I was visiting the Pheasant Lane mall in Nashua today and noticed a lot of Asian people had lined up outside the Apple Store. No one was attending them which got me intrigued. Does anyone know what’s the deal with that?
Nashua, sorry.
Is this year 1942 or 2022?
It's a secret communist plot to steal our Angry Birds. You cracked it, McCarthy. Alert the HUAC.
Most likely they're Asians who live in Mass. They come to NH to avoid sales tax, they buy up Apple products in quantities to mail home or deliver in person while on vacay. They also like purchasing the handbags at the Coach Merrimack outlet for same reasons. These premium goods are cheaper here as compared to China or Philippines. Their relatives have sent money ahead for these purchases.
It's the same thing with cars. UNH has (or had) a pretty good Chinese exchange program when I was in college and you could see a couple Chinese students driving super expensive sports cars because they were from rich families.
It's so much cheaper that they'd buy it while their kid was here and just ship it back to China when they left.
I stayed in Babcock, which had a large chunk of the exchange students and one of them explained it at one point.
Pretty sure there was some kid who got pulled over for going stupid fast on route years ago.
Pretty interesting economic little things.
It’s for resale. I once watched an Asian man buy the max amount they’d sell him (10) in cash, walk out of the store and put them in a friends backpack, then do it again. Probably 4 or 5 times while I waited for my phone.
I asked the associate who helped me and they said they do it a lot. They buy them for a g here, take them overseas and sell them for 1500-2000$ over there. The store doesn’t care, they get their money for them, so once they leave the Apple Store, they people are free to do as they want.
Totally harmless, just maximizing capitalism.
Know someone who works at target and they buy them and sell them to China only buy iPads and stuff too
Probably resell them on amazon
I know one of the managers and asked them the same thing a while back.
If you are there to buy a lot of items then you wait in the corral outside the store.
They are "gifts" for friends back home, It has nothing to do with gift cards purchased with stolen credit cards and then the items are sold for cheap. Not at all.
According to the store manager there's nothing they can do about it.
Pheasant Lane is In Nashua not Salem do you mean Rockingham mall or is this story bs?
I meant Nashua, sorry
Did their bus stop on their way to the Merrimack outlets?
Missus reports the same thing at Mall of NH yesterday.
Granddaughter goes: what's with all the suitcases?
There are Asians in Salem?
Probably has something to do with the current situation in China.
Maybe the employees wanted a happy ending
Good ol’ fashioned racism
Can you point on the doll to where the joke hurt you?
It's not offensive its just a hack joke. It's like saying "hey women are bad drivers" be funnier
I get told on a daily basis how many of me it takes to screw in a lightbulb and shit... Cuz I'm polish. It's funny. Sometimes stupid but I know that people don't ACTUALLY hate me for being a Pollock.
And you laugh every single time? I mean it must get old hearing the same jokes told over and over again. If you're gonna make an asian joke the low hanging fruit is played out by now.
Here's a free one for ya since you're Polish: Why was it so easy for Hitler to invade Poland?
His army marched in backwards and told them they were leaving.
😂😂😂😂 that's a good one I haven't heard yet.
Some of them are dumb lame jokes, but I don't get offended lol
I don't think anyone here is offended either lolol like I said the asian massage parlor jokes are just played out at this point
Kevkev87 I think took it a little too hard lol.
Well I mean it is racist too lol the joke based off race no?
Yeah but only technically. Lmao. It's always the woke tools that the joke doesn't even person to, getting upset
So then where was he wrong? It's technically a racist joke, and stop saying woke only losers say woke
I didn't say he was wrong did I? I was just saying get over it.
I usually put quotes around "woke" because I agree it's fuckin stupid, but that's what the "woke" crowd calls thanks.
No they don't the only people Iv heard use the term woke are right wing losers
Oh god. You're one of them people lmao. Ugh, have a good day.
That's some funny shit. Laughed my ass off as it caught me off guard.
See you got a lot of downvotes but I know you were kidding.
Well crafted!
