I would recommend this to a friend because of the lesson it taught me, but I also may not recommend this film because its

    Hello, The reason I am contacting you guys today is that I would like to suggest adding Vending Machines with various snacks and drinks to TTC subway stations. As a daily commuter who has been using the TTC for a couple of years, I believe adding a vending machine to various TTC station platforms can help the commute for commuters to be a lot better. There are a lot of people who use the TTC every day and some of them travel a long way to get to their destination. Having a vending machine at different stations can allow commuters to grab a quick snack or drink to help their commute be so much better.…
