    The general store in the town I lived in allowed people to run a tab. It made it easier to have your kids run to the store to pick up an item without having the kids have cash with them.

    Dad and Mom had a small convenience store. A few people (always the same ones) asked for credit often. But those same few people would always be at the local bar for hours every day. Dad pointed out their inability to pay for bread, milk, eggs but always had money to push across the bar for drinks.

    I don't know if he ever got paid for what was owed.....but he made a hand printed sign and taped it to the cash register. This is what it read.

    lol, this same store puts bounced checks on display for everybody to see! Right next to the list of people that are no longer allowed credit.

    My Parents ran a small store/lottery stand/film developing place in the Towne Mall in New Castle PA....He ran tabs for lottery tickets. Some of the best customers, would pay their tabs for years, but almost every one of them would screw him on the last tab and never come back.
