Reply to comment by Locksmith-Pitiful in Ceremony Tea Employees Hit With Racist Customer by Locksmith-Pitiful
Racist comments are never ever ok but also… how did this customer sit there for 4.5 hours and mooch hot water for free from the workers and nobody on the staff said anything? If someone is hanging out in a business and not consuming, the staff has every right to ask the customer to leave.
Also what’s wrong with calling people “white”, Caucasian actually just means something else, there’s a whole region in Asia called the Caucasus. The term Caucasian is linked to the word Mongoloid, which we also don’t use anymore.

Hey! Sent you a dm as well, but highly recommend checking out some of the opportunities with the Governors Workforce Board. They have tons of training / apprenticeship programs specifically targeted towards in-demand skills that can get you up-skilled and in a good paying job pretty quickly

That would be a great way to get to know the area and make money while doing it. Thanks!

I doubt they are paying dishwashers $20 an hour

Right
This has always been considered a CityState
So I guess we're just all Rhode Islanders

I know you're trying your best for Grover. I love Frenchies, lost my Boston this past Dec.
French Bulldogs are the most stolen breed right now.

Their popularity has exploded in the past 5-10 years. A man got murdered trying to sell one via craigslist in South Carolina.
I would talk to PARL. If you want, I can talk to FOHA (Friends of Homeless Animals, they specialize in smaller breeds). In either case, the adopter will pay a fee (not cheap) and by vetted. That Grover's best shot.
Sorry to be a Debbie Downer. I know your heart's in the right place.

Skyline at Waterplace got $1.5 million in free restaurant relief money, and $350,000 in forgiven PPP “loans”. And they’re still on this list because they owe back taxes.

This state is small. We're all Rhode Islanders. There are no Cranstonians or Pawtucketucks, or Woonsockites.

Not surprised at Gracie’s/Ellie’s. They had filed for bankruptcy during the pandemic.

Damn it's been a while since I took the bus. When I was in highschool, there were bus schedules that displayed which busses went through that stop at every stop that had bench/enclosure. But that is getting close to 20 years ago now.

Thanks for the advice. (speaking of doing me dirty, they laid me off once in the past but I returned a few years later) I do love my job but being an art director/graphic designer I can do my job remote, assuming I can find a remote position. The local area I'm in isn't great for my field.
I would definitely rent before buying to get a lay of the land/lifestyle.

This is the one. Also, restaurant business. I know Durks bbq was hiring kitchen staff (no experience required) starting at 20 an hour and you could work your way up from dish washer to whatever you wanted. I'm sure there are many examples

Some college or?
I'm thinking,
Food Service, like bartending or server. Depending on where you go can be pretty lucrative.
Whole foods, I worked there years ago but it was pretty good. they pay more than the competition but I donno if it's still true.
Maybe you could work for one of the hospitals or schools? You got brown, risd, several private schools etc.
Me personally, I have some college and I work for the T and commute. Lots of opportunities in Boston if your interested in commuting

Cool. That's what they posted on their Instagram story when they were hiring a while ago. Just relaying that message.
