar car, but you want to deliver the mail with that. Come on. What is wrong with you people? Seriously, what is wrong with people? Veterans are sleeping in the streets right now and you want to hiss money away like that. OK, I think I can say that on this channel. Anyways, please hit the like button. Please subscribe to the channel.

You want more ferocious attitude? Go to the private channel. OK, onward and upward, guys. Don’t take any crap from anybody. They will see you very soon. [tr:trw].
