Reply to White Subaru stealing Amazon packages in Providence. by NeedleworkerNo6631

I see a lot of houses with signs for Amazon or other deliveries to go in the back.

Another option is the UPS store on Parsonage (probably other locations/services too) - it's $20 a month for a mailbox and you can receive packages there. When you pay for a year or 2 years up front you get a couple extra months free.

Reply to Has anyone shopped at the Walmart on Silver Spring st recently? by LilPoutinePat

Oh story time! So in June I moved here from down south, I needed to stock up on groceries and didn't know what was good in the area, so I went up to the Spring Street Walmart.

Now I've had a Walmart in my town for nearly all my life, I'm used to getting groceries from there all the time. I don't think I'd ever been in a Walmart that wasn't a Supercenter except literally one trip to the Walmart Neighborhood store in my aunt's town. Walmart always had fresh food, that's just how it was.

So I walk up and down the aisles of the spring street Walmart looking for their produce. It's so weird, there's just a bunch of rows of canned and frozen food in between the toys and the clothes. So I flagged down an employee and ask him where the fresh food is.

"Oh you mean the frozen food? It's over on aisle 32."

"yeah but I'm looking for like fresh fruit and meat and stuff."

"...Do you mean raw food?"

And each of us is looking at the other like they're a goddam alien. I cannot process the idea that Walmart doesn't have raw food, and this dude cannot process that someone would ask for that.

Anyway his coworker overheard and said told me they don't have fresh food, but they should have some at Shaws. So yeah they don't have it there.
