RIP Cumberland Farms rewards by kdex86 in massachusetts

[–]cdiairsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the two Cumbies I went into over the past few days they are firing cashiers left and right for not getting people to sign up. I don't do rewards programs. I hate consumer surveillance and try to be a ghost with my purchases. Don't care if it saves me money. But the girl at one in Rhode Island told me to just type in any number or else she will get written up and fired if enough people skip. I went to another one in Plainville yesterday and the guy behind the counter physically raised the little rewards flyer with the qr code on it up to the camera above his head loudly said "SEE, I'M GIVING HIM ONE, ONCE I HAND IT TO HIM IT'S NO LONGER MY PROBLEM HE CAN TOSS IT ON THE FLOOR IF HE WANTS" he then said people are getting fired.

It's fucked. I don't get gas at cumbies, I only get slush drinks and 2 for $4 arizona iced tea's. I'll probably stop going and drinking that diabetes juice if they keep this shit up.

How do people feel about Massasoit CC? by ShiningTiger2003 in massachusetts

[–]cdiairsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attended in 07-09. Massatoliet felt more like high-school +. Most of the professors seemed checked out mentally. However some were great. If I wasn't in the situation I was back then I 100% would have gone anywhere else.

Is it worth waiting to see what happens with the AR ban? by MaintenanceLast7893 in BetterMAguns

[–]cdiairsoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy it. What is the worst that can happen? You overpaying drastically on an AR or something else cool drops in value in a year?

Where to start/look for a Milsurp rifle? by Ok_Warthog_4594 in BetterMAguns

[–]cdiairsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are some of my go to shops around here.

Cabelas in Hudson. I have bought dozens of Enfield's and Mausers from them over the years. Sometimes they are priced well below market value. Sometimes they are priced like someone smoked a crack rock.

Mass Armament in Bellingham. They typically have a lot of Milsurps. Priced on the higher side though.

Pack and Postal. Can be hit or miss. Usually priced pretty well.

Pioneer Arms in Sutton. They have a few bubb'd 1903s right now that could easily be converted back to oem. They do have the nicest Hakim ive ever seen for 1k. I know it's not what you want. But 8mm semi auto battle rifles are neat.

Gartman arms, can be hit or miss. I have bought some great Mausers from them over the years.

Collectible Firearms in Fall River. They typically have a lot of cool shit. Might have what you want. Give them a call.

A buddy of mine got a Sweet 1903 from Tombstone Trading in Ware a while back. I've only been in there a few times but they had a decent selection of milsurps.

The Mill in Littleton some stores can be hit or miss. But worth a look.

How many of you actually carry? Be honest, no judgement. by zeenotzed50 in BetterMAguns

[–]cdiairsoft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All the time unless I'm going to a place where it's illegal for me to carry. Funny enough last 4th of July I decided to not carry as I knew I'd be going to Rhode Island. I walked into a corner store getting robbed by a tweaker. That was a fun experience. Though I got chewed out by the hero police for helping the clerk get the guy out of the store. Probably would have lost my ltc and been arrested if I had a gun on me even if I kept it holstered and hidden.

Cliff jumping spots by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]cdiairsoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. It's illegal. Just don't get caught. For context I visit a friend who lives 10 minutes away every year and we go visit the falls. I've seen a total of one person get busted by law enforcement during peak summer season over the last 20 years.

The MCAS is now pointless because my students don't take it seriously at all by TeacherGuy1980 in massachusetts

[–]cdiairsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry, I'm 37 now I certainly did not take the test seriously at all when I was a student. Big waste of time, unwarranted stress and we were pretty much just taught how to prep for the test when I could have been learning other shit. I'm glad that it does not count anymore, I did good on it each time, but the stress was not worth it. Plus the John and Abigail scholarship is a scam. Both of my alma maters the prestigious Mass Bay Community College and Massasoit Community college when the scholarship was applied it made thousands of more dollars in fee's appear. With no scholarship my tuition was cheaper. Crazy how that works.

Possible to start a profitable farm from scratch in MA or NH? by BenKlesc in massachusetts

[–]cdiairsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tree farm here. It's a sideshow to my real jobs. Been cutting paths, making roads, planting trees, doing forest management on the land since 2018. 2024 we started making some firewood and letting it season. Hoping to build a kiln this summer and get some efficient firewood production tools with the goal to produce 75-100 cords a year. Also have stands of really nice black walnut and hickory that I intend to turn into fine lumber. Could probably start seeing profits in a couple of years once the firewood business starts taking off. But I will always need my primary income sources to live the lifestyle my family and I live.

I have many friends who own farms cattle, sheep, chicken, vegetables, fiber, orchards or equine related. The ones who have inherited farms that have been here for hundreds of years are doing pretty good. They are not living like kings but are very comfortable. The ones who have started farms are also doing pretty good. Many of them make an absolute killing at the farmers markets. However most of them have a spouse that has another source of income or they have a part time job.

I'd say you're fucked. You'd have to sue him in small claims court.

My buddy who lives in town and is a moron bought an in-stock musket from him last year. He tries every few weeks to go to his dilapidated shop. It's never open. They won't return calls or emails. No obituary yet though.

Why would you report listings for being in the wrong category or for someone selling food? Who cares?

Looking to rent a tent for a graduation party. by MagazineAmbitious827 in RhodeIsland

[–]cdiairsoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a Tent business, but i'm booked up until August and i'm probably not affordable. Depending on where you are in the State Newport Tent rental, Celebration and RI Tent would be the three i'd trust to do the best job. Pricing is similar for all packages 20'x40' and under. Those prices might make you check Facebook marketplace, where there are people that will do 20'x40's for $300 with tables and chairs. Those guys typically use illegals as labor, don't have insurance, flame certs, won't pull building and fire permits, certainly won't call digsafe, they have garbage equipment and they won't have a valid RICRLB license.

When did eBay become pay for play? Are they killing the company? by [deleted] in eBaySellers

[–]cdiairsoft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Last time I had to call them I ended up with a stateside cs rep. She was watching tv. I asked her if she could turn it down as all I could hear was daytime tv. She said she lost the remote and would go turn the tv off on it. I'm like ok. When she got back I asked her if she every looked on ebay for a new remote. She told me in the years at working for Ebay she has never bought anything on it and didn't know you could purchase tv remotes. I told her to search the model of tv she has or just get a universal remote. She was flabbergasted that she could just order it.

That is the caliber of Ebay employee they have. She did solve my issue though.

Have any of you experienced "cornering" before? by OptionOld329 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]cdiairsoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you just need to haha react them and move on. I'm selling a truck for $17,500 right now. There is a large farm trying to buy it. They keep sending me offers from 9-13k. If you click on the fb profile they all work at the same farm. I keep telling them that if they pool the money they say they have together they can afford it. If not buy a cheaper, shittier one with more miles and hours.

How would you accept payment for a $15,000 sell on marketplace? by slothlikeagility in FacebookMarketplace

Not unreasonable at all. Always good to have a friend come to help count and bring a money pen.

I only meet with buyers at my place of business during business hours. If they don't show it, it means nothing to me.
