  People probably already know this, but Legoland California no longer has any
pick a brick worth visiting at all.
I had to buy a bag to carry the 4-5 small cups i did get.
It's their loss, last time I was there, they had to use x2 golf
carts to move all the stuff I bought to my car.

Totally Disappointed,

Maybe the average customer does not expect to buy two golf carts full of LEGO
to make their trip worthwhile.

  Not excepting cash is probably the worst part.

Tbh cash makes things more difficult when it’s tax time. I don’t use cash at
all and it makes things much simpler so for their records (or security against
theft) it might make sense for them

pick a brick worth visiting at all. They also do not take cash. Anywhere for
any reason. There are two small pick a brick walls, one in a store at the gate,
and another in the underwater store area. Both only had small cups. I had to
buy a bag to carry the 4-5 small cups i did get. I was at legoland florida in
March and they at least had bags, and they also were selling bricks by weight.
They also had a person greeting people as they entered the parking lot, who
informed you they do not accept cash. Legoland california has no one. You potentially
could get stuck at the gate, if you had a bunch of people behind you. I am sure
many are okay with this, but not I. How can they make a bunch of plastic bricks
for sale, but we can not even have a plastic straw? So I have decided, legoland
germany is it. Gonna stay for a week, that's 200g's per brick element
per day, if I am correct. Bring a couple empty suitcases. And give the rest
to a buddy and have him ship them on base. Looks to be about a 3hr drive from
Frankfort. That was my last trip to legoland california. I will not return
again. It's their loss, last time I was there, they had to use x2 golf
carts to move all the stuff I bought to my car.

I guess even LEGO isn’t immune to the crazy’s out in California.

Hi,

Is your password more than 15 characters?

Or does it have accented characters or symbols?
What’s your operating system?  Windows or Mac?  And what’s your langage and locale? 
(I’d guess Deutsch/Austria.)

How would we know it when we see it?

Dirt cheap prices on valuable sets in larger quantities.

That's everything on facebook marketplace.

The same is true of the less developed parts of the United States. Big Canadian
cities tend to resemble big American cities, with a small urban core surrounded
by a large ring of low-density car-dependent suburbs.

That’s just it most of Canada’s towns are small, leading to not many big roads.

  Aaa… the difference it can make when your country is built around a invention

To be fair, before World War II, trains were the dominant form of overland travel
in America and cities tended to be small and dense, kind of like European cities.

However, this country has grown a lot since then and new development tends to
be more centered around automobiles. Much the same is true of Canada.
