  • Similar thoughts definitely exist for other things that are not regularly enforced. There is a well known Facebook group in my city that tracks the location of ticket inspectors in public transport so you can avoid them. And bar owners in neighborhoods warn each other whenever there are checks for underage drinking or smoking inside because these laws are also rarely followed.

    But I agree that if someone said similar things about health inspections it wouldn’t sit well with people. And it’s weird that something as dangerous as speeding or running red lights is not considered as important but rather as a minor thing.







  • I shop from small businesses when it’s more convenient (which is actually more common than you’d think when you don’t have a car).

    Mini markets are closer than supermarkets and stay open longer so I’ll often get groceries from there even if it’s more expensive.

    When looking for a specific piece of equipment there are some things that can’t be delivered or they’d take an eternity to arrive so I find which stores sell it and go to the physical store, which is usually a smaller local place.

    I don’t know if thrift shops count as small businesses but they’re also more convenient than going to big clothes shops.

    And I guess most restaurants are local businesses too.
