CrowdStrike, the cybersecurity firm that crashed millions of computers with a botched update all over the world last week, is offering its partners a $10 Uber Eats gift card as an apology, according to several people who say they received the gift card, as well as a source who also received one.
On Tuesday, a source told TechCrunch that they received an email from CrowdStrike offering them the gift card because the company recognizes "the additional work that the July 19 incident has caused."

Well, a gift card that's been cancelled might be even cheaper.

We just ate at a Mexican restaurant where we had a $50 off $100 or more coupon. We saved more money by skipping the $14 margaritas and $12 desserts and just paid $46 for fajitas and quesadillas with no coupon.

Dang, I remember when those places used to be the "cheap lunch" spots. Like when you can't even afford taco bell you go to the family-owned place downtown.

In 2004 we had a Mexican lunch spot that ran $2 lunch specials (when most lunches ran $6 to $10 in the neighborhood.) We had to "correct" some engineers who thought they should still tip 15% to the waitress who brought endless chips and salsa and kept the drinks full.
Still, the big plate of flaming fajitas with shrimp and steak has never been cheap.
