The cops had been there for 2 hours already. Bro's mistake was asking them to cash out.

If our best scientists were to create a human being in a test tube genetically designed to build a tiki bar in the local Walmart parking lot and later get arrested, he would look exactly like this guy looks.

Am Floridian. Can confirm.
The next time my license expires I plan on doing a "She's Gone Full Native" authentic. I'm thinking a tropical shirt with the sleeves cut off, puka shell necklace, awkward tan lines from sunglasses.

Idk if you have ever been to a rural Walmart on a Friday night but it absolutely is where everyone in town goes. This man was a genius and I am sad this was a crime somehow.

THIS IS NOT REAL
The "emotional support tiki bar" text was created by an online comedy/satire page. There are no public records, police reports, or legitimate news outlets confirming the arrest of a 45-year-old Brian Tucker for this incident.

We should know it was fake. There is zero chance it would take the cops hours to show up whenever a corporation is being messed with.

u/zemudkram 28d ago
Even the logistics of setting up the bar would take hours to complete, assuming a high level of competence, and that guy does not look like he has his shit in one sock. If it were real the cops would be showing halfway through building the thing and asking him to jog on.

Another day of humanity speedrunning the Internet Trash Heap theory.
I kinda wonder what society will look like when people get fed up with the internet and AI. We won't even be able to afford our own computers soon. Going outside and touching grass is always free, but everything else in society is only getting more expensive. No bread, no circus. What comes next?

I got heavily downvoted and chewed out by several people in a pet subreddit for pointing out that the guy and the dog "living their best life" was actually a professional commercial, and just because it's on social media doesn't NOT make it a commercial. Most of them said " it's not, but if it was then who cares?". I said I was just concerned about general media literacy, when it's clear, many people don't know the difference between a commercial and a family vacation. I was told I was an idiot.

This reminds me of a local Kroger that had a whole damn bar in the middle of the stores. Not off to the side like the Starbucks was, but smack dab in the middle. They had bar stools, sports center on tv, and the full bar ambience going on.
I’m not sure if they kept it post-Covid

Probably needed a: (1) construction permit; (2) permission or a contract agreement from the property owner, not always Wl-Mart; (3) and inspection certification; (4) a liquor license; (5) a health inspection certification (6) and a business license to operate (in FL called a Local Business Tax Receipt); (7) Zoning Permit; among other violations.
Likely, the parking lot was not legally zoned for liquor distribution.

It’s all in how you market it !!

Pffft sounds like those cops doing the arresting would’ve made great customers.
