That's the going rate, lol

A normal pack costs 5 dollars+ easily. At $5 per pack that would be 25 cents a cig at cost. 50 cents is double that so it's seen as the natural rate for a cig. If you note that I can buy a pack for 3 dollars, I can still the cigs off for around 7 dollars profit.

Not exactly a get rich scheme but also never hurts to have people handing you money at home for no effort or risk whatsoever.

Buying loose cigs is something from military school when we were high school students in uniform who couldn't just walk into a gas station and buy a pack. Adults doing this is goofy and sad.

They cost ten buck here cause of all the taxes, so you would hardly break even.

They're called Newport, not Support. Not paying anything is sad.

franchise consultant comes by the store tomorrow so i made sure the store was in perfect condition. everything was clean. mopped. swept. vacuum'd. he's always impressed with how i'm running the store but it's always nerve-racking knowing he's going to come in. so i like to make sure everything is ready for the morning.

Yesterday, I saw this young Asian chick stealing produce from a delivery that hadn’t been put away yet. She was just loading up her bag like she was at Walmart. She saw me looking at her and looked scared and I just smiled and winked and she went back at it lol

Lol @ stealing from a dollar store

Also lol @ stealing produce

The funny thing is, if you get caught the charge is gonna be the same as if you went for something more expensive

Up to a certain threshold, of course. If you steal enough the charge changes. But let's say you're stealing food. Stealing a candy bar is basically going to be the same charge as stealing a 20 dollar steak.

red flag fire warning in effect today through thursday. mass power outages throughout the bay area, including nearly all of my county, go into effect at midnight. it's about a week shy of the 2 year anniversary of The Fires. focusing my energy into doomsday prepping -- is spraying down my house and yard with a hose a useful preventative measure or do i look like a lunatic? i feel like a lunatic. this whole thing really ruined fire for me.
