    Years ago we had a 24 hour diner in our town. Tough old guy owned it. He did hard time for an armed robbery back during the Great depression. It was a really popular place with the locals and he had enough room for truck parking. He was kinda gruff but he had a soft heart for people down on their luck, nobody ever went there and went away hungry. Well he loved cats, if you went in the place late at night the cats would be in the dining area, I remember them walking down the counter and truck drivers giving them food off their plates. Now I see cat cafes, I'm like old Harry was 60 years ahead of his time lol

      It's not an either or situation. The grocery store probably still has a regular exterminator that comes by to ensure that there aren't any vermin.
