Reply to comment by pixel_of_moral_decay in Downtown Pharmacy Closing at 52 Essex Street by TheMikri
I’m very aware of this (the issue he was rude as fuck with me on was my PBM Caremark CVS told me one thing, and I guess he hadn’t read the updated memo yet and refused to even break from looking at the computer typing away and just repeating the same thing over and over clearly not actually listening. He definitely had the ‘fuck humans fuck retail’ robot vibe going on to a dangerous level). The number of retail chain pharmacists I know that are burnt the fuck out from their jobs is also crazy, considering not too long ago it was a prestigious path that may well end up lucrative when you build or buy your own shop (that doesn’t really happen today).
It’s almost like making mega corporations have negative effects on our actual lives if competition isn’t allow to thrive. Where are those capitalist bootlicker fuckers from the other thread that said supply and demand without constraints solves everything? It’s almost like too much horizontal or vertical integration mainly results in dystopia

Serious UGH that makes me feel like an old man yelling at the wind, but one of the pharmacists at the newer CVS on Grand/Hudson was so flipping rude and demeaning to me that I'll never go back there. I get that being a CVS retail pharmacist sucks, but like c'mon man.

They build it up so it was the glittering night jewel of modernity, with the large theaters & movie palaces, visible from the brand spakin new interstate on your way to the brand new tunnel to NYC. Car culture's overlayed on our DNA in some ways.

I assume first issued post prohibition? Nice! Now I'm wondering if they still number that way, and if I can see a list (even though the oldest liquor licenses probably aren't at the same physical location today, as they allowed them to move sometime in the 80s or 90s rather than be chained to a location)

Yeah, I had never heard of it either!
I think the Rolan>>Keyhole thing is something to think of, if it's the same spot same liquor license does it count. This is why I was asking because NYC has various shades of answers, like longest at current location, longest operating (but moved a few times), ect ect.

"Say hello to what might be Jersey City's oldest bar." I mean yeah I guess.
But downtown's oldest bar probably isn't actually that old, couldn't be right? It's probably something like Barge Inn or Keyhole?

Last time I was there, the men's dress shirt bin summed it up for me- sizes with any sort of known label like Brooks Brothers were either very small or very big (or ripped/stained), meaning people are poaching the average sizes on the bell curve assumedly for resale. Anything fun & flashy is long gone (the Hawaiian Shirt bin had the most disappointingly tasteful color palette)
I pay a bit more going through ebay, but alot of the hobby/Gary V zombie resellers want to flip stuff quick. If you add something to your watch list you'll often get a 20-50% off special offer from the seller within a few days, those sorta trick to game the system. I don't like paying a premium, but setting up ebay alerts with keywords & sizes I guess makes finding exact hits for me better.

I've given up on Five Guys as the average quality varies so dang much.
The average quality of Shake Shack seems to have higher standards regularly enforced, but it's still a chain.

I'm sorry, but neo hippy spiritualism is a bedrock of the community. Visit one of the several crystal shops on Newark Ave to find out more.
Also if anywhere would be haunted by trauma ghosts it's that hospital.

One case example I've heard of: Drug APIs or consumer goods input on chain of custody, so in dealing with opaque countries like China there is a publicly acknowledge dispersed ledger resistant to tampering.

Are you talking at me? You do seem to have confused a pithy comment about the wealthy and powerful getting a blank check to do whatever they choose around here to great benefit & profit, with ignorance about ‘economic models’ or something.

I mean they do have a point, and the whole reason of this thread is that the DOJ is smelling a conspiracy to raise prices laundered through the wash of a third party consultant algorithm that everyone happens to use to set similar skyrocketing prices. But also yes haggling at fast food vibes

Are they doing all the other stuff by the book, like storing it in an interest bearing account at a bank they tell you? Do you get the interest either yearly by check or a report on the amount? Many to most don't, bringing up these as questions may show you know your legal rights better than they think.
They can ask, but it's a bit weird to "top off" your deposit every year when they raise the rent. I've never once had that happen across many years of renting, big & small outfits.
