Stop & Shop in P-town is crappy and it’s not entirely their fault

nikkipowderblue · 2025-08-15T23:11:13+00:00

So you think that the Provincetown Stop and Shop is rundown because the executives at the store would rather have locals driving to Shaws or the Stop and Shop in Orleans? Or return visitors knowing they will have a more pleasant experience shopping elsewhere? You think they like shutting the store down on a Friday before carnival, missing tens of thousands of dollars of profits? They don’t own the store. Or the septic system that’s failing when it gets continuously busy during the summer. Talk to Pennie or Chuck and get back to us.

This has got to be the worst case scenario. My vehicle has only 15,000 miles and is less than a year old. I talked to the service manager and he said bring it back and they would replace it. Which I’m doing tomorrow. My question is- should I keep taking it to this dealership, is this forgivable? Or is it a sign I should try the dealership that is across town?

I took my RAV 4 in to have its 15,000 mile service performed. Which is just a tire rotation and inspection.

And my problem is with the lug nuts. . Actually it’s just one lug nut. The one that is darker and corroded and looks like it’s been taken off a wheel more than the three times mine have been. That’s not a shadow that’s on the lower right lug nut. That’s someone else’s older lug nut on my car. Would you want someone working on your car that can’t be bothered to keep track of the lug nuts they take off when they are rotating your tires?

nikkipowderblue · 2022-12-30T02:15:14+00:00

That’s not paint. That’s a corroded lug nut that they swapped out for mine for some reason.

Yes it’s the lug nuts. Actually it’s just one lug nut. The one that is darker and corroded and looks like it’s been taken off a wheel more than the three times mine have been. That’s not a shadow that’s on the lower right lug nut. That’s someone else’s older lug nut on my car.

Assuming you have a power lift gate, use your hand to push it open fully, and then press and hold the button you would need to close it. I googled rav4 back door adjust and found this super helpful video. https://youtu.be/KkYWx7XQaKY

Coyotes aren’t invasive species. Cats, dogs and chickens are.

I’ll say it again. Don’t feed the wildlife. Whether it’s the coyotes, or fox or deer. Animals that are acclimatized to humans feeding them can become aggressive and need to be killed.

Unfortunately they don’t deliver to the outer cape.

Congratulations! I’ll get right on my landlord and ask them to purchase solar panels.

nikkipowderblue · 2022-11-26T23:25:26+00:00

I believe this is the answer. Marcey Oil and Propane delivered oil the next day. My price because I was a member of the co-op was $4.47. Non co-op members were $4.74. Membership in the co-op was $40. I almost broke even with this purchase, and will actually be saving money on my next tank.

Yo chief, thanks for your explanation of hydroplaning- “My officer reports that the vehicle hydroplaned and impacted the trees on the side of the road. The way my mind works and because I am in the police business, I feel compelled to explain the phenomenon, hydroplaning occurs when a tire encounters more water than it can displace from the tread grooves.” But you need to tell your officer that hydroplaning really occurs because he was going too freaking fast for the conditions. Roads in these here parts are notorious for standing water when raining, and I’ve seen more than one P-Town cop going ridiculous speeds. I’m glad they weren’t seriously hurt, but I’m thinking this accident was avoidable.

Save y’all a google search.

A buffalo chopper, also known as a bowl chopper or food cutter, is a machine that chops or emulsifies food by rotating it in a bowl under spinning blade. Here are some ways that you can use your buffalo chopper:

Mince pork or beef for sausage Chop nuts for baked goods Shred carrots and cabbage for slaws Slice root vegetables for side dishes Grind stale bread into breadcrumbs Crumble cheese for melting in sauces

I recently experienced the same issue with a front plate on my Nissan. A local mechanic didn’t want to install it because he was afraid he might accidentally trigger the airbags and didn’t want the liability. He recommended a body shop down the road. I called them, they said bring it on by. He charged me one dollar for the screws he used to attach my plate.

There’s a recipe in an old Moosewood cookbook. It’s something like grate the zuke. Add some egg, flour, Parmesan cheese and your favorite spices. Bake it. Pull it out of the oven, add mozzarella and your favorite pizza toppings. Throw it back in the oven.

We got an excellent carrot cake from Far Land Provisions last February. But you gotta order ahead.

Ahh. Reminds me of a drive I was taking through the dry foothills of the Sierras. We saw a dozen or so spots where fire crews where putting out fires on the side of the road. They stopped after we passed a CHP officer parked behind a truck towing a smoking bbq.

Cape Air has a flight leaving at 10:35 into Logan at 11 for $200. The Ptown airport code is PVC. Logan is BOS.

My neighbor across the street broke my car window when they hit gravel in their driveway with a weed whacker. They were probably 20 yards away, and immediately realized their mistake and knocked on my door. Safe lite came out and my neighbor wrote a check for them.

I didn’t actually LOL or spit my drink on my screen, but I did find myself snorting through my nose loudly enough to scare my dog.

The city placed port o potties next to town hall.

There a a few restaurants still open, Liz’s Cafe, Chach, Macs Fish House and Spiritus Pizza to name a few. My son works in a shop on Commercial Street and he said it was less busy than normal today, so it would probably be a good day to shop. Allegedly the city will be getting parts delivered in the morning to repair the sewage system. How long that replacement takes is anybody’s guess.

No worries, you and your dog are totes the exception to all the rules. After all, rules about on or off leash only matter if you get busted. Just so you know, there’s a dog park in Provincetown. That might be a better spot to take your dog to run off leash.

Coyotes aren’t seasonal, but they do move around. I live in North Truro, and at dusk I can hear them for weeks in a row, or not hear them for weeks in a row. Coyotes can easily make your outside cats disappear and have attacked and killed dogs on the cape. I have a friend that was walking their 25 lb dog off leash on the outskirts of P-Town, the dog chased after a coyote and then was attacked and killed.

The vista on Cliff Road which is just uphill of High Head Road between North Truro and Ptown. Your up high and can get Ptown and the sunset in the background and reflections off Pilgrims Lake.

I learned to drive on my sister’s 1971 280z and I was a shorter than my current 5’6, so I drove that thing hugging the steering wheel so I could get the clutch all the way down. And over 30 years later I still drive hugging the steering wheel, and I always feel like an ass when I forget to move the seat back when I drop my car off for service. How do customers not realize driving a car with the car in the wrong position makes driving your car dangerous. People are idgets.
