Our first one from rick who emails i am receiving three different magazines that i didnt order. Do i have to pay for these . If you didnt order them you dont have to pay. The magazines think you did order them. You probably ticked off somebody or they are just mean people. Magazines are used to dealing with this. Kind of weird.

Im glad you asked that question. Most counties have a reverse 911 system. If they want you to shelter in place or get out of your home and run then they give you a call. Here is the problem. Cell phone lines arent on it and neither are voice lines. However, you can sign up. All you do is go to your local county to the department of emergency services. And then all of them here in the bay area have that sign up. So all you do is give your phone number you want them to call and they will call you. And a restaurant i went to charges customers tips on takeout orders. Is that legal . Depends on how they do it and how they pay taxes on it. They can add any charges they want as long as you know it before you buy the item. So, for instance. Youll sometimes see at the bottom of a menu they will say more than eight people we have a charge. Its got to be large enough for you to read. You have to know they are going to do it. If they do it that way its no longer a tip. Its a service charge. And then the restaurant has to pay taxes on it and so does the server have to pay taxes on it. So its still there but they are allowed to do it. You have to know before you buy. Thank you.
