This is so much more important than anything I’ve got going on today. I say we riot until they fix it.

2003 is a long time ago for me to remember specifically what cumbies looked like then. I still see a few that look like the bottom picture and if my memory serves me correct I saw the white ones popping up around turn of century when I was graduating high school...

Howabout that bigass mountain range when it said “10 miles west of Boston”

Still 99c. Would be hilarious to see a clicker doing Keno or Scratch offs

Seriously my first thought was "wait a minute, that's not what Cumby's would have looked like in 2003..." Glad I'm not the only one.

Or a dead mfs still holding the keno tickets would had me rolling around

You take your logic elsewhere! This is Reddit, sir. Good day!!

Ya know I'm starting to think they're showing alternate universe... Where the shape of your Cumbies can change whether or not you have a zombie outbreak. Shiiiiiiiit - we're not the worst timeline!

Watching this, I immediately felt something was off but couldn't tell what it was. Now that someone's pointed it out, I'm sure this is what got my spidey sense tingling.

Yeah, no Dunks!

I work for Cumbies facilities support, and the store on the bottom is referred to as a legacy store. Top looks to be a converted legacy store lol.

I literally thought they jumped to the Pacific Northwest.
Then it said 10 miles outside Boston….

The blue and orange look is for the trashier towns.

My town was definitely a blue and orange Cumbys

I've seen several that look like the top pic. So are you saying that they didn't use to look like that?
dj88masterchief OP t1_j6l1aam wrote
Yea, I think it was somewhere between 2010-2015 the white buildings showed up as a redesign and they got rid of their Orange and Blue brick stores.

Well shoot... TIL...
pattron30000 t1_j6l2016 wrote
That was the detail I was missing. I was like "There's NO WAY there's a Cumbies in Worcester that still looks like this. Besides, the cigarettes are WAY too cheap for this to be a current picture."

There's still a crappy one in Cumberland, RI.

My brother lives near a grungy AF ‘legacy store’ in Cumberland and I love it. Always soak it up when I go in knowing that one day soon it’ll be a thing of the past.

No it’s how they all used to look
CompasslessPigeon t1_j6ll1c1 wrote
Right!? Like what happened to Waltham? Suddenly the entire urban environment is replaced by a mountain range with a conveniently located Cumbies

CoolAbdul t1_j6mpvde wrote
I'm sure the air pump/vacuum is broken, so at least that part is accurate.
CoolAbdul t1_j6mpzki wrote
That's actually accurate. It's a depiction of Mount Watatic in Ashby. Much bigger than you think. Mount Watatic is 37,000 feet high.

OandKrailroad t1_j6mqk5a wrote
I worked at the Cumbys in North Grafton for 3-4 years. I actually zoomed in on the picture to see if I was behind the counter before I realized the store was very similar, but not this exact one. I like the legacy stores more than the newer looking ones.
bbymummy t1_j6mvg7l wrote
Legacy stores brings back my childhood memories and I love that. From my jobs perspective, they are much more likely to have the sewage back ups
OandKrailroad t1_j6mwx0y wrote
Thankfully that never happened where I worked. It was always a concern for me though because the sink where we made coffee and washed out the carafes had all its grey water pool in a tank and when there was enough of it, it was pumped out of the tank, up to the ceiling level where it traveled through the store, into the back room where it drained out into a big sink. It smelled absolutely putrid. I don’t know how it wasn’t a heath code violation.
Awesome place though. I miss working there sometimes!

Top is what is portrayed in the show for 2003 (the year the outbreak happened) outside of Boston. But Cumberland Farms looked like the bottom photo in 2003.
