Miscellaneous
Yesterday I stopped at a gas station to buy some gas cards for a friend. I needed a particular brand/franchise.
It was a bad sign when I was driving along the frontage road to it and there were three police cars stopped, lights flashing, sitting on the edge of the road.
Then I go in. It's like the most ghetto gas station I'd ever been in - prepay (which is very unusual in my city), glassed-in counter/staff (bulletproof, I'm guessing), people milling about in gangsterwear, and a dude trying to push around in front of everyone yelling at the counter guy that he wouldn't sell him a blunt instantly. He later went out, came back in, and threw a dollar at the gas station dude and grabbed a cigar from around the glass window and dashed out.
I ended up just leaving because things were pretty chaotic. As I was leaving, there was an additional cop car or two on the frontage road, and they were handcuffing some dude.
I ended up finding another station of that franchise which was a bit less crazy.
