the parks department has one too. im guessing that Ford is practically giving them away to establish the brand in people's minds.

reminds me of when they tried to do a second Unite the Right rally and it was like a dozen proud boys being protected by two hundred cops from one hundred counter protestors as a ton of press watched on.

Reply to comment by Tatar_Kulchik in Amazon to close eight Go convenience stores in cost-cutting move by geoxol
it was a ballerina-model joyously dancing through what looked like a particularly drab looking convenience store to grab some prepackaged "fresh" food and tap her card at the kiosk to checkout without any cashier.
like the selling point was that these stores had all the fun of a bus station Quick Check but without any people around.

i was hoping this was because of a pending investigation but legit staying out all night every night with the mayor sounds absolutely exhausting
then again, still could be a yet to be public investigation.

this is what happens when so much of this city is run by people chasing money rather than actually giving a fuck about the city itself.
fun fact: there's an invite-only app for some finance folks that allows them to control the lights on top of some skyscrapers just for funsies

Reply to NYC subway booth clerks to become free-roaming station agents today by hiegel
all the folks complaining about this being a "patronage job" must never actually take the train because anyone with a stroller, wheelchair, bike, luggage, etc use them regularly to get on the train. they're also the ones who get you through when the turnstiles break or cant collect payment, let first responders into the station quickly, give tourists directions, and are essentially New York's defacto Lost and Found service.
sure, replace them with an automated service kiosk that would be contracted to some Albany crony who would go massively over budget and take a decade to roll out across the city only for them to constantly malfunction or break.
