@end3of6days9 What happens if the card declines after a person is inside?
English

This autonomous Dollar General looks like a cute little log cabin in the mountains… and there’s no one working inside.
It’s in Banner Elk, North Carolina, and appears to be one of the first (and only) fully cashierless Dollar Generals. You scan your credit card to get in, grab what you need, and just walk out. The cameras track everything and charge your card automatically. Want a receipt? Enter your phone number.
The convenience is pretty nice, especially since it’s open 24/7. At the same time, it does feel a little Big Brother with all the cameras watching every move.
Not sure how I feel about it yet.
Would you shop at a store like this, or does the no-staff + constant monitoring feel off to you?

@HistorianUSA1 Stores only know $$. If parents stop buying it, the stores won’t sell it.

Dad goes to Kohl’s to buy school clothes for his 8 and 10-year-old daughters.
Every single pair of shorts and jeans is “booty cut.” He says it looks like prostitute wear / hip hop hose clothes. Manager just shrugs and says that’s all they stock.
Bigger sizes don’t help.
This man is rightfully pissed. They’re sexualizing little girls on purpose and acting like it’s normal.
This is not a glitch. This is the product.

@DanTreacyASN Those of you saying he was talking about his parents or in-laws, why would he call them grandma and grandpa when talking to a police officer? Context clues matter. He wasn’t talking to one of his kids.
English

Tony Romo told police he was on his way to see “grandma and grandpa” when he was arrested.
Per publicly posted obituaries, all four of his grandparents appear to be deceased.

@ABC Where were the parents? 1/2 a mile is a long distance for a toddler to walk and not be missed.
English

A 3-year-old in Idaho took matters into his own hands to visit his grandmother after his mother told him he couldn’t see her — sneaking out the back door of his home and running half a mile barefoot down the street.
The daring escape, which was caught on home security footage, resulted in him safely arriving at grandma’s.

@wildfreakouts I drove 30 minutes to a restaurant that closed an hour before the posted time. They said it was bc business was slow. That was 6 years ago and I haven’t been back.
English

@wildfreakouts When I worked in a restaurant in the 90s, if the doors were unlocked, we served customers. The kitchen didn’t close until the doors were locked and drive through shut off. Both happened at the posted closing time.

We’re planning another USA trip this fall!🇺🇸
It’s going to be a road trip with college football as the main focus, but we’re also planning to check out plenty of other sports and unique American events.
The idea for this trip actually came from our visits to a few colleges on the last trip. Everyone told us how crazy it gets on gamedays, so now we want to experience it ourselves.
Now we need your expertise: Which colleges should we visit? What games are interesting? And what other events or activities (also non sporting related) are worth checking out in September/October?
So far we have these on our list:
- Oktoberfest in Helen, GA
- Texas State Fair
- Breeders' Cup in Kentucky

My favorite part of the movie. ❤️❤️

@ClutchPoints @TMZ He was able to reach for his cell phone with no problem.

@CrystalHope1979 I would only accept cash from them, so they can’t dispute the charges on a card.

🚨 JUST IN: The Orlando dine-and-dash couple who walked out on a $300+ tab at At The Diner just folded.
Adelia and Keith have called the owners, apologized, are paying the bill over the phone right now… and have agreed to a full public Zoom apology this Friday at 3pm — to the owners, the server, and every person on social media who saw what they did.
The diner is going live with it. Stay tuned!

@tapounder @ABC It’s a greater chance to win. The more tickets sold, the more likely someone will win the Jackpot.

Wednesday night’s drawing will be the first Powerball drawing open to players in the United Kingdom. abcnews.link/7MucxWE
English

@TheYellingKitty Nope! The more players, the sooner the jackpot is hit. That increases all players chances to win.
English

Aren’t Americans pissed that now they have even less chance to win their massive lottery now that us Brits can enter? 😭

@KevOnStage It’s very good! They’ve improved it. Also it’s only $3.99 on Wednesdays.

@_Lin_inc The $20K is a gift for them to do as they please with it.
English

Caller: “I have my daughter $20k for her wedding and she used only $10k now i want my $10k back”
Karen: We offered our daughter $20,000 for her wedding, matching what we gave our other daughter. But she and her fiancé only want to spend $6,000-$8,000 and use the rest for a house down payment. I’m embarrassed, 150 guests and a minimal budget feels cheap.
Dave: Is the $20,000 a gift?
Karen: Yes.
Dave: Then it’s her money. She can spend it or save it however she wants. You don’t get to dictate that.
Ken: And Karen, here’s the thing, be proud of her. Do you know how rare it is to see a young couple prioritize their financial future over a fancy party?
Karen: But what will people think?
Dave: Honestly? Half the guests, especially the men, are only there because they have to be. They don’t care about what to eat.
