The owners didn't bat an eye when they came to pick it up either (likely they had a cut of the profits).

Whenever there's a button for loose tobacco products on the register...it will tell you two things... 1. You're in a hood 2. Watch yourself at all times. Don't just roll into town and dap your boy off in front of some strange convenience store. Y'all gotta hurry up out that jurnt before you might get got. (inside joke).

Only in the neigborhood can you buy squares one at a time.

I had no clue what a loosie was until a few years ago when I spent some time in CT. I'm repping PG (1975-93) also and I don't EVER remember seeing or hearing about them. To paraphrase- "It's not a black thing, it's not a white thing...it's a ghetto thing." And I STILL have no idea what a Turtle is... I got your back Ashley!

The problem is that she actually ASKED if it sounded dumb because she was white. No Ashley, it sounded dumb because it was dumb. ETS and smokedog, don't forget about the rest of us in the neighborhood. I'm living that hard Fairfax County life. Thanks for the spare change.
