The Nerve Of People On Halloween

[Parche]

I was at the local minimarket on Halloween, I know the owners, so i get my stuff and talk with the
cashier for a while, and parents were bringing their kids into the market for trick or treating
the cashier kid did give them all candy, I have never seen that before, going into a store for trick or treating, I was thinking those parents have 'balls'
The cashier was good about it, they are Korean, But I was scratching my head in amazement.....

Have you ever seen that?

:shrug: :hi:

1. I hope you gave them some Chick tracts.

2. i've seen it done with kids whose parents ran a neighboring store

in the same shopping center, to use an example...

and i've seen a shopping mall advertise trick-or-treat to get some traffic inside...


hell -- when i was in grad school, neighborhood kids would come into my dorm trick or treating...someone explain THAT, please

3. I thought that was common practice.

Is that unusual some places?

4. The couple who run the corner market in my neighborhood

stand outside and hand out candy, and they actually stay open late, too. They have a blast, they know all the kids in the neighborhood, and Mila told me she loves seeing all of them dressed up.

5. Yeah, they totally have done it for decades where I live!

And some of the stores give out the regular-size candy bars, too. I didn't do it as a kid, though. Sounds slightly tacky...

6. Yes.

Quite a bit.

They even open the local malls to trick or treaters so they aren't wandering the streets.

7. A lot of stores do that

especially at malls. It's been common for a while.

8. kids are welcome to trick or treat at the stores in town

it's like a homey, small town feel--friendly and fun.

9. Yep! Working at Ruby Tuesday..

...we handed out candy to kids who came in to trick or treat us.

10. My wife took our kids trick or treating in our local "village"...

the kids came home with a shit load of candy so I guess the stores were expecting them!!

12. All the stores here do it

It's safer for the kids than knocking on doors, particularly in my neighbourhood full of drug houses.
