I mean, shouldn't people be protesting police committing yet another extrajudicial murder of a black man in this country? You should be more appalled if there weren't any protests.

It's "woke" and a "riot" to oppose extrajudicial murder now?

I love living in Providence but it did take me some time to adjust. I moved from NY-MA-RI and at that time I did not appreciate the slower pace. As I’ve gotten older it is the thing I love the most about it. Going back to visit my old hometowns is nice but I can’t really deal with how packed things are in bigger cities (traffic, parking, finding places to eat, etc). I like the food, the friends I’ve made, activities. Occasionally I do wish we had more things to see/attend (like concerts) BUT we live close enough to other states where it is not a deal breaker. I am now patiently waiting for Spring/Summer because that is when I think this state thrives the most.

You're not wrong, but TJ's opened what 2/3 months ago? They had to have been in rough shape already if 3 months of competition has driven them to this

I don't know honestly but oh well lol

This is exactly the place that came to mind when I saw this thread. The tip jar totally threw me as the only place I've seen here outside of a food/drink establishment lately.

I think people are reading more into the tone of "not in the woke circle" than was implied

I had forgotten all about the "Providence Purge"! Thank you for the chuckle.

The time before was him too. The time before that? Also him. Dude was late to the one night it actually happened and he's been chasing it ever since.

Next time bring exact change. Less work for them that's the tip

The last time there was a rumor of pre-planned riots it was a hoax promoted by right-wing radio host John DePetro.

I've heard a rumor that at other stadiums people have asked if the tip actually goes to the workers and some outright say skip it, it doesn't. So worth asking the staff if you're gonna tip at a massive stadium anyways.

lol yes I'm aware in a normal society riots are not in fact planned however... its 2023. things are not normal anymore. thanks for flyer info tho.

lol why did you get so many downvotes?

already did.

General insults toward someone that isn't even on the sub won't get you banned, but sure, let's go with that.

TBH, $50k is going to go nowhere for them. They are in trouble.

I’d call that a distinction without much of a difference

Oh word you gonna be there as well. I'll make sure to have milk and cookies ready. Oatmeal or chocolate chip?

Probably your house. Maybe your living room.

It wasn't planned to be a riot, It was organized looting.

Yes, we old him, "yes, please." It's not even a place someone would tip another and we both thought it was just strange especially they were using a church lot as a profitable parking lot during events.

Yup! So if it’s 1.50, I just give .50. A dollar feels like too much 🤷🏻‍♀️

So far your response has been the best in understanding the subject matter. Its not about tipping itself just the least place you would expect to see this practice.

I purchased books from Symposium a while back when they first opened but now I am aware of this scrupulous practice
