For the record, the rights social activists defend were not bestowed on us by the "capitalist pigs" (referencing DTG's clip). We were all born with them.
Certain powers, made up of a very small number who happen to control major wealth and influence, and whose wealth and influence is made only with the work and effort of countless others, would limit them, remove them, deny that birthright, even to those who help amass that wealth and influence. Power to the people.

Thank you, Grovester, for sharing. I've seen bad service there and, like you, began to get the impression that they were getting cocky and losing their investment in customer service. I don't need a constant sunny disposition, but that's a social violation. I believe your story. I had been going there less and less over the last year+. Now, they are off my list completely. Eventually, they will either get the message and begin to appreciate their customers and their bounty, or they will go out of business.

Where's Maloney's? Google points me to this conversation but there's no listing for them. Could it be "Maloney Commodities" on Broadway?

Well, Webmaster? I believe fasteddie that he quoted it first. So, are you going to check the credits before you sell the shirts? Here's your motivation to sell these shirts on jclist: A new template for the print, with a centered line at the bottom saying: "courtesy of FastEddie . www.jclist.com . (c) 2006" that would make it alright by me. because, even though the Healy team probably hates the image impact of this shirt, I bet Jerry has gotten a guffaw or two or fifty out of it himself. It's sooooooooooo Jersey City. Eddie, if you really coined that, you deserve more than a t-shirt, dude.

when i moved into my neighborhood uptown a couple of years ago, i was the first vanilla cream on the block. my block got used to me pretty quick; the teenagers started calling me, "Ma'am" and getting out of my way after i started asking them where they live.
the loser adult guys are something different. my block is ok. but my neighborhood is sketchy here and there at different times. ignoring is my first tack, because yes, they generally want a rise out of you. but sometimes, you have to look them in the eye and tell them to "back off, mthrfkr, who do you think you're dealing with?" which they will follow up with "what's the matter, i'm just trying to..." to which one might respond, "well, i'm not interested so fk off! now, have a nice day!" sometimes it works.

I almost rented a Heights property from Hashmi in Fall 2005. We met twice to look at different properties in the middle of the work day. He pulled a bait and switch and brought to our lease signing documents showing a 40% higher rent than we had discussed.
Whew.

Ah, yes, the JCPO. Stunning, isn't it? Remember when "the check's in the mail" was a poor excuse for a late payment? Now it's probably true.
The JCPO delivery problems are endemic and not restricted to any neighborhood. The "nobody was home" bs is very common, sad to say. I don't know what the problem is. it's stunning to me that there is no quality control, no one is in charge, at least not to the point that "customer service" has any meaningful significance. i've also seen: - a FAMILY delivering mail, specifically CHILDREN being handed batches of mail by their (presumably) postal carrier parent to drop into boxes up and down the street. I saw this result, not surprisingly, in mail put into the wrong mailbox and mail thrown onto steps. - when my landlords moving out, they changed their address, and MY mail stopped coming. after a few days of no mail, i called the PO and was told the carrier had made a mistake. [what kind of a mistake is that? you get a stop mail notice for one party, so you stop the other party's mail too? ????] after that the mail came trickling in but three months later i was still calling the P.O. about mail i wasn't receiving and i finally got a huge bag of mail that was sitting somewhere in a corner in the PO. it's disappointing how low people's expectations are, of themselves and others.

yes, they do, for good or bad. anytime you take a leadership position of any kind, official or otherwise, you draw attention and attack. people who do NOT take responsibility project their needs onto those who do. from parents to business owners to elected officials, police, physicians, and on and on -- it's human nature, and those who take a leadership position have to anticipate it and deal with it, or back off. it comes with the territory, with stickng your neck out, and it behooves someone like a PD Community Liaison to work on dealing with it. on a side note, what you call "police bashing" is sometimes hard but appropriate reaction to inappropriate behavior. we all have seen PD officers lose their professional attitude and act out of turn. it's a tough job and people mess up. PD personnel cannot afford to be too thin-skinned. but nonetheless, i think a lot of that bashing is just because the police are convenient receptacle for people's frustrations. oh well.

Ditto. Communicating on a central board like this is an excellent addition to attending the Neighborhood Association meetings, Watch meetings, etc. I know Officer Mac acted independently when he posted here, but imo, he was appropriately supplementing and complementing his official duties. I wish he could have been rewarded in some other way than promoting him OUT of the position. I would go so far as to suggest that the Community Liaison Officer should have the skills necessary to engage in this kind of forum and should assigned to do so, for all the reasons Valkin gave.
