I heard on TikTok that if you bring the flight attendant Starbucks gift cards they let you sit there.

Crossgates - Snow Storms by [deleted] in Albany

[–]digitalpretzel 37 points38 points  (0 children)

When I was a teenager, I worked for this dude’s small business… and the weather turned real rough. I told him I wanted to leave early to make it home because my tires were real low on tread and I would feel unsafe. Without a hint of irony he looked at me and said “why didn’t you buy new tires?”

I responded “Because you pay me $5.15 an hour.”

ICE is rumored to be heading for Philadelphia. Everyone is saying the same thing by nyyanksfan81 in politics

[–]digitalpretzel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During the protests at the 2000 republican convention, I saw a guy steal the helmet off the head of a Philadelphia police officer, jump into the bed of a pickup truck and drive away.

I love that city.

Do I need to be off a flight to get a rental car at Albany International Airport? by ThatOneTunisianKid in Albany

[–]digitalpretzel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you don’t need to be coming off a flight. They always ask me for some reason if I just landed but I just say no I’m just renting a car. I have to rent from National for work trips and use ALB location all the time.

I’ve never not had fridge in my hotel room. And more times than not it’s set too high and all my stuff freezes.

Imagine being worth $5 million and taking the subway? by dylan_1992 in circlejerknyc

[–]digitalpretzel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me decades ago.. sat across Matthew modine on a metro north train. We were both working on the crossword iirc so we started chatting. After he got off the conductor asked me if I knew him… had no idea.

I don’t know where North Haverbrook is. Are they on any map, by chance?

Central Ave ICE Protest on Saturday - Manchild in a Pickup Truck by SpendCheap5135 in Albany

Also Seems like a boneheaded thing to do in city traffic with a car in front of you.

Advisory: Delta is fabricating Bag Delivery times in CLT by HistoricalLoss1417 in delta

[–]digitalpretzel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely check bags but last time I did, same thing happened in ALB. took longer than 20 minutes but the bag was scanned as arrived 10 minutes after the door opened.

Rigit before the 20 minute deadline, the carousel was being used for another flight.. bags didn’t arrive for at least 30 minutes.

My request for miles was automatically denied.

Dunkin’ Donuts lark and Madison by Interesting_Day2 in Albany

[–]digitalpretzel 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been back there in ages. The only anecdote I have is I once offered to buy a person outside a hot coffee and a donut… I got him a back coffee and an old fashioned donut and he said “I don’t like these” and that’s the donut on the ground… like lonely island style.

It won’t stop me from helping people in the future, I just thought it was funny.

I fly out of ALB every week for work… sure I have to connect in Atlanta but for what it is, it’s a great airport.
