    Neighbor lady down the road works at DG. She was telling me that a trend has started where foreigners come in and get the full shipping boxes of overstock off of the top shelves and the tell her to scan the barcode on the box and expect to pay the individual price for the full case. They stand there and argue until she calls the local police dept. then they rush out. She said it happens at least once a week and it was never the same people.

    In my younger days in the city when I would get a parking ticket on my old green escort I would find a similar model escort and put my ticket on it. Sometimes it got paid (never received the mail notice for payment) sometimes it didn’t and I got the notice and had to pay ;)

    I went to Traffic Court when I was a teenager. Decided to put the Out of Order bag from another parking meter over mine. Just as I was about to get away, the ticket maid gave me a parking ticket. Lol. Lesson Learned.

    Many years ago I and a friend had just parked in a great spot, we were so thrilled we had scored such a parking spot that I forgot to put the money in the meter, I wasn't trying to cheat I simply forgot. When we had just gotten out of sight , I remembered, and my friend and I ran back, and see the cop writing the ticket, I began yelling , "wait I just forgot" "wait" ...but he said he had written the ticket but told me no worry's I could go to court and the judge will toss it out. So I went to court and the judge let it go.

    Same thing happened in almost the same spot with the same friend maybe forty years later, but we couldn't run fast enough LOL, and the cops got away. haha.
    This time I just paid it online.

    News reports and YouTube video's seem to suggest that widespread chaos would ensue resulting from the US Government shutdowns with no food stamps being available come the 1st of November. Hope they can come to some agreement and end the shut down as this does not bode well in suburbia.

    This is a sad result of people thinking that the government is not run by people who only want to harm them.
