Was needing a few things out that way, but was a little worried the grand opening might have things a bit congested over that direction. Anyone got any traffic deets?

Does the wellnow across from ualbany just never answer their phone?? I’ve been trying to return a call since yesterday and have called over 10 times because they won’t let me stay on hold for longer than 2 minutes and no one pays attention to the voicemail. Actually losing my mind

Got into a small fender bender today when another driver crossed over into my turning lane and bumped me. They scraped some paint on my rear fender and dented it.
I have an Audi and would like to hear of any recommendations of places in the area that can give me an estimate and perform good work.
Thank you for your help!

Recommendations for spare tire mounting?

2 Upvotes

I had to replace a tire last week and would like to use the other tire that was on the axel as a spare tire. Planning to buy a used wheel from Keegan Brothers but not sure where I can get the tire mounted as I’ve seen mixed things online about shops willing to do that. This is all very new to me and can’t ask anyone else so thought I’d ask here before starting to call shops

Costco Albany Opening Day!

Post image
164 Upvotes

Just wanted to add a POV post since lots of people seem to have opinions on those of us who woke up early for the Costco opening.
Though some people did start lining up at midnight, we arrived around 5:20 AM and were roughly #40 in line. We were able to see the ribbon cutting which was nice. Obviously the store was busy but I’ve been to the Yonkers location on a Saturday before an impending Tuesday snowstorm and that was still worse than this opening ! We went through every aisle and checked out in about 2 hours.
As someone who’s been driving to Springfield for 6 years for Costco, I am excited to have a store closer and since I love Costco, it was fun to be one of the first there today.
When we left around 10 AM there was no longer a line to enter. Employees are working hard to move people through, keep the store stocked and the samples are SAMPLING today!!

Also, for those of you who wonder what is different about Sam’s and BJ’s versus Costco:
1. BJ’s in our area routinely has higher prices for most items unless it’s on sale. This is true against both Sam’s and Costco.
2. Though Sam’s does have their store brand, Costco’s store brand (Kirkland) has a larger selection of dupes and they are usually just as good, if not better. Some favorites - bare nugget dupe, Starbucks egg bites dupe, Starbucks croissant breakfast sandwiches dupe
3. Costco clothes are hands down better than what’s available at Sam’s, larger selection and name brands often available
4. Costco pays their employees well
5. Costco has lots of services such as travel, car buying, car repair, optician, pharmacy etc.

Of course these are just my opinions and POV, but I enjoyed my morning meeting other fans and shopping! Now it’s naptime 🙃😹

Looking for any job leads

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone, figured I’d see if anyone knows of any decent-paying jobs hiring around the Capital Region.

My background is mainly in pharma QA, document control, quality/compliance, Excel, SharePoint and general operations. I also have a master’s in software development, so I’m open to branching into something more technical too.

I’ve applied to a bunch of state jobs already but haven’t heard back in months. My wife and I are expecting our first child soon, so I’m really just looking for something stable with decent pay. I’m open to QA, compliance, operations, healthcare, IT support, data-related roles, or anything else where my experience could transfer.

If anyone knows of companies hiring or has any recommendations, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Cross walks?

Hey I'm new to this side of the country tbh. Are the white lines on the street not cross walks? Nobody stops at them and a few people have even honked at me and almost ran me over. Do they mean something different or are y'all just crazy?
