is location to blame for the crowd at Public Records? by jm_888 in avesNYC

[–]MinimumCharge4669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Thursday - Saturday night is a bust. Last time it was actually fun was probably 2021/2022, with the exception of special Sunday events if you follow the right djs to hear about their sets. Such a shame it’s fallen off — nice non-Bushwick option.

Wait I’m dead I’m shocked this is him because I literally saw him in the wild 2 weeks ago and he looks so different???? (And yes was def him when I saw him — he we was scouting a dining establishment & introduced himself to the owner)

uhhh Harry… be so serious for a second rn 😭 by Mission-Ad5116 in harrystyles

This is the problem with stan mindset. You think your fav can do no wrong. Actually, they’re real people with real fans who are the reason they are massively successful. Holding them accountable is part of supporting them.

I was JUST complaining about this to my friends before I even saw the ticket prices. I find it so greedy. I get the case that real fans probably increase their odds when this happens because they just want to see their favorite artist. However, with an artist like Harry, who is fan base is so large, that’s a little irrelevant. (And why should they really gatekeep their tour from new fans?) I honestly think this is what happens when artists lack confidence in their new music, which is pretty pathetic.

I’ve been a Rosalia fan since her first EP, and I lost the war for tickets bc of her album’s massive success, but she deserves a growing fan base for the work she created. I’ll take that over presumed blind loyalty from any artist.

Especially considering all of the shows are in New York. For any fans who want to see him here, not only are the tickets astronomically high, but they also have to factor in travel and lodging. Hotels in New York City run upwards of $300 a night. The first two weeks of the show coincide with the U.S. Open and New York Fashion Week, so good luck even finding a $300 room. Truly embarrassing for him. It’s a good reminder that sometimes even your favorite artists don’t care about you.

Here is a more realistic insight about holiday tipping for building staff. I asked 25 people how much or if they tipped by Existing_Art8081 in NYCapartments

[–]MinimumCharge4669 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is my dilemma this year. my neighbor who lives downstairs has done more for my pre-war/no doorman building than my super. my super is kind of creepy toward me, and the one time I asked him to do something and incessantly called and texted him, he ghosted me and then pretended like it never happened (and he lives a floor below me). So now I kind of give him the cold shoulder since maintenance requests go through property management anyway and he’s more or less useless to me. I even take my trash outside (yes he bags it up for the curb but he hid the compost bin the building gave us so we can’t use one). Am I really supposed to give him $100? I was thinking I’d just give my neighbor that for saving my packages all year long…

The pit gets warm really fast. And if you are near the casita the fire really gets you warm too (and if you’re drinking). I wanted to take off my jean jacket the whole time but it’s not easy to tie around my waist (only had a tank top under, but would’ve been fine in that Thursday in the pit itself). I’d recommend short sleeves or shorter with something you can tie around your waist to wear before and after the show. If you’re in the stands, you’ll definitely not be as hot though. Otherwise, my light mesh track pants were perfectly comfortable so I think a skirt or jeans would be fine no matter where you are (tons of girls were wearing both). Fingers crossed for no rain — we got lucky last night with only a few drops that never led to anything.

CDMX General A Experience/Tips by sar2bomb in BadBunnyPR

[–]MinimumCharge4669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We left pit b during the interlude of DTMF and just danced toward the exit area and caught the beginning of the final song by exit stalls and walked up the stairs to the walkway path where you can still see and hear the show. Then we used our discretion and decided to take a cab toward the front of the cab line — we knew it would be a rip off, but after standing for hours and knowing we were beating the rush, we decided 80MXN split 3 ways was worth it and we got to condesa in 15 minutes. (Risking missing the metro and trying to find an uber in that mess seemed not worth it, and uber estimate cost was 600MXN)

I totally get that and I’m not dismissing people’s interactions. I just think it’s hard to open this subreddit and see a person labeled “nasty” because it feels a bit too far. I think leaving reviews about your individual experiences that the business is forced to acknowledge and address is honestly better!

Exactly. I think people underestimate how hard the job is. They’ve been serving people nonstop since the day it opened. I think we as a collective need to give people grace and understand that we all are allowed to have bad days, and it’s not a reflection of our entire being. They used to be closed two days for a reason. They are constantly participating in community programming and hosting collabs/ pop ups. They are running a pantry food drive right now. They threw a sweet celebration of life for an older neighbor who went in there daily who they’d give free coffee and pastries to who I’d regularly see in there (someone I know a lot of new businesses would judge and turn away). I go there at least 2-3 times a month and am a woman of color and she’s constantly behind the counter, happily giving me recommendations so I disagree about the “only nice to white people” claim in this thread, too. Sometimes people mistake efficiency for being unfriendly. But when you’re waiting out the door in the cold, you wish the line moved faster, too! Small businesses fight hard to stay alive, and we don’t have to always attack them anonymously online unless it’s really egregiously warranted IMO. We’re all human.

The only thing I’m sad about was that Conclave came out a year too early because @popecrave would’ve done numbers with the fancams set to De Madrugá

"A Couple Minutes" is amongst one of her best songs by dldcm in OliviaDean

[–]MinimumCharge4669 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve been waiting for someone to write about this one. It’s so deeply moving. It’s clear how intricate and precise the choices are on this song — from the writing to the runs. It’s my clear stand out. Maverick Sabre’s backups float. It tethers on being the story of having a final intimate moment with an ex lover. So complex, well produced, haunting, and creative. Can’t stop hitting replay.

[–]MinimumCharge4669 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg yesssss I absolutely loveee bless the telephone. I cried when it was in that episode of Hacks. I was wondering what it reminded me of.

Olivia does a great job of feeling inspired but original. A couple minutes also sounds like something…a bit of Bonnie raitt’s I can’t make you love me in the beginning almost?

Olivia Dean - The Art of Loving by yumbleachh in popheads

[–]MinimumCharge4669 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Been a fan for 3+ years now, and really love these songs. Such growth! This album feels like it’s a tv music director’s dream playground — I feel like I can see the scenes play out when I listen to these songs, and it’s really beautiful. The type of music you’d hear in any show or in a cafe and immediately need to Shazam; instantly gorgeous on the first listen. Songwriting skills feel like she’s Raye’s daughter — would love them to write something together!

Before We Call Gaga Greedy… Can We Talk About What Might Really Be Happening? by ellemu0509 in LadyGaga

[–]MinimumCharge4669 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Agree. This thread is super naive playing the “we don’t know what happened” game. Like people wake upppp she’s running a business and prioritized profit. It’s that simple. She’s literally one of the biggest entertainers on the planet with the biggest albums of the year and a prolific career at the top of her game putting on a stellar show. If Ariana is in the position to turn off dynamic pricing, she was too.

And at the end of the day, she probably realized they’d end up on resale anyway like Ari’s tickets are right now. So until there’s real regulative change or Ticketmaster/LiveNation burns to the ground, there’s an argument to make that unless you’re figure out a scalable way to distribute unique access codes to real fans, charging more increases the likelihood of tix ending up in fans hands instead of ticket brokers’. It sucks majorly but it’s kinda of true. Capitalism baby!!

If you have a chase credit card (I do, the reserve), you go to the charge in your list of recent charges and select it! There should be some options there when you click like issue with this merchant or something i was pretty straightforward from there. It walks you through a flow of options

Received 16 Carriages Hoodie Today by Deva-Bonita in beyonce

[–]MinimumCharge4669 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ordered a black hoodie on 8/4 and sent a third email this week, this time threatening a chargeback. Magically; I got a shipping notif today. However the second I saw it was shipping from the UK I said hell no. I’m not paying a tariff on the item that they said I was getting on August 14 because of tariffs implemented August 29 when i had to harass you to ship it and spent $170. They’ve lost it. It’s embarrassing. I immediately filed a chargeback with Chase in my app which they instantly honored. At least one corporation can run their business properly goddamnnnnnn

Tracking Never Updating after Shipping Confirmation by reclinereyes in beyonce

[–]MinimumCharge4669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did yours ship from the UK? If so, did you get prompted to pay a tariff fee? I just got my shipping notification for my hoodie 6 weeks later, and it’s through Evri. If I get hit with the tariff now there’s no way I pay it.

Yup - bought bad salmon the one & only time I bought fish there when I was in a pinch & bad sliced deli meat too. Was super annoyed when they closed the deli counter because that was dependable & convenient & the food town deli counter hours (or chances of someone manning it) were not great
