“ One should not polish his shoes on the day that he is planning to travel”

Does that include the night before ?
Jews ≠ Zionists
Palestinians ≠ Hamas
Satmar ≠ SatmarHQ

I would imagine that it is similar to lo yishamesh mituso which is only that day.

The bars have an OU and sometimes they relyon opinions we don't hold by. I know our LOR said not to use potato chips w/ OU due to the oil for example..

So therefore you will ask people who you have no idea whether they have the same standards as you for their opinion?

It's cute that you think that there is little uniformity amongst Jews. A shaila usually produces information from various parties to help make an informed decision.

You get a like for your sarcasm though ;)

Agree with aygart. Only person to ask is the rabbi upon whose standards you're operating.

its a big machlokes from I remember when I was there. Reb Scheinberg held that they should say ותן ברכה and in middle of שמע קולינו you should say some nusach that has in it ותן טל ומטר. I forgot the exact nusach but there was always a sign up by תורה אור what he held to say

It's cute that you think all of us would ask "shailas" here and rely on the responses. Just a place to gather information...and kvetch if you're unable to answer possibly. Food is posted here all the time for sale so it's not crazy to think that the people that (might) eat it know something regarding what's in it or how it's made.

You are dealing with a standard that you don't even know what it is too explain it other than that your rabbi said not to eat ou cups because of the oil. Was it a specific brand? What about other ou items which contain oil such as mayonnaise?

As they say in the South bless your heart. He said no OU potato chips at all...i'm just not one to wholly exclude any heksher is all (i.e., for other types of food). And thanks for trolling me on various forums ;)

I am trying to get a picture of what you are looking for. Are you sure it is because of the oil? What about mayonnaise?
