Exactly what does “poor” sound like, anyway? I didn’t realize sounding like an Ivy League professor was a prerequisite for buying jewelry.

Given that these folks can’t tell the difference between an NBA player/customer and a robber, I don’t think they have very good judgement on the matter.

Asking what time you close is suspicious? Sounds like this person needs a new line of work in that case. I would imagine a large number of the phone calls they receive are that exact question.

Man, where I live now it’s totally acceptable to pay for small things with the equivalent of $100. Like, buy a coke at the store with a $100. Of course, cash is king here.

There’s a place I used to go to in Houston that DID have $1 margaritas on the rocks some certain night of the week. They were a craft beer bar (one of those 100+ on tap places) and had these specials now and then.

Nope.

Looks perpetually dirty.

Unusual feelings in particular places are so odd.

Fucking NOBODY says there isn’t a ton of racism in Eastern Europe. Are you kidding me? What is this strawman you’ve constructed?

So I take it from your previous comment that you are in favor of enabling xenophobia? I mean, as long as you’re not the target, i’m sure?

Just to issue a coda to your comment, my brother was diagnosed with thyroid cancer when he was six (before I was born), he went into surgery a week later and died in surgery. Of course this was in a far less advanced time for medicine, but I wonder what would had happened had he not had the surgery?

Pop sounds like something a toddler would say. Coke is a real product.

Mmm, xenophobia. It’s the 1930s all over again!

Funny how you think being anti-xenophobia is REALLY somehow intolerant.

gives them more freedom than they could ever get in 95% of the world

I don’t know that setting up the infrastructure for this to exist, maintaining that infrastructure, marketing to get players to play (so that there actually are pots to pay out) can be called “virtually nothing”.
