I got a drivers license in 15 min at the dmv, drove to a gun store and told them which gun I wanted. I did the background check and by the time I walked to the other side of the store to get two ammo boxes I had passed. whole thing took about hour and a half and most of that was driving and choosing which I want.

defunding the police is just as stupid as defunding the fire department. that’s like taking a child’s parents away because a few parents around the country were bad people. There’s hundreds of millions of people in the United States… some are going to be idiots/assholes. Some of those people are going to be cops therefore some cops will be assholes/idiots, but that doesn’t mean we abolish the position completely. Policing doesn’t stem from slavery, police positions have predated American slavery by hundreds and hundreds of years so that’s also not an argument. There should be either more funding/training or stricter financial transparency on spending with us the tax payers. Education on civil rights should be the main focus at the end of the day. Not pulling over people for going 5 over trying to collect as much revenue as possible (then they are just meter maids with bigger engines). They pull over so many people because all of those stops are recorded.. so if they ever move departments they can see how “valuable” of an asset each officer is. I believe this leads to over policing instead of “protecting and serving” considering I see cops speeding all over and texting more than anyone else

I’m not complaining I used to be a bagger it was my first job in high school and it was a position itself that I applied for. Was just curious if it was a cultural thing etc or if it’s just trying to save money by switching to self checkout and abandoning the position itself. it’s called a service industry for a reason by the way. marginal savings by bosses is what I assumed it to be but yeah sure 😂

you could also ask for camera footage if they have it there
