Take no offence but I’m referring to the USA.
Bien here is the facts:
1) I am Canadian, Quebecer to be exact.
2) I get my groceries and gas from ‘Merica
3) The border people be like … interrogating.
4) Walmart.
So today I went to the USA and got groceries and gas like I usually do.
When doing so I crossed the boarder twice.
AND EVERY TIME; miss “… where do you live” “Do you know anyone there” “Are you sure thats all you bought ?” “where do you work”
I understand the main questions of who are you and what do you do and where did you go. Kay. good.
But then they have to double check or triple check.
“Do you know anybody in the states?” nope “are you sure?” yes I sure ” So you don’t know anyone” I just said no.
*well I mean i know Obama, Britney spears….
But I guess as a privilege of going to the states you have to endure all the questionings.
Have you ever had problems crossing the boarder ?
Peace.
The ups and downs of Twenty-Two. 
If I lived closer I too would do all my gas and some of my groceries in the States. Those US customs officers are funny. My favourite question is “How do you know these people?” As if in this day and age of internet the only way to know someone is if they live next door.
I know I feel like there is one thing to just double check but I feel like I’m getting in trouble every time I go. But In my opinion it is still worth it because the amounts I save on organic produce is AMAZING I mean I buy things like a bag of organic apples (12 per bag) for 4.97 and at the IGA in Huntingdon I pay 3.99 for only 3 organic apples!
It’s so true and what if I knew someone over there would it make a difference ? like I don’t see how that is relevant.
I think if you knew someone it would seem like a more “legit” reason to travel. I’m a little jealous, cheap organic produce is a good reason to cross.
I know eh saving sometimes 3$ on one item is such a great deal. Speaking of which I have to go buy dog food in the states sometime soon .
If I lived closer, I’d call shotgun!!
Sounds like a deal pretty lady 🙂
I never have any problems at the border.But then again i probably cross about 40-50 times every year.
I’m crossing at least once a week,
