If this is the old Brownies,I've never seen prices that high.I had been noticing that no cars were ever in their parking lot.When I went in with the intention of making a purchase I did an about face when I saw that their prices were DOUBLE what I normally pay.I'm not trying to add insult to injury but good grief.
ReplyDeleteAll these strict handgun laws are working out real good huh? To bad we didnt have some super duper standard cap clipazein laws in place it would have prevented this violent crime all together right?
ReplyDelete10:31 what the hell are you talking about! Sober up and try again later!
ReplyDeleteThe armed robber was already locked out, and the employee let him back in the building?
ReplyDeleteI believe it is owned by the same people that own Tax Free Liquors behind Wawa, which is where they want locals to shop. The one on the highway is just to catch unsuspecting out-of-state drivers who think prices are low compared to NY, etc.
ReplyDeleteThey also primarily bought it just to keep someone else from buying it and competing against them.

what would you have done with a handgun pointed at your face?
A business that keeps it's days or part of them in the cash register over night. Hmmm, how many people know this. They should be dropped into a locked safe that the clerk does not have the combination to. It's like an invite to be robbed. Camera pictures not yet available ??
ReplyDeleteHmm, interesting

ReplyDeleteIt could have just been the change in the cash register for the next day. We used to keep the same amount in the register each night.
