Pioneer Avenue--This thrift store's clerk woman put me on the "honor system" by allowing me to take home a Ray Stevens 45, which includes on the A side "The Streak", because I didn't have any money. The record cost 49 cents. She told me that "I have faith that you will come back and pay the amount...This place is meant to help the poor, so you don't want to stand before God knowing that you once stole from the poor. All that trouble over a record!" I was so nervous that I would find a Russian mafia money collector at my door one day if I didn't pay the money back. The very next day I paid my debt, naturally.
