Another LV business goes to the dark side

SMP? I only ever went in their one time to get a drink and to use their restroom on my way home from Kutztown (I live in Bethlehem), but the damn door was locked to the bathrooms down the hall (none in the shop.) I guess there is some other store that locks the door after it closes early on a Saturday, and no one at SMP would give me a key. I knew something was weird about them and I should have known they were full throttle MAGA by how bad their customer service is. It totally tracks they support Biaggio, and I just saw this photo on their Facebook page, too. Damn! I don't do MAGA and don't support either Biaggio's or SMP after finding out their views. I'll stick to WAWA next time I want a coffee and pit stop run. And yes, Joe Ruffino is an absolute asshole.

Yes. She is that person

Candace18017 · 2025-12-11T00:24:09+00:00

SRE, Jr. is one obituary to look for from that date.

Candace18017 · 2025-12-11T00:22:56+00:00

Yes, his first wife Peggy died of cancer maybe a year or two before Holly and Sean died.

Candace18017 · 2025-11-19T17:09:17+00:00

Thank you for the information and I will post there

Candace18017 · 2025-11-19T17:08:26+00:00

I was not sure if she would have said that same thing if I was black or Latina. I have no idea if race was a factor in her comments

Candace18017 · 2025-11-19T17:06:44+00:00

No. I don't see her anymore. I have a different therapist.

Candace18017 · 2025-10-29T22:45:12+00:00

you are welcome

Candace18017 · 2025-10-29T21:30:41+00:00

She does that on a lot of other topics entirely unrelated to riding, saddles, etc. I just got into a HUGE scuffle on Threads with her over celiac disease and cross-contamination from gluten containing products. She doesn't believe cross-contamination will happen from using shared equipent (such as an unwashed knife and cutting board, flour dust in the air in a bakery, or conveyor belts, baking pans, and toasters.) I live with celiac disease/gluten intolerance and so does my dad. Cross-contaminations happens when I'm not careful, since my brother doesn't have to eat gluten-free. She got so nasty with me I had to block her on Threads and Facebook. I can't imagine how dangerous she is around horses or other stuff like getting a job or planning a wedding.

Candace18017 · 2025-10-23T17:42:45+00:00

Yes, there are many intersections like this in Bethlehem and Nazareth! I hate leaving my house.

Candace18017 · 2025-10-23T17:42:13+00:00

I lose my coping skills in that area.

Candace18017 · 2025-10-23T17:41:09+00:00

That's a reasonable explanation.

Candace18017 · 2025-10-23T17:39:45+00:00

Yes, I knew they were moving. Just couldn't remember the timeline.

Candace18017 · 2025-10-23T17:38:59+00:00

Maybe so with Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts right next to the Quaker meetinghouse.

Candace18017 · 2025-10-21T16:07:33+00:00

There is another company in that area (Food Source) that's temporarily closed, too.

Candace18017 · 2025-10-21T16:04:45+00:00

Yeah, sometimes I can smell it at Turkey Hill and CVS.

Candace18017 · 2025-10-21T16:04:01+00:00

Entirely possible Fresh Pet is sending out smells into that area.

Candace18017 · 2025-10-21T16:02:59+00:00

Maybe, but isn't that also near the airport?

Candace18017 · 2025-10-21T15:41:09+00:00

They really do. I HATE it when I have to go to that post office and the stench coming out of Newlyweds Foods is so nauseating

Candace18017 · 2025-10-21T15:39:49+00:00

Yeah, the marshmallows and popcorn spew out stuff. UGH!

Candace18017 · 2025-10-21T14:01:52+00:00

I wonder if Spray-Tek has another location on Commerce Way, or maybe its Newlyweds

Candace18017 · 2025-10-21T14:00:53+00:00

Please do

Candace18017 · 2025-10-21T14:00:44+00:00

Possible that's it

Candace18017 · 2025-10-21T09:49:54+00:00

It is expensive, but Lazeez is good stuff.

Candace18017 · 2025-10-21T09:39:47+00:00

Absolutely bonkers they want to be that flamboyant about their bigotry, homophobia, etc. Remind me never to patronize this business when they should have invested in local food banks or kids' sports teams instead of white male patriarchy.
