General Crap Store

The General Crap Store was a tiny convenience store situated in Swotford that was opened from September 1980 to February 2017. It only sold newspapers, kiddie comics, basic food items and cheesy scratchcards. The owner Dave Brown and the cashiers of the store were not very watchful, so it was easy for Harry Smith, the rest of The Black Foot Gang and many school kids to steal sweets, Coco-Coal and other junk food from the shelves. This was not always the case, as Caleb McKinnon was once caught stealing five bottles of tomato ketchup. Only three people worked at the store. The shop was also on wheels, so it can be moved about, though was has very rarely moved.
A notorious incident once occurred when a young boy went to the till to pay for some Harriet-Boes, but had to wait just over an hour for the server to wake up. County Genesiscide Council then arrested the man, aged 23. The owners notoriously stored the stock in their cars. A thief once broke into the cars and stole everything. In The Black Foot Gang's Car, The Black Foot Gang stole a 2002 Retro with stock inside, claimed it as their own and drove it recklessly; Dave is still looking for it to this day.
In February 2017, the store was smashed up and dumped into the sea by an unknown person. Before doing so, he stole many sweets and took them home. When Dave was informed by the police about this, he became furious and destroyed his expensive laptop out of rage. He has stated "I've had to deal with thieves stealing stock before, but this is just unbelievable. I want that man to be tortured for the rest of his life until he dies. I'm never running a store again."
In December 1985 the owners hung a sheet of Christmas wrapping paper on the wall behind the counter. They never bothered to take it down and it remains there until the store's destruction, despite having changed colour from blue to brown.
The General Crap Store was a somewhat notable hotspot for Poke Mum Go players. Some people just walked into the store to play the game and not buy anything, which provoked cashiers to toss tins of baked beans at them. This caused Dave and the cashiers to become more watchful, much to the disappointment of thieves.
