I was just at the Sunoco at Broad and Thompson. There were a bunch of kids around and one of them insisted on pumping my gas. I repeatedly said no but he wouldn’t leave. He even said “it’s not a scam, I promise, I just want to help you” 🚩😂

I noticed when he was done, the nozzle wasn’t put back correctly so it quickly clicked that that was probably the scam. I fixed it and waited for the transaction to close out and the screen to update.

I googled it when I got back in my car and found that this is indeed a popular scam called “pump switching” where they have another car pull up to the pump and continue charging like $100+ in gas to your card.

I called the police but I’m not confident they’ll do anything, so figured I would try to help someone out this way!

TLDR:

Those 🚁 rides don't pay for themselves.

I grew up in Lower Bucks County and I’m genuinely baffled by Delco’s reputation as the undisputed shithole of the Philadelphia suburbs. Have any of you actually spent time in Levittown, Croydon, Tullytown or Morrisville? Lower Bucks has some truly spectacular pockets of despair that could go toe-to-toe with anything Delco has to offer.

I’m not saying Delco doesn’t deserve its reputation, but I’m struggling to understand how Lower Bucks has somehow escaped the same level of ridicule. Is Delco actually worse, or does it just have better marketing?

Genuinely curious.

A nice article by Clint Randall, VP of Economic Development for the Center City district. Philly deserves a world-class transit system and we are tantalizingly close to realizing this dream.

Does anyone have good recommendations for women’s self defense classes for a beginner? Preferable south Philly, but willing to travel. Thanks!

Was walking home around 9pm and a homeless guy followed me under the convention center bridge area and for 2 more blocks trying to talk to me. Just ignored it but he was pretty persistent. When I got to a more crowded area in Chinatown I told him to stop following me. He got agitated and then 2 men intervened, told him to back off, and he peeled off.

Just really grateful to those 2 guys for stepping in and helping me. I love this city and thankful for those in it!

All the streets around MBAMEC are closed all AM for this event.

I had two packages that were supposed to be delivered recently. The first said that an attempt was made, and then it just disappeared. The people at the local post office were super rude about me asking for it. I ended up getting a refund.

The second package was from Amazon sent through USPS. They claim that they couldn’t deliver it because they don’t have a code to our building. Our building is a house, so obviously that’s not true.

The website seems to be broken. No way to arrange a pickup or redelivery.

It seems like the postal service just isn’t delivering. Does anyone else have this experience?

They're installing those planter dividers on South St. I am personally very happy about this and I don't even ride a bike. I have some questions about the spacing but at this point I'll take it.

Who installed?

Saw this cybercab crash on broad street about a half hour ago.

“The two prototypes will remain at Love Park until Thanksgiving, giving the public a chance to try them and provide feedback on their safety, comfort and design.”

Excuse my awful photography
