Wow sometimes brevity is so revealing. It’s almost like you feel entitled!

But see, all over this sub and even in this thread, people are pretty willing to separate the art from the artist for a guy but not for a woman. You say you do and then you put a “but” right after go negate everything you just said. The food must be good if it’s getting this recognition. She has two teams working at two places so there’s that too, people work with/for her and if she was the worst, she wouldn’t be able to put together a team. I’ve heard bad things about many many other chefs this sub loves. So in my view there is clearly a double standard and as other commenters have pointed out, it comes off sexist. As a woman I am bothered.

Ultimately I don’t know how “high stakes” the world of bagels might be to drive this lady into batshit insanity. Maybe we see it happen and everyone can have a laugh. But the title of this thread and the interest it has generated makes me think she’s winning the game on the haters.

Thank you, I feel a lot better for having turned away a young woman who rang my bell and interrupted my work day - I felt so bad because i was sure she was under pressure to sell and someone had probably sold her a bill of goods over how great the money would be. I told her "I'm in middle of my work day I can't talk now" and she said "Is there a better time to come back?" I just said "No, sorry." I could have been nicer and said "it's just not in my budget now" or something like that but she caught me off guard. I hope she gets a real job where she can make some real money soon.

House the homeless but NOT IN MY BACKYARD am I right

Everyone wants to help, but “NIMBY”? Also, those of us that have been here a while know it wasn’t that long ago that the whole Armory neighborhood was like that. Now the gentrifiers are upset that it’s slightly like it used to be.

All of this.

Just a shout out for Nueva Era on Cranston for produce as well.

Gigantic fricken carrots, etc at a quarter of the price. They grind and butcher meats right in front of you per order.

It's in a rough spot, no doubt but many don't realize there are 2 or 3 parking spots literally right in front of the store that are often vacant.

Back of the house you need to know a little Spanish but the cashiers and managers are all kind people willing to help any patron who walks in.

For only 2 aisles, they have everything as far as non perishables as well.

And the back of the store is a cafeteria spread with Dominican food.

One of the best kept secrets in Providence. Just don't use the traditional word "bolsa" when asking for a bag. They use "funta" to say shopping bags. They use bolsa as a word for a ballsack. Speaking from experience here. 😂

The Armory is an abject disaster. Cramming hundreds of vulnerable and/or dangerous individuals into one space, with virtually no support or structure is going exactly how anyone with a modicum of common sense think it would go. Whoever was responsible for this awful, half baked solution to a difficult and complex issue should be both ashamed and held responsible. And that’s not even beginning to take into account the issues it has caused for the surrounding neighborhood

Edit: And you are absolutely correct, a fair number of them do have places to live.

If I tell you they’d be more ppl there

La mei would be fun! Scorpion bowls, baijiu, sichuan peppercorns

We’ve got the same problem but hanging a no soliciting sign (you can print one from online) helped a lot. A couple times we’ve still gotten knocks or door bell rings but now we politely point to the sign and say no thanks! Agreed it’s super annoying!

Salon if you want dancing, hot club is a decent spot.

>You’re paying for skill, not time. You know that, right?

It doesn't matter. Consumers care about the bottom line. They don't care about what's behind it.

Oh! So I worked for these shitbags back when the sold alarm systems under the name alliance security, and previously vms alarms. They were dealers for monitronics and safe home security. The owners name is jay gorta, and him and his team of career sleezeballs including brian fabiano, john hull and barry crins have been flim flamming for the last 15 years. There were several sec lawsuits for terrible sales practices; lots of us were contacted by us attorneys about it. State and fed dnc violations, fraud, obtaining full hard credit pulls using accurint, which they werent supposed to have access to in the first place. Pitching everything free then saddling the customer with YEARS of debt and headache. The bbb does nothing, your best option is to talk to the attorney general. Their current biz model is absurd, they get these young money hungry guys, GAS them up and get them to sell 50-100% above market price. Last I heard they were starting at $6 a watt. The company wont do anything; they encourage the behavior you described. "fuck em, knock harder." Good luck dude.

I used to love going to The Grange for brunch. Thank you for this info

Hell Yeah. Thanks Dude

Agreed. I was one of the original when they opened. One time they said “you’re wearing… that?” in regard to my perfectly normal outfit so that was fun.

Grange is the worst spot I’ve ever worked, in regards to how the staff was treated. Killer food though.

I miss the general tso tacos and tofu benedict so much!

Yesssss I loved their breakfast burrito!

I’ve been getting HAMMER called by Bright Solar, from shifting numbers, for weeks, no matter how many times I’ve told them I’m not interested at this time. What finally took was “I’m interested, but not from your company, since you’ve shown you clearly can’t listened.” Caller got offended, but no calls since

I do not understand this business model. It's a sure fire way to make sure that I never buy your product

The oyster po boy too

Moonshine alley, the black sheep, sport and leisure

who dances in the avery?
