    Aldi testing at a single location $12 USD deposit to enter store in exchange for not having to check out.

    about a year ago they announced they were phasing that out at amazon fresh store locations, as it didn't really work. while advertised as using AI to track you in store and your purchases, the AI didn't really work. instead they employed around 1000 people in India to monitor the feeds, and...

    They made a purchase... Not sure it meets the ground clearance "requirement" or if it's AWD( though that was an option.) They bought her a 2023 Camry, with 20,850 mi. And because he was "concerned" about fitting a baby seat in his single cab '99 F150, be paid cash for an '07 Buick Rendezvous...

    you realize those chargers were "just" 10(ish) yr old used cars at the time right? they didn't buy them from Chrysler... and the cop cars, etc in movies, if they're current models are usually provided to the production by the manufacturer.. the studios don't go out and by them.
