Damn you FRY… I want another safe employee of the month certificate… I’m willing to bet that if you were to contact someone at Praxair with your issue, we would have a Safety off the job flyer distributed. You can only run on the same 105 acre lot for so long before you need to branch out. What really grinds my gears is how non-Praxair people drive. ---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ---------- > [@LowlyOilBurner](#): > > Still over paying for those welding supplies. ?? What does that have to do with Mighty taco or some guy running across the road? I will add that I went to Might taco on Monday for lunch and there were many Praxair employees there. Just look for the people that are dressed slightly better than the typical “business casual” and feel free to lodge a complaint about the lines, prices, or how they spend their leisure time. ---

Fry if I have to sit through a how to cross the street training seminar I will be very upset. I do agree with how non employees drive. There is a ton that fly through that driveway and also there is some people who park in the front that do at least 30mpg through the roadway. ---

Word. I was almost hit the other day around lunch time while minding my own business at a crossing. Also, Tailgate deli has a decent deal on sanwiches if you choose not to wait at mighty. A cajun turky with chips and can of pepsi runs ~$7.50 Be weary of terrible service though. They will ask you if you enjoyed it before you leave and possbly say pleas and thank you should the situation arise. ---

I was going to report one person but they were a visitor and didn’t get any info on them as they were on a cell phone and almost took out two of us crossing in the cross walk. ---

an older gentleman crossed a green at 12:27 today, wearing a blue sweatshirt and shorts! I’ll be the safety police, don’t worry guys. I do however believe the guy at Sunoco is EXTREMELY friendly. He’s gotta be up to something. People just aren’t always that friendly. I haven’t seen the tailgate deli drvnk but I’ll keep an eye open for it, thanks… Is it usually pretty busy there as well? Like I said though, I hardly ever go out being a cheapass. Today I left my lunch on the counter so I had no choice! =) I’m always polite at restaurants, especially when nobody can see the food being prepared 😛 > [@boxxa](#): > > Fry if I have to sit through a how to cross the street training seminar I will be very upset. I do agree with how non employees drive. There is a ton that fly through that driveway and also there is some people who park in the front that do at least 30mpg through the roadway. So ya just turn your head when a praxair folk does 30MPG through the roadway? ---

Its never really busy, but you will have to wait a few minutes for them to make your sandwich. Its in the plaza behind Mighty, closer to the aquatic center driveway. ---

The same could be said for pedestrians that just walk out into roads expecting traffic to yield to them. All it takes is a person driving a car to look down, be distracted for a second, even sneeze and if it is in that exact time that someone decides to walk out into traffic, it is kind of game over for the pedestrian. Kind of like the cyclists that like to ride right on the white line, they want you to respect them like a car, except most of them do not obey traffic laws like they should. ---

I give most cyclist zero respect. They are as dumb or dumber than cagers. If you want to be treated like a car, act like one. No running stop signs, intersections, crossing double yellow etc… When I ride a bicycle, motorcycle, or drive a car, I expect nothing from idiots in cars. They are not to be trusted ever. That being said, I ride a bicycle like an ass hat doing all the things I listed unless traffic prevents it. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/why-on-earth/217725.md?page=1)
