YIPPEE AGAIN! Thank you

Confirmed there is NOT a parking ban: https://twitter.com/stephmachado/status/1630345579271159811?s=46&t=utUxe4KEu6Gg9DgUXGYs9Q

Is that 7 Eleven shut down now? All the crazy homeless people seem to hang out the other one, and I'd... hate to start going back over there

Armando’s

Yeah you're right! I took a look on google maps to see the building and mistook the lifespan tarp as an empty building.

Is sorrel the same thing as flor de jamaica? I’d try Good Fortune or Compare Foods/America’s Food Basket, both in South Providence. Used to be able to buy giant bags of the stuff. I could be entirely wrong though!

I'm just surprised that they actually did it. My wife would have killed to have worked at a place like that. Way too many repeat no tippers.

Unless self-storage is a colloquialism for single person apartments, this seems like a bad idea

The nonprofit suggestions so far are good. But I'm also a fan of "Buy Nothing" groups. Join your local group and offer them to neighbors.

Most buy nothing groups are hosted on Facebook, if that works for you. I joined my neighborhood group and have both given and revieved free items.

If I can remember I will post the story, correct she doesn't have to tip and correct the restaurant has the right to refuse service. This made the news and probably gave a negative light on the restaurant.

Pay attention to local elections folks… where decisions actually get made…. Biggest illusion out there is that federal government impacts our life the most hence deserves all the coverage and dollars… didn’t always used to be like that either…

I semi-seriously wonder how long it will be before we start seeing some of these self-storage complexes getting converted into bargain-basement housing.

This headline is the biggest fucking blueball bonanza I've ever read.

"Providence approves" - Yes?

"5-story" - YES?

"1,400 unit" - YESSSS?????

"self-storage complex" - Fuck you, developer

You forgot parking lots. And empty vacant lots.

That's basically going to be half the downtown of American cities soon ... self-storage units and parking lots (car storage units).

And it’s not illegal to tell a lady to gtfo either.

Hate to agree with you but yeah. Developers don’t go into something to lose money.

Not to start a whole fight about tipping but that's not exactly illegal is it?

She's an Asshole, absolutely. But tipping isnt required and she paid the bill.

I tip generously because I worked service and retail, but wish we'd do away with it and pay living wages.

Anyway, it's a Private business though, so if they want to ban, they can.

Speaking of getting rid of stuff… buy nothing groups!

One time the email didn’t go through until the next day. 🙄 (but since we are all actually checking the news this fine evening, I think we are in the clear today.)

It's artificial, right there in the name. Disliking fake content seems like a sane human opinion. Much like spam and robocalls.

4D chess: Rent storage unit and rent it out via AirBnB.

My aunt had a nice home once. Then my uncle passed away and her idea of downsizing was to move somewhere smaller and keep everything that was in her big house and just move it into 4 storage units.

Jesus. The first part had me like “yay more housi…” then I see the rest and I’m like “really?! Storage?”

If it makes you mad it's all worth it
