Testing::
I went up to my local convenience store/gas station/taco truck today which is a neighborhood staple. A Korean family has run the place for more than a decade.
I have decided that Koreans are my favorite brand of immigrant, I really like them. They are good sensible constructive people who add value and are neat, tidy, and responsible. I frequent some of their other businesses here and they're just great, always.
I paid in cash and the son who actually runs the business examined my $20 bill. I asked if that had become a problem and he responded in the affirmative that he had accepted some very very good counterfeits and was being careful, going on to describe the details. The local supermarket a few blocks beyond has also stopped taking $50 and $100 bills.
This gas station/mini-mart in the last two years has also installed iron grills over all the doors and windows after increasing break-ins.
This is where we are now. Even the good immigrants are being pillaged in the system.
