Reply to comment by [deleted] in How is the dating scene in Providence? by lisachung93

Why does Madrid attract such entitled d-bags? Every time I go there, at least one person is acting like a complete asshole. This is a legit question; I haven't lived here long.

Haven't actually been to Madrid -- what's the price point? Generally, the number of dollar signs a place has is commensurately proportional to its assholicity.

Pricey. But so damn good. Amazing pastries. The older woman (owner?) often working the counter is always so nice- I wish people wouldn’t be asses to her.

I’ve only ever gotten croissants and their Americano. The croissants (huge, amazing) are $5.50, the Americano is around $3.20. The croissant may seem pricey, but IMO it’s worth it for what it is.

Just finished making a similar comment. It’s pricey but the pastries are made by hand and it shows. As another commenter said, the croissants are expensive but they take 3 days to make.

That being said, most people here are pretty sedate if a little… WASPy. But I’ve also met and spoke to some of the nicest people in Providence here who’ve gone out of their way to be kind.

Truth be told, I don’t really have that same experience and I’m here often. But it is a more “affluent” area so perhaps there are more entitled folks? This was definitely the most egregious example by far.
