Brigg's and Peckham's are both great options! Also there are quite a few facebook groups aimed at selling plants as well! A few groups I know are Plant BST: Rhode Island and Rare + Unusual Plants BST New England!

Andreozzi actually got fired from Sarto. Believe there were allegations of various flavors of typical toxic white male in power stuff. Have to imagine it was pretty bad if they cut ties with him after promoting his relationship there so hard. There was a court case filed about it . I think he opened Marvin because he couldn't get work anywhere else. Too bad, so many other great, non-toxic chefs in this city.

I've submitted around 8 so far within the last 12 months. 1 resolved, the other 7 have been sitting there for months without a comment except for the generic one they usually post.

I agree Providence and Rhode Island don't make it easy to figure out who to report these hazards to.

I can just give you some cuttings. I have some rooted monsteras and I need to cut back my pothos and philandendron plants. Let me know!

she did accept the mail, and after seeing me a few more times, stopped pressing me. but always this vibe that I was inconveniencing her and her business. talking down to me like a child, stuff like that. my whole demeanor changed when I had to go into that place. I went from chipper to sullen when I got to that address. anyways, now I eat at Providence bagel :))

I’ve submitted a few requests and had them responded to within 24 hours personally. I think it’s very much worth trying. OP doesn’t indicate who they “complained” to either, so my guess is they’re complaining to the wrong person or department.

when I approached here, she did not believe I was a carrier. (we don't get the gear til after our first 90) i had my keys, scanner, hat, other stuff that might tip someone off that I was legit. but she really pressed me on it. i stayed polite and told her that all I needed was a signature. she said I was disturbing her while she was trying to run her business and some other stuff I can't remember now. what I do remember is feeling awful walking out of there.

The bagel place is on an 'auxiliary route' . these routes are usually smaller than a normal usps route and are sometimes given to newbies in their 'first 90'. I was doing my thing, first month or so with usps, and I had some express mail for her that required a signature. so I had to go into the shop and ask where she was. the staff pointed her out, and she looked pretty busy. (morning rush and all that) so I waited patiently until she was done.

If you have any friends who have houseplants, it's just a matter of time until one of them will be happy to give you cuttings that you can root and grow. Buy soil and pots at Job Lot. Avocado pits are instant houseplants. Look online for how to grow one.
