It is so funny with the mask. If I know a person really well I still recognize them walking down the street but other people that you see once in a blue moon you can't.

^Well these are customers who are coming in robbing the place. one of em threatened to jump over and beat me for tobacco at the same time an officer walked in for coffee. And they make it so much harder to identify especially as you can barely get a good look at their faces now. And now in NY you have to bring your own bags, businesses are hurting big time right now. I wouldn't be surprised if many start failing due to all of this, I just hope Biden can come up with some type of unemployment plan to undo Cuomo's damage with this or else New York is going to be right down in the hole.

That is scary! Luckily that officer walked in right on time!

^She always comes in at that time for coffee I never charge her I just give it to her thank goodness. She comes through a couple of times

**Anja**

Oh that's nice of her..

Sandy0401

^Yes, because if I didn’t give her the coffee and she didn’t come in who knows what could have potentially happened. She’s funny as heck too. When a guy was stealing his buddy called me insisting I go outside for a propane exchange telling me how he was camping and I said “who camps on November 24th and if they are who waits until after 1am for a propane exchange?” Like you’re going to check that during the day and I was telling her about it she goes, “I know I’m white but that’s too white. Ain’t nobody camping now unless they’re hiding something out. They need to stop with the bull.” I was dying because I was thinking about the same. I mean it’s cold and snowy and while yes you can camp in the winter you’re not waiting until it’s pitch black for propane you’re going to be on top of that ya know? When we go camping we check everything while it’s daylight especially as with camping it’s usually about 45mins away from our city.

I don't want to know what would've happened.. too scary to think about! You really are lucky..

Sandy0401

It is and like I said you can’t identify people with masks and now carrying your own bags doesn’t help at all.

**Anja**

True..

Sandy0401

if only we could go back to plastic bags

**Anja**

I have a re-usable one..

Sandy0401

^Those are what’s hurting businesses because people are filling em and walking out or in big stores don’t empty them fully, they take them out to scan and than put them back in on top of other products.

**Anja**

Oh no, that's not happening here, you can't get out of a supermarket without passing by the register, so they'll definitely see it if you try to leave with a full bag.. Once I saw someone trying to leave with something hiding under his coat, there were at least four guys who work at the store running after him.
I use a shopping cart, and I put my stuff in my bag after I payed.

^Thats what most people do but here it doesn’t matter. Criminals have more rights in New York than anything, legally I can’t even say anything to them when they walk out with bags or handfuls full of items.

**Anja**

Oh wow, that's stupid!!!
