We live in New Jersey, so there's certainly something we love about this state, but people moving here from other parts of the country are certainly in for a rude awakening.
When I moved here from South Carolina last year, I was staying at a hotel. I decided to go shopping one night and made the trek to ShopRite. After scanning all my groceries, I realized there were no bags. It took the cashier 5 minutes to convince me they didn't provide free bags. It's no joke. For most items, the 25-cent bags will suffice.
A friend of mine is on the fence about accepting a new job that would require him to relocate to New Jersey and he asked me how I felt about it. I have some ideas as to what I should tell him in terms of why it's a good idea, but I want to see if you can come up with anything better.
