so for some reason it's impossible to buy cigarettes in austin. on the edge of downtown, no bodegas, closest gas station is a mile
-
-
-
but I find out there's this grocery that sells them, three in a straight shot, about 1/2, 3/4, and one mile respectively
-
so I go to the first one a couple months ago, they don't have camel unfiltered. go to the second one, and they do
-
ask for a carton "oh, sorry... we don't sell cartons" "that's ok. can I have ten packs?" "sure!" bags them up and hands them to me, cool
-
so I go there a few more times and it's fine. then two weeks ago I go and it's completely remodeled and I *think* moved one storefront over
-
like I stopped in front of what I thought the door was and there was no door, but the store was right there next to it
-
and they're out of camel unfiltered. ok. so I go to the third one
-
ask for ten packs. the guy looks at me like I'm an idiot "uh, do you mean a carton?" "yes! please, a carton" sells me a carton
-
so I go to the second one today. the woman insists that not only do they not sell camel unfiltered, they *never* have
-
I dispute this, but she is quite resolute. so I go to the third one again. ask for a carton
-
"sorry... we don't sell cartons" "oh, uh. ... ok. can I buy ten packs?" "sure!"
-
she goes up on a ladder and grabs a carton off the shelf and rings me up
-
and gives me a ten percent discount for buying a carton

they probably are, grocery chains are famous for that
-
bait-and-switch was made illegal because of them
-

I'm not sure but I think so. grocery stores and car dealerships
