Restaurants adding fees

[jmc]

I have lived in states where the LCB from opposing states monitor local liquor shops for out of state buyers then stop the buyers when they cross back into their home state.

Ha! That's almost as bad as the "Revenuers" checking fuel filters on diesel trucks driven to a farm auction. (Looking for red dye)

I wasn't around at the time, but I'd imagine there were plenty of crabby old farts who complained when self-service supermarkets came along in the 1930s. Imagine the indignity of having to take a can of beans off the shelf yourself, I expect to be waited on!

I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I've been asked to show a receipt on the way out of a store. I know Sam's club used to do that, but it's been 20+ years since I've been in one of them.

What do you drive that you can refuel in 30 seconds? I can't even refill my lawnmower that fast. No idea what the 45 minutes you're referring to is. If it's using a self-checkout, you're obviously not clear on the concept. It isn't that difficult.

Never heard of that. Then again, I'm always emphasizing "NO ICE!" in my drink. It's cold already. I'm not paying soda prices for a glassful of ice cubes.

Years ago, I bought an iced coffee drink at Dunkin Donuts, asked for no ice. they only filled the cup 3/4.

In this case the state line divides Texarkana.

I could see myself telling them that their ****** coffee is too precious for me to drink, pouring it down a drain or planterpot, then walking out. The minor traumatization of the employee would hopefully get them to think twice about ever doing that again, or even working there anymore!

Curious how one makes iced coffee without ice???
