A few months ago I moved to the north Chicago loop where there’s a lot of bars.
Me and the SO were binge watching something, and had a hankering for ice cream. So I went to 7-11 a few blocks away to get some at 11pm.
Some guy right in front of me who was buying a tallboy to go got mad about having to pay 7 cents for a paper bag, and went ballistic, making death threats, throwing quarters at the cashier who just calmly called police. Big guy too, but it seemed to be all talk (didn’t produce a weapon or anything).
When I was checking out, I asked the guy if this was a regular occurrence. “Oh yeah. All the damn time.”
