Just a quick reminder that if you want to take part in the East Nashville Neighborhood Watch’s “Crime Prevention Meeting”, then you should show up at Drifters today from 11AM – 12:30PM. We’re still not sure what crime they’ve ever prevented – but if you want to sit around while MNPD officers watch you eat a burger and drink a beer on a weekday during lunch, then this is the place you want to be. Also, you get the pleasure of meeting the captain of the neighborhood pink posse ,…

East Nashville Trash Collectors: Modern Day Tip Mafia
They know where you live. They know what you discard. They know what you’ve bought lately, and if they were the trashmen of yesteryear they could make big cash money by providing this info to crooks on the side (“The Smith house on 12th St just got 3 x 55″ TVs – i picked up the boxes”). Once a year, they leave mysterious ‘cards’ with their names and personal addresses on them every holiday season – and expect you to leave or mail them a tip for doing their job,…
Postmates: Remote Order Support – Behind The Scenes
This story isn’t ‘directly’ related to East Nashville – but rather for the Postmates that work in East Nashville. We came across this information from another tipster who still works within the Postmates infrastructure, and wanted to shed some light on how one group within the new startup operates – and why Postmates do some of the things they do – these are the folks that can make or break a Postmate’s day. Meet Remote Order Support Group. These folks are not Customer Service, or Job Support, but rather the…
Nashville Postmates Uncensored: How they really feel about you, your tips and the restaurants – & Community Manager Andre Moore
Sometimes we just have to wonder what Nashville Postmates manager Andre Moore was thinking when he hired/approved some of these folks to be Postmates. As their community manager, even if he didn’t have a direct role in making the final decision – he has observed this behavior over and over and they remain in the good graces of Postmates. Imagine seeing or hearing your employees or contractors under you making disparaging comments about customers, the merchants, and constantly complaining about tipping, and making a habit of declining orders and getting…
Nashville Postmates: The Stoner’s Delight – Funny Texts Edition!
While our local team of do-gooders at the Nashville Postmates recently took some heat for passing along restaurant tip surcharges of 20% to it’s customers and still expecting a tip of their own (more on how they feel about tips tomorrow) – while telling the merchants they were absorbing the costs within the company – the actual delivery drivers themselves – the ones that you and I would interact with, are just your normal group of fun-loving individuals. We’ve read over months of communications given to us by a former…
UPDATED: Pharmacy Burger vs. Postmates: Round 1, Fight!
UPDATED: The Pharmacy Burger management have responded to our post, stating that Postmates management actually suggested the 20% gratuity – but assured them they would eat the cost and NOT pass it on to the customer. Which is not the case, it is clearly being pass along on the receipts. UPDATE #2: As of 7PM Today, the fee has been removed by The Pharmacy Burger! Way to be the team player here, and take care of your customers. Unlike Postmates who in this case, lied to everyone about eating the…
UPDATED: $50 for a Cheesecake? Is that even legal, Mandy’s Munchies?
UPDATED: We have received an update that the TN DOH is having the local Davidson County Health Department look into Mandy’s Muchies, we’ll update when we receive more information. Previously: Mandy’s Munchies – Send us your tips! $50 for a Cheesecake? We did a triple-take, but yes, that’s what the sign says. You might think you’re in some small boutique in New York with over-inflated rent and insurance and employees and all that comes with it to justify those prices – but you’d be wrong. There isn’t even a storefront, there…
Jenny Obert Responds: “You’re like the Onion, only better!”
Previously, we told you about how Jenny Obert left her boyfriend home alone, and while he was there, he essentially got taken for the cash in his skinny jeans pockets by some folks that offered to haul away junk for free, then demanded payment once it was on the truck. Instead of saying ‘No’ or blowing his rape whistle, or calling the cops, he ponied up the cash, and called it a day to avoid confrontation. Jenny stayed silent on the matter – only saying that if she had been…

East Nashville “Crime Prevention” Meeting & Meet Neighborhood Watch Captain Bob Acuff
We’ve had enough ride-share entertainment for this week, and have nearly 20 similar ones in the tipbox in case it’s a slow news day anytime soon – so let’s get back to the real ‘East Nashville’ business… you know the kind… where we like to pretend we’re in control of everything, and nothing happens in the neighborhood without both our knowledge AND approval? yea, that stuff. That can only mean it’s time to talk about the weekly ‘East Nashville Crime Prevention’ Meeting (known as the CPM to those in the…
