It’s only first names. Not a big deal.

Dollar tree needs name change to 5 dollar tree…..

Nothing wrong with horse meat if you're hungry enough, I'm not.

I think you could just go with 'don't buy had station sushi' and be much better off.

Maybe, but the day-old sushi is half price.

Traveler is acceptable.
I called them Irish to differentiate between non-Irish 'travelers' most of whom do not work, just live a very alternate lifestyle, supported by state benefits, and scrounging.

Many years ago when I worked on farms, we had the same families of true Romany Gypsies, not travelers, with horse and caravans come each year to pick up potatoes, until machines put them out of a job.
It's a complicated world to sort out.

I didn't.

Has anyone been in contact with this guy and brought the steaks?

I guess it's a way to make a living!!

Pine or oak?

He always has some excuse why he has such a deal…. Tried it one and the meat was very inferior.

It's a scam. They tell you they just delivered to a neighbor and they have some left over to sell cheap. Or the neighbor ordered it, and when they went to deliver he wasn't home, so would you please take delivery for your neighbor, and pay for it. None of this is true. It is a total scam. It's either horse meat, or old meat, and all of it is bad. This scam has been around for years. It's not new. DO NOT BY MEAT FROM A TRUCK!!!!!!!!

Cash of course!

Florida has their cousins from Iowa here, doing the same thing. Evidentually is is a thriving business because the trucks and equipment look like show stuff. Very fancy and chrome galore.

I agree. It's not a big deal, but I just choose to not do it.

Although, I can understand that a woman living alone may feel uncomfortable if almost every house on the street has 2 names on it.

I bought some steaks from him last year. They tasted like horse meat. Awful, tough, no flavor. NEVER AGAIN
