Yeah I saw a whole thread about that last night. Somebody posted a screenshot of their email confirmation and the total was way higher than the ticket price. The fees were almost as much as the ticket itself. It feels like they wait until you're already excited and committed to hit you with the real cost.

That shift to sending things out is really interesting. Do you know if it's a cost thing, or maybe they just don't have the staff time for in-house repairs anymore?

Honestly that key sounds like a vote of confidence, not a burden. Sometimes people are just bad at asking for help directly, and a small favor lets them know you're trustworthy. Jumping straight to a formal ask can make a simple thing feel like a big deal. Letting it happen naturally builds way better community ties.

Maybe your grandpa just liked the ritual more than the actual taste. I mean, some habits are more about comfort than flavor. Could be he just enjoyed doing something his own way.

Yeah, and I bet half the time it's just the door seal going bad. People never check that first.
