Same, everyone is crossing their fingers that they’ll give us the day just because we haven’t had one this year. I’m trying not to get my hopes too high but fuck, I would be so happy.

Wrong place at the wrong time? We are talking about minor disciplinary issues, like speaking out of turn, being distracting, etc. These are not bad kids, and these issues don't mean they have bad parents or role models. it's normal child behavior. Punishing normal child behavior by taking away their one outlet to blow off steam during the day is just asking for more issues. It is completely counter-productive and frankly, stupid.

No one is saying "don't punish bad behavior." we are simply saying that this particular punishment doesn't work and is in fact making things worse.

Look, some disruptive kids do have genuine issues with inattentive parents. But the majority of the time it's just kids being kids and needing an outlet to release their energy. Taking that option away does absolutely NOTHING to help the issues but rather makes them worse.

Affinity is requiring you to order online before pick up, but you can literally do it in the line and it’s fine. Last week they were having an issue with their system where it was clearing out all orders at the end of the night so any orders placed for next day pickup got deleted. But I just reordered right there and got my order.

It was very fast. Some of the windows are medical only and some are rec only. But other than which window you pick up from, the experience seems to be the same for both kinds of customers there.

A lot of comments about "trumpy Italians" but that's softening the issue a bit-- East Haven has a lot of racists. I’m an Italian-American and I love the culture and all that but I would never live in East Haven because I'm not a racist and I don't want to live with that many racists.

If racism doesn't bother you, I'm sure it's a fine place to live. Otherwise, I'd second the suggestion to look elsewhere.
