Our family just moved to Dallas a couple of weeks ago from Asheville. Loving it so far! My mom is living with us and she’s feeling a bit down bc she isn’t sure what there is to do around here for seniors. She’s an artist that loves to partake in her plant medicine, super down to earth. Any recommendations for a cool sports bar where older folks congregate, art classes, book clubs, senior gym classes? Tia!

They pay isn't worth it! This 3rd management team specifically and especially the general manager operation managers are a joke. Discrimination and retaliation is rampant at that facility! After the union lost the election a month or 2 ago 42-40 (thanks to the companies scare tactics of spreading they would shutdown, telling ppl union dues are hundreds of dollars a WK instead of the roughly 60$ a months, the using pet scared employees to find out who was pro union and then fired those ppl or took them out of positions they worked hard to learn and build up to and be delegated to bottom positions for the rest of their employees as punishment in hopes they would quit and hand down the most extreme punishments for the most miniscule infractions) it has been a nightmare. This new 3rd GM IN A YR (which tells you the distract managers judgment and hiring is insanely horrible) is a communist authoritarian dictator who has continued the seeming gang mentality with his management team of them against the employees and taking care of anyone who might complain about the issues of management. Which all have been a issue for 2yrs outta of the 3 now and all issues have been brought directly to the district manager as well as all his general manages and operations managers and supervisors: no communication between shift leaders, the gm, oms n most sups don't know the companies computer sysytems on days the lead has the pressure of tasking which pretty much runs the orders n work to the crew, on nights the logistics guy and a regular floor guy (who does have 15yrs management experience but for some reason can't get promoted over a 20yr old kid who knows nothing but whatever) runs the shift as the supervisors sit by the tasker talking most of the night n do 2 walk arounds throughout the shift to look busy and let's not mention the om hes chilling in the office all night. The day om is the absolute worst. Knows nothing but skates by on fkn with ppl. So if you are a person who speaks up to try and help the facility, bring to HR or management a issue on treatment by management, pro union or anyone that doesn't like u just tells them you are, you will either be black balled and locked in to the most physically tasking positions with no possibility of learning, growing or moving up or fired. And yes a supervisor literally told an employee who the gm did not like (because he was assumed pro union and always correcting the day shift errors in his department but the day on n gm are but buddies so the day om took it personal instead bettering his team) he is under strict orders to not put that employee in the department and position he worked a yr to learn and get and is now stuck with no relief or help in op picking. The leads on 1st are favored handpicked mindless tools who are just happy to be making the money for the position. More like glorified regular employees who get to talk more n do a bit more nothing without punishment as long as they report what ppl are saying n who's pro union. Good luck that place won't be open long.

I received a jury duty summons that I have to go to the Luzerne County Courthouse for tomorrow. On the Luzerne County website, it says that you are allowed to use laptops and other devices while you wait, but I wanted to check and see if anyone knows if that's still definitely the case before I try to walk in there tomorrow with one. I'm hoping to be able to get some work done while I wait. If that is allowed, are you allowed to bring a backpack or something to carry your stuff in? I could understand why that might get iffy at a courthouse.

When will I find the best deal for the 2025 season pass? Black Friday? What’s the discount usually?

(Also posted in r/Scranton but) Rock 107 was recently ranked #1 in the area for the first time in a very long time, & we are really appreciative of all of your help in making that possible!! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!!!

As part of the celebration, my boss decided to have a friendly competition where the most interaction one gets on sharing this picture, that employee will get a free day off and a nice gift from the company

If any of you could just upvote it would help me in this co-worker competition! Help me beat my coworkers!

It seems like every doctor in the Wayne Memorial system is just awful and dismissive and tbh I've been pulled over for traffic violations and gotten far more respect than some of the doctors I've needed to see. I am willing to travel a little if we need to. We are close to Pleasant Mount so can head to Waymart or Honesdale or Carbondale just as easily or even Pike. Doctors like Luma in Carbondale or Hacker in Honesdale or the revolving door of young Highland Phy Doctors who act like anyone over the age of 50 with pre existing conditions and not born with the body of a zooma instructor should just die already.

I need as much help as i can get with my RA and Lupus issues and all they want to do is stop all off label prescribed medications (like plaquenil for instance) that actually do work and offer me 3 motrin a day instead.

I need an old style doctor that will sit with me and run tests and figure me out and not treat me like i am some annoying 58 yo boomer and not chalk everything up to being a little overweight

Please tell me someone like that still exists There has to be some sweet old time doctor in these thar hills that still gives a shit

Hi! I am looking for a good reputable place that possibly does lash lift & tint where I can also get a Botox consultation (never had before) to see the cost. Any recommendations in/around Scranton area? Personal expierence for a rec would be preferred. TIA

I recently started enjoying pumpkin spice lattes and am curious where people have found the best one in the area? So far my top two are drip coffee co and (unfortunately) Starbucks. I would love to support local over Starbucks though

Hope this doesn’t get me a bunch of hate. We are a family of 5, 3 young kiddos.

Just looking for NEPA (Scranton area) good food bank recommendations.

When I say good, I mean they give fresh produce, meat, or non-expired items.

Not asking for a handout from anyone here, not asking for money or help from individuals.

Just wondering if anyone familiar with the area that either volunteers or maybe has gone through struggle themselves can recommend a good food bank.

Please don’t spam with hate, we are working to get to a better place in life and are just down on luck.

Weird question but my SO is Canadian and we love to share with each other things that can only be found where we live. He’s a big foodie and loves beer so last time I brought him Yuengling which he loved but I’m just trying to get ideas what to bring him next month. Any suggestions would be amazing. Thanks in advance

So the orange turd had a gathering of his turdles in Scranton. According to the Times Tribune two uniformed turdles were holding signs stating Scranton Firemen for Trump. They are not SFD and the union has Not endorsed either candidate

Just wondering if anyone hasn't had to "Fire up the Heat" in the NEPA region ? I caved a few days ago when it the house temperature dropped below 60° and the whole place felt like a cooler.. I always enjoy the smell of steam heating the radiators after being shutdown for the summer for the first time . Have you avoided this so far?

Edit: 10/13 9:16 AM 🤔 I think I should of worded as " Used any heating source other than what the outside temperature naturally provides in your living area" 😉 That would include space heaters, fireplaces, those mini splits etc..🤷‍♂️

I just heard this today.

Eta: the ballots have been cancelled. I'm not fully clear on what this means yet, but I'm sure it will be in the post cards sent out

Anyone know any jobs in wilkes barre that pay at least like $15/hr? My wife has been out of work for like 6 months now and she's been applying on indeed every day to no avail.

Hi! Has anyone gotten married in the rotunda of the Luzerne county courthouse? If so, what was your experience like? Thanks!

What are everyone's favorite haunted attractions in the area? I love Reapers Revenge and we're considering going to The Circle or Screams this year, is it any good?
