CWPM has been around for a long time. They still have several locations up the middle of the State and run multiple municipal transfer stations. Over the years I interacted most often with their Berlin location.

>Like pull the drivers out of the truck and beat them harassed.

Cite?

I work servicing the refuse industry and WM has been a major account for a long time.

The reason they left many spots in CT were because they were divesting themselves of unprofitable locations. This was the case with South Windsor, for example. Some places change hands multiple times, such as in Cheshire, MA where WM sold out to Republic who then sold out to Casella.

> In Central CT, trash collection is run by big companies like All Waste, but in Western CT, there's all those little trash collecting companies, and the corporate trash collectors can't get a foothold. I wonder why that is?

Don't worry, at the rate Casella and USA Hauling are buying everyone up, it's only a matter of time.

Big Y has always had a good supply.

At least you can still get your 99c refills with it at Cumbys!

I haven't been to a Dunkin Donuts once since they borked their rewards program.

Now we either go to Cumbys or I make it at home.

/r/dashcam is a good place for anyone to start their search.

Your call will be ignored in the order it was received.

Nice rant, except he didn't say anything about it being on a highway.

Last year I was at the front of a 3 car accident. Sitting at a stop, blinker on to make a left turn, guy behind me gets plowed into, subsequently hits me.

Had I had a rear-facing dashcam, the SECOND car would likely have been put partially as fault as well. He was tailgating me for miles before-hand, tried passing me on a double-yellow less than a mile before the accident, and was right up on my bumper when he hit me. Had he given proper spacing between stopped vehicles, I very likely would not have been hit at all.

I got lucky with that accident, my damage was all cosmetic while the other two cars were totalled.

Front AND rear-facing.

America was always intended to be the land of equal opportunity, not equal outcomes.

Maine potatoes > Idaho.

Hell, MA potatoes are really good as well. Szawlowski Farms in Hatfield, MA supplies much of the Big E every year.

Moscow, Idaho? I'll have to shoot my way up there.

Because the State is it's own distinct entity, recognized by the Constitution. This is part of the US being set up as a Representative Republic, not a Democracy.

So what, 3/5ths of a vote maybe? Democrats loved that in the past!

> Aside from that this sounds like some electoral college bullshit like “we want this 20% of the population to have 50/50 say with the other 80% because they choose to live in the woods.

How is that any different than the packed urban areas saying they should have a bigger seat at the table (via Popular Vote for President) because most of the country chooses not to live like sardines with them?

But what if I really want to try some Vkusno & Tochka?!

Back then it was. The stockroom was not always in the building however, in some cases things were shipped direct to the customer. The Green Stamps redemption store was the same way.

My father actually belonged to a membership version of one of these clubs in the 90s. You would pay this huge membership fee, then go into a location that was nothing but hundreds of catalogs on the walls. You'd pick out what you wanted, filled out an order form, and it was shipped to you.

Then Caldor, Service Merchandise and Steigers.

Besides the independents, LTL carriers such as Forward Air deal in automotive transport as well.

Someone else mentioned uship, they are on that platform as well.

I've used TD for years, it's convenient for me and they haven't done anything to piss me off yet. I also have accounts at a couple of national credit unions such as Penfed.

That one would be worth of /r/RoastMe.

I would use Louie down the alleyway downtown for my banking needs before I would true M&T for anything. There have been a mass of horror stories in /r/Connecticut about them ever since they took over.

Just over the border in Agawam, MA there is Yankee Mattress Factory. They've gotten a lot of good reviews over the years. They'll even adjust the upper layer if you aren't satisfied with the feel.
