Honestly, we just pulled over to check out that scorpion thing—you know, the one everyone talks about. No weird noises coming from inside, so either it was empty or they’d already scared off the last victim. It was a Saturday afternoon, though, so they were probably closed. Still, it’s a fun little detour. Wish there were more weird roadside spots like this around here. ---

I haul scrap metal between New Jersey and Rhode Island, and for years, I’d always drop it off at Exeter Scrap. The girl in the scale house was always fine, but today Dave acted like I’d personally offended him. Guy was downright nasty. Back in the day, you kept customers happy—now? I’m done. Next time, I’m taking my business to Metal Commodities. Funny enough, when I’m in Jersey, I go to United Scrap, but let’s just say you better bring your own security. ---

Every. Single. Time. I walk into that scale house, the woman behind the counter yells at me for something. Never a *"Hey, how’s it going?"*—just instant frustration. I could probably get better prices anywhere else, but the real kicker? I’d actually feel like a customer instead of a criminal. At this point, it’s not even about the money—it’s about not feeling like I’m in trouble just for showing up.

The lady in the scale house? Absolute sweetheart. But the guy handling precious metals? Total jerk. Told me, *"We don’t do pennies here,"* like I’m supposed to feel bad for trying to make every dollar count. We were there over an hour, waiting on the loader to move a pile, and he still gave us grief for leaving before closing. I’ll bring my cast iron and light scrap back, but he can keep his attitude—precious metals are going somewhere else. ---

This place is solid for scrapping. Prices change with the market, but that’s how it goes. The woman at the scale is friendly and knows her stuff. Even unloaded a heavy elevator there—no issues. ---
