Reply to multi unit mailbox key. by VoxBorealis

Your landlord should handle this. But if it's like mine and you still actually have the key but just want to re-key( because...what, a sketchy roommate?) It's super easy to do with the door open, hardly any tools required. If you lost the key however you're going to have to have the mailman leave it open, landlord does not have that key.

I know nothing about cricket but I have have seen large games of cricket being played at Laurel Hill in Secaucus. Those fields are really close to the Heights.

Reply to soup suggestions by jjvvllxx

Go to Newark Ave, park and head over to Shree Ganesh Dosa House. Order a Idli Sambar and enjoy. The sambar is a type of soup, its spicy and savory yet vegetarian/vegan and filling. On a cold day, sambar is superb.

Seems equivalent to the mindset that when people are made upset by someone with malicious intent, it's on the recipient, who should just not feel upset. In situations that warrant it, we call this victim blaming. Obviously in this analogous situation "victim" is not an appropriate word for the customer whatsoever, but the overall blame follows the same directionality.

Even if that is the case (it isn’t because the tips wouldn’t be going to the owner or whoever set up the system so idk why they would care) in either situation no one is “guilting” the customer - the cashier is just trying to complete the purchase and ring you up. 90% of the time I make a small purchase the barista seems embarrassed to have to swivel a tip screen for a small hot coffee because they also know it’s ridiculous to expect a tip but it’s required to close out the purchase.

If you’re buying something more complicated like multiple lattes or made to order food yes they probably expect a tip because you should be tipping atleast a buck or two in that scenario. It’s 100% projection that the barista/business is guilting you into tipping - if you feel guilty that’s on you.
