There is such a function, although I'm not sure it allows you to rule out states other than the one you're in… It's usually used to disallow people from Nigeria and North-Korea to bid...
But, of course, you'd suppose the buyer would be able to read before looking into those options...
-
I suppose they should just expand or specify their options to include pickup/local only.

I'm currently in Los Angeles with my family on holiday (theme parks and stuff). The hotel we have is located near lots of chain restaurants so that is pretty much the choice for our breakfast and evening meal, so what the hell is the deal with the portion sizes !!!!
Every meal we are given so much food that we feel physically ill after eating, and we're leaving meals half eaten at that. I've been to the US many times, but this place and these restaurants are the first I have found that seem to think a share platter for 4 people is an acceptable portion for 1.

I dunno. I've gone to expensive restaurants that give appetizer sized entrees which kinda sucks. guess it depends where you go

I'm sure you noticed the appearance of much of the population in that area as well….. A good number of them have spent far too much time in those same chain restaurants. It's a bad combination when much of the population was raised to finish everything on their plate.

^about that… my wife pointed out something to me the other day about changes in patterns of food consumption. In Norway, they got frozen pizza for the first time in the late 80's and it was a Norwegian made piece of shit called Grandiosa with a cardboard base, rubbery cheese and some alleged, unidentifiable meat product on top. Despite being disgusting, it's still insanely popular today. The point is, one of those pizza's was a standard Friday night family treat way back then. So that works out at about 200gr. of pizza each for a famliy of four. The standard now is one whole pizza each at about 1250 calories.

@Megatron1505 I saw on IG you all stopped at IHOP…that is not American Dining, that is 'Murican Dining.
We are all just trying to Make Murica Great Again.
-
IHOP actually had one of the "saner" portions we have experienced. Our hotel restaurant portions are grotesque, a starter could feed my entire family comfortably.
-
Go back to your tiny little country and your tiny little meals, you wanker. Huge portions are what make America the envy of the planet.

Well when you dont consume 2,000 calories per day in beer you can eat more food.
Murica!

I have to consume extra here to make up for the ubiquitous weak beer that in my country would be considered as Shandy.
-
Since English food is inedible, and in small portions, the beer naturally needs to be more substantial. Otherwise you lot would be paler and more sickly looking than you are currently.

Boom^^^. Score one for team Murica!
-
Yes, your advances in grilled cheese and ground, processed meat products are the envy of the world ::)

You should be proud.

Technically, our grilled meat and processed cheese products are the envy of the world… -
We had one of those yesterday. Every time I hear an American make a disparaging comment about an English fried breakfast I am now going to laugh in their face
