Reply to Starbucks job as a minor with no experience? by Hot-Championship-848

Just want to throw this out there, but one of my first jobs as a teenage around your age was a local hardware store. Places like Ace, or other local places, hire young people all the time and I learned SO much that helped me later on in life. It was honestly one of the most valuable jobs I ever had, and I often think how I want to work at one again when I retire one day. Don’t be intimidated if you don’t know too much, they will train you to help people. Just a thought!

That’s a common occurrence in Hampden, unfortunately. I’ve been ignored or yelled at way too many times.

On the other hand, I saw the local drug abusers walking down the middle of Union Ave tonight (in the road) and cars were (understandably) honking at them. They then proceeded to cuss all the cars out — despite being in the wrong. They were both clearly really high, but the drug users in Hampden make me really frustrated.

We did not sign a monthly lease. We became so after making our home here for an average of ~12 years. I understand where we stand, but that doesn’t mean that a company can come in and ignore laws (which we have evidence of). This is gentrification, and we realize this isn’t a unique situation. But it stings a bit to be a part of a community that defines its character, and then to be priced out. All for the profits of a developer that will contain to whitewash every trendy neighborhood.

I don’t understand, you signed up for a lease that is only valid for 30 days, but now you’re mad that the lease is going up at the end of the 30 days and you can’t stay longer?

I’m not sure I grasp what the “greedy” company has done wrong. They gave you until the end of your lease to leave, that isn’t “strong-arming” you, that’s typically how leases work - you’re free to leave and the owner is free to have their space back. So I’m not sure what legal action could be taken against the developer, given you signed a contact that was specifically not for longer than 30 days.
