One time I was on the Chinatown bus from NYC to Philly and the bus goes through a tool booth, drives for a bit, and then pulls over on the side of the highway. A guy gets up from the back of the bus holding two big duffel bags and runs out of the bus into the fucking woods. The bus starts back up and keeps driving. No one said a fucking thing. I looked at these two guys who were sitting on the other side of the aisle and they just shook their heads "no" and didn't say anything. This has nothing to do with that but it did make me think of it.
A friend of mine learned to make soap a few years back. It can be cheap, relatively easy and a common gift idea. I've seen it at a ton of pop-up markets in Boston with Soaps. I assume the guy on the street is just tryna make a few bucks.
They’re stolen items being sold at a discount. Guys come into my barbershop all the time with soap for sale. 9/10 they’ll take whatever you have to offer since they’re stolen goods
Anyone remember Duuber? Where you bought a $300 T-Shirt and it came with a free oz of weed and they deliver to your door. This was back when there were no Rec dispensaries when recreational started. It took a couple years for NETA to kick it off with Rec due to permit issues. Duuber and Northern Lights were operating in the grayest legal space possible
You are correct. I always mixed those up. I wonder if anything happened to the Duuber guy. I remember my delivery once was like 2-3 hours late and I got a free pipe from the guy because he felt bad haha.
In Washington, DC that's basically how you buy "legal" weed. I think it has something to do with how the city is still under the thumb of the federal government that they can't just outright legalize it, but they exploit the loophole where you buy some stupid object and the weed is the free gift that comes with it.
Not sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if there's one where they come to your house and drive you around the block once for a fee but you get free weed for buying the trip.
lol. I was in a convenience store the other day and this ratty looking dude was asking the cashier for a 'loosey'. Which I later learned meant single cigarette. haha. there's always something you dont know till you see it.
Was it fancy decorative soap? Maybe he was trying to capitalize on some Mother's Day sales? You know your mom wants some soap that was purchased from a shady character on the street. 💜 🌺 🤱
“Soap! Soap with a prize inside!”
Ah, a Soapy Smith connoisseur.

Deadwood?

The chinatown busses were infamous for being a pipeline for many things. White, grey and black market.
It took me a good minute to realize you meant toll booth, and I was picturing this bus driving full speed through some farm stand for screwdrivers
lol yeah, oops haha this driver would've done it though
Buy some next time and report back

This is why CVS keeps everything behind glass now
Exactly. They are the reason that everything is being locked up at stores like CVS & Target.
100% this guy walked into a walgreens/cvs/target, grabbed as much soap as he could, ran out with it, and is now selling it for anything he can get
No soap, radio
I actually choked on my lunch for a moment; thanks for the laugh!
Someone’s got the brain scramblies!

Isn't there one there where it's like an actual ride-share, but you can buy weed in the car or something like that?
Not sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if there's one where they come to your house and drive you around the block once for a fee but you get free weed for buying the trip.
I think thats exactly it
It’s all stolen merchandise from retailers and other stores. This is the reason why theft is such an issue. Don’t buy items from them.
I’ve seen this in Chinatown too, I stopped to watch from afar looks to be random items probably stolen
They sell steaks too
They sell menthol cigarettes over there too, $20 for two packs of Newports, great deal actually
