lol, seriously, but unlike any other business, the library employees get paid the same whether they are crappy or excellent.

"Yeah, I screwed up, yeah, I could have done better, but I'm real proud of what I did."

Hardly a ringing endorsement...

Not impressed with the scheme, nor anyone who shells out 5k for this.
5k could go a long, long way to address serious issues.
Don't be a sucker, do something that won't line some con-artist's pocket.

ok, as far as the 7-11 on 17th and Market...
I have to say that I'm impressed with what they have done to quell the ridiculous level of panhandling, loitering, drug and alcohol use on their property.
They have cleaned up the trees and shrubs on the west side of the building, which was a haven for loitering, increasing the visibility.
They have lit up the back side of the building like a Christmas tree.
They have the dumpster area locked up, which was a latrine at best, a frequent drug usage cubbyhole at worst.
So, seriously, thanks to the input from the community, they have stood up and done their very best to address the major issues.
Thanks for that, and continue to apply pressure upon the property owners who have yet to address these kinds of issues.

Well, I've got one that'll be closed...sort of.
There are closer ones that are open, perhaps someone will point us to it.

Ah, in support of mom, I will say that banks that have this level of customer service, generally have doggy treats. Shameful, because doggy doesn't understand that EVERY WINDOW DOESN'T HAVE TREATS!...lol
You guys are just setting a very bad example, now we expect it everywhere, do you not understand the harm???
Sorry, it was for mom.

Yeah, incredible responsibility from a bank. They should be rewarded with a lot of support from the community.
Sounds like a good place to work and bank.
Somebody ought to forward this story to those *ss-hats at Chase...

That's how I'd planned to get around that darn bag tax. "No thanks, I'll just be taking this here cart" ;-)

well, the committee has to get together, they have to agree that it's not useful, they have to agree to remove it, and some time after the environmental impact statement...on to new business...
What was the reason for the meeting???

Hopefully, before a child dies, folks will realize that it's not worth the few seconds that they think they are saving.
No second is worth it.
Again, relax, enjoy your auto.
At least for as long as they are allowed to exist....

Yes, that would be a tax. No, I wouldn't agree.
Suppose they said, "You cannot use plastic bags in the course of business anywhere in the city."
Good, because I don't.
Like they said, 'You cannot use poly-styrene clam shell to go containers anywhere in the city."
Good, because I don't.
Like they said, "You cannot use 'trans-fats', sell anything that contains 'trans-fats' or have any 'trans-fats' on your premises"
Good, because I don't.
Maybe, you get the picture.
Some of us are well ahead of the curve, and despise paying taxes for those who aren't.
You can quote me.

Well, Edog, we are overwhelmed with 'out of town' influence. This is hardly the first, or the last.

You have made a good point, with a clever pun. A+

I keep cleaning their bags out of the bushes, reusable bags?
Yeah, right. These 'poor' people keep being mislabeled anyhow.
