There's this writer James LaFond that writes primarily about violent encounters, urban decay and crime in places like Baltimore and he once said if you notice the ice cream machine at the McDonald's is always broken, the area's going downhill. It's because it takes a certain IQ level to perform the necessary maintenance on an ice cream machine. Not super high, but somewhat above knuckle-dragger territory.

When you go to a house to pick up free used boxes full of 'decorative empty Jack Daniels bottles' and there's a dodge charger under a cover parked on the grass with some mopey fatheaded girl child sobbing nearby.

 

[Meownaw]

That’s a good one.

That's why you didn't say it.

The gas stations have video poker machines

The cashier barely speaks English, especially when it's a raghead.

I actually find those more in perfectly safe rural gas stations in Bumfuck Egypt. Sad characters using those machines though.
