My daughter lives in the DC, and she said, “We usually get things first.” So I found it interesting you would report that. If the Bolsheviks are feeling it, it’s going wide.
My bank just ran out of twenties and a nearby bank closed. So fifties are it. I have a recommendation. Always tip the clerks in the convenience stores and small stores every visit. Leave them a couple of bucks. If there’s a mandate, they will take care of you. If there’s a shortage, you will get good stuff. If your bill is a big one, they will break it. And when you walk in, you are treated like royalty.
Good advice.
Good advice.
The other day I went to the bank and was surprised by a sign on the door saying the teller desk was closed due to a staffing shortage. Only the drive-thru was open.
I like to tip in chocolate. I pick up one of the specialty candies buy it then give it to the clerk. It is out of the norm and they really seem to like it.
I do the same when at a hotel. You get really good service because they remember you. A couple dollars and a Godivai chocolate go a long way. One place I went every one called me the candy man. Got the best taxi that time from the doorman. Bigger taxi’s not the tiny cramped ones.
