“Dear PoPville,

We had bottomless brunch drinks + entrees at Easy Company and they added a 5.00% surcharge, plus a 20.00% tip and then taxed the whole bill with that additional 25.00%. Something about that seems really wrong…”


“Dear PoPville,

I haven’t seen a post in the forum recently (years maybe?) about how/where to buy a used car in DC, especially since the used car market changed so much during Covid. My wife and I are looking to buy our first (used) car since 2008 and we are fish out of water. Would love to get some tips from the community.”

“Dear PoPville,

I was wondering if people had thoughts on a DC jeweler for general cleaning of engagement rings, inspection for issues and small repairs like tightening the posts on the setting. We’ve been here a long time and still can’t find a jeweler that takes less than a month for a general cleaning/inspection. Worse is that most shops don’t seem to want to take minor repairs on something they didn’t sell.”
