I used to do the cross border shopping thing once in a while when I was
working late shifts. I would to a Topps store just over the border in
the middle of the night. It was sometimes a little challenging to
navigate around the skids loaded with boxes parked in the aisles for all
re-stocking that was going on. It could be worse. There always seems
to be the dullards who think that the narrow spaces to get past the
skids and boxes are the proper place to stop and look around or to park
their cart while they go to get something else.
