They didn’t want to sell the cigarette separately or a cop would show up to stand on their neck.
So much plastic 😢
I wish we had a plastic tax. Everything is wrapped in so much unnecessary plastic.
NJ had a single use plastic bag tax. To get around it companies increased the thickness of plastic bags and gave it for free. Apparently the thickness is what separated a single use bag with a reusable one. Politicians are clowns 🤡.
Politicians are clowns is what you said while it was companies skirting the spirit of the law by exploiting a loophole.
Amazing that is your take
Imagine writing laws as a job and leaving such an obvious loophole.
Yes, politicians are clowns.
Same up in Connecticut. I have so many crappy “reusable” plastic bags from Target pickup orders during the height of the pandemic. I can’t bring myself to get rid of them because they’re “reusable”, so I use them to hold donations for the thrift store and get rid of them that way. I also use them as packing material.
I have other, nicer bags I use when I go to shopping.
Was grocery shopping earlier and the guy behind me at the checkout had only a frozen pizza and a pack of chocolate bars. I’m now imagining that to be the guy’s dinner. 🥴
Been there
Dinner of champions 💙 Don’t hate on the struggle meals.
Damn, that’s expensive. Is this a gas station?
This looks very much like an Australian service (gas) station called Coles Express. $5 is pretty average for this deal which is typically a 600ml Coke and a Chocolate (candy) bar of your choice. These darts look to be added as a joke. I could be way off, but that’s what it looks like to me.
Looks like a woolies, Coles wouldn’t use so much green
Bloody close, it’s a woolies servo from what I reckon.
3pm tradie knockoff special if I’ve ever seen one!
I’d bet money it’s an Australian Woolworths (it can still be a woolies at a servo though). Just pointing it out since AUD $5 ≠ USD $5
Good point. IIRC Australia also has relatively high tobacco taxes, right?
Yeah an ever increasing tax on durries. From memory a deck is upwards of $50 for 20 - probably more since I’ve not been on the darts for a long time now.
We’ve also got a massive issue with disposable vapes and black market durries now too!
Damn, that’s a lot! The $5 cig-and-coke makes a lot more sense like that, that’s $2.5 per cigarrette.
I used to buy 40 at the golf club (unmonitored vending machine) as a kid, selling loosies for $1. Margins were great back then.
Have yourself a smoke and a coke
I prefer a cigar and a waffle
I take my waffles blue
Flapjack and a cigarette?
Bong and a blintz?
There’s no pleasing you Mr. Powers
I literally read this in his voice
Coke and a smoke. Cant go wrong with that combo tbh.
