I walked into a Detroit convenience store with a friend on beach daly back in the early 2000s.
First time in my life I had ever seen anything like it.
Shocking was the realization such efforts were required to survive.
He moved shortly afterwards.
A lot of YT videos from CharlieBo13, where he goes into the hoods and goes into convenience stores, very enlightening.
Next time your on YouTube check out a Chanel called “Charliebo313”
The convenience store videos are epic and show the true behavior of real ‘hood rats.
I don’t know how the store clerks do it.
