New York recently got rid of plastic bags at supermarkets. You use a reusable bag or pay 5¢ for a paper bag. My local Stop & Shop, in a fairly well to do neighborhood, had most of the carts and all their baskets stolen. I just drove around the neighborhood and there are carts everywhere. In between cars. On the side walk. If Elon Musk ever recruits for a one way trip to Mars, I'm going.

They did this bag thing in Oregon also. About 10 years ago most of the shops installed locks on their carts that if they try to leave the lot the front wheels lock so stolen carts are not much of a thing anymore.

Sounds like some crazy lost chaos in your area. I just no longer have an unlimited supply of paper sacks to use as fire place starter anymore, they are valuable now.

You'd love it in Europe...:laugh:....

Deposits on carts in slot devices equivalent to a couple/three bucks....The equivalent of cattle grids on carpark exits that make the wheels of your cart stick if trying to cross.....

No doubt these days...Drones.....Hit squads.....sigh....

When purchasing this guitar you can only stand to win. If you are dissatisfied with the quality, look or sound of this guitar you will receive a full refund; however, if you are satisfied, you have just saved yourself hundreds of dollars!!! So go on, treat yourself to the Tubas you have always wanted.
