DC,
Last weekend, I bought a brick of shells, a shirt, and a pair of slacks. Paid for all of it at the front register, without having to make a second trip.
(shrug) Probably a local thing. You might want to ask the manager about that.
The cashier sighed when she saw the shells. I immediately tensed up, anticipating trouble. She saw the tension, and said, "No, it's just that these things are heavy, and my wrists aren't real strong. I wouldn't work here if I didn't like guns and ammo."
I grinned for the rest of the day.

How does it become a man to behave toward this American government to-day?
I answer, that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it.
