Did you know Payless car rental company placed tracking devices in their rental cars? Yes it is true, but here is the kicker, if you leave the state you rented the car in, you could be penalized one dollar a mile for leaving the state...Not a dollar for every mile outside the state... Every mile you drove the car, period! One Couple in California was billed over 1300 dollars in two days for driving to Reno NV, and when they said they never drove to Reno, Payless presented them with a printout showing where and when they left California..This is not the first time this has happened Acme rental car company fined a driver 450 dollars for exceeding the speed limit three times...Read the small print Big brother is watching!

I opened an email today, it read something like this "do you allow workers to review their own restaurants? Because I found a restaurant where the chef wrote the review". Ok the answer is no! We do not allow former or present workers to post reviews for the restaurant they work for or worked for in the past, the reasons are obvious. Who is going to give their own restaurant a bad grade? If you were fired there is a good chance you may try to slam the restaurant, so to avoid this we do not allow these type of reviews.....Well how do we know it was posted by an employee? We don't know we just hope you will be honest in you postings! However if you are not being honest you can rest assure that if someone from your competition reads the review and recognizes your name they will email us, and they do!
