Troublesome things you would ban

I would ban all self check out stations.

why?
Just wondering.
I think they are handy, certainly the library has been using them decades before shops cottoned on to them. As long as there are still conventional check out counters there as well I dont see a big problem.

some people dont need to buy all that much and its quicker.

I would ban all self check out stations.

We are about 20 miles from KY state line.

I have spent a great part of my life in big cities. I grew up in a suburb of Detroit.

Spent 8 years in Maine from 2005 to 20014. I left after my late second wife died as there was nothing to keep me there. That was in Rockland on the coast. Moved there from Orlando so my late second wife could be close to her elderly parents. By the time I left she was dead along with both of her parents. The whole 8 years I was in a strange place and isolated from my family in Orlando. I wrote about this many times in various posts and threads.

My wife is JesusLives and I will tell her that you said hello. She is my third and last wife. First marriage was a disaster and ended in 1984 after 6 1/2 hellish years. I wrote about this too many times. Live and learn. What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger. I must be a strong man then.

if shopping carts were banned, maybe you would get better customer service. lol

I think I would love to live in the country but would take a while adjusting to country ways. Just thinking of all that land as far as the eye can see. You can grow things, and have lots of animals. You can walk anywhere and not constantly bump into people. when people migrate from the country to the city, they do stick out and find it hard to adjust to city living. I think its sad they have to give up their land to go find jobs in the city. Its not that easy...or convenient at all. Sometimes things are just harder.

the hardest things about living in the city is that noticing just how people dont respect their environment, although I am supposing in the country there are pretty dirty broken down areas as well, and some farms have questionable practices..like the dirty rivers etc.

Shopping carts ( or as some call..trolleys) can be a problem.
Re: Aldi's..where you insert a quarter and can get it back...some people don't care and still leave them in the parking lot.
The solution at one store was a tall pole attached, that you couldn't get out of the store with the cart.(Think it was a Dollar Tree)
Of course, this limited the amount of shopping done..to what you COULD carry out by yourself..I guess for small shopping amounts.
Maybe 2 bags full..one for each ✋ hand.

Yes, there is a big difference in big cities and small towns. I've lived in bigger cities, but coming from a small town it just wasn't what I was used to so I never really liked it.

I did like that there are more stores and more options for things to do for fun in cities. What I could never get used to was the sirens that seemed to be going constantly day and night. Big cities seem to be much more dangerous.

Being away from family is difficult.

Relationships can be difficult. Sorry you hear you had so much trouble. Sounds like you have been blessed with a good wife now. Really is cool that you met her on this site. It is awesome how God works

I like people, and I don't like bagging my own groceries.

I also hear shopping carts referred to as buggies sometimes. Not that I would ever do such a thing

just saw this thread, jumping in.

the most troublesome thing i would ban- most governments and most of t v media.

My thing would be to ban shopping trolleys. I wouldnt ban shops, but just the trolleys. Why, well I think people ought to bring their own trolleys if they are wanting to buy soooo much stuff they cant even carry it. and then those trolleys wont end up dumped in the creek.
