Call it a coincidence or call it a rampant and common event, but I stood there and watched the whole thing.

Ran to Publix tonight. Had two items so went to the front to check out.
I walk up and the manager is about on the third $100.00 bill holding each one up to a light for a second, for obvious reasons.

I look next to me, it is an Hispanic male. The manager continues going through these $100.00 bills, to my best estimate it added up to $1700.00.

All the while a cashier is looking very seriously and carefully at this card with a red and green stripe across the top. She said, "I don't like this. I don't know what this is?"

The manager replied, "It's a Mexican driver's license."

The cashier said, "Yea, but I don't like this form of ID,
it isn't giving me the information I need."

I'm standing there (just the three of us and I'm right with them). I'm barely breathing and I look like this:

Making that quick mental decision not to remain silent, I said, "I know a lot about ID cards. That is a Mexican Consular Card."

The Mexican (obviously) guy, looked at me, and sort of smiled, like, YEA, you're right. He also nodded yes.

I didn't know what else to say. The cashier just could not stop investigating the card, turning it over and upside down, and she FELT SURE that the ID was not in accordance to what she needed.

The manager, did not seem particularly pleased either but it seemed as though he was going to go ahead with the transaction.

There is a place right there in Publix to send money and do transactions.
It seems pretty obvious that I was watching most likely illegally earned money being electronically sent to Mexico tonight.

Do you want to call it a coincidence? Or would you prefer to believe that this is how commonplace it is becoming. I think the last choice is probably the most truthful one.
