For the same reason there is one on top of the #11 crane right now at BIW.
They are only lit during Christmas. But safer to leave it up all year long. Locals don't even notice them anymore except during Christmas at night when they are lit up.

Not around here. Near perfect conditions for three weeks in a row. And another good week ahead. I’m in northern Washington county. I have 20 taps and haven’t been too aggressive and I’ve gotten 9 quarts so far.

What a joke of a slap on the wrist. You can't spell Chipotle without e coli

Been there my whole life. The guy that owns that place just likes Christmas I think.

I’m sure chipotle sees $250k and a lost store as a drop in the bucket compared to workers gaining steam towards unionization across the country. Fine is abysmally low for what they did.

My sad syrup story... Years ago my sister brought home a boyfriend (her date for a family member's wedding), and while the rest of us were sleeping, he cracked open EVERY mini syrup jug (10) from our maple Sunday excursions and stuck his fingers in them and licked them off to "try all the different types." Disgusting.

My stepson is going to be part of this settlement. He got a job there right when they started hiring people to reopen. He worked maybe 3 or 4 weeks before they shutdown earning minimum wage. Be interesting to see how much he's going to get...

Just pour .15 of the jug out and leave the $17! Problem solved.

You seem to be getting down voted for a pretty honest mistake...

i would feel awkward in the interim, but i would pay what i could now, and come back with the rest later. happened just the other day at the pot store. i came up $2 short and the guy was like “don’t worry about it” and proceeded to take it out of his tip jar. i died a little inside but he was really cool about it. a week later i came back in and gave him the $2 and tipped some extra on top of that for the kindness. he really appreciated it. i think that would have been completely acceptable here, too

After complaints from residents about the unsightliness of the towers, measures were taken to blend the structure into the natural environment. /s

Reply to comment by Antnee83 in Chipotle to pay former Augusta workers $240,000 for breaching labor laws by benpinette
Yeah, this will stop them!
But don't worry, they can RELOCATE on their less-than-living wages to take advantage of that preferential hiring!
If it doesn't hurt it won't deter. Should have been 100k on top of other damages, per person.

Oh nice! Get a lot honey and bumble bees. Funny enough get very few hummingbirds. I plant a lot of Zinnias and the butterflies and goldfinches go after them.

That was quick. I wish people in Rhode Island were this helpful. Thanks for clearing my confusion.

Tradition in construction. “Topping out” signifies a project has reached its full height.
