What a total pain in the A@@. Stopped to get gas before we crossed. No cars waiting. By the time we were done there were about 10 cars. Waiting . . . waiting . . . . waiting . . . . waiting . . . . . and yeah, more WAITING! People started beeping their horns. There was nobody in the booth on the US side and I guess the first car in the front didn't want to blow through the stop sign (I would have). Finally, 3 CBP agents come strolling over - they were on break and had gone to the store!!!!!!! So they leave the grand ol' US of A completely unguarded to go on break???????? Every time it seems like it gets harder and harder to get OUT of the country!

Same thing happened to us. Sat there and waited while there 3 agents, standing right there going over paperwork or something, just watched as the cars kept piling up. I think they do it just to piss you off??
Hobie Vern - What time were you there? Did you get out of your truck to go talk to someone in the car behind you and someone asked you if they could sneak in front of you? If so, that was me!

No, this happen in October. Got to the border, one car in front us. We thought "sweet no wait" WRONG. We must of sat there for 15/20 minutes. I was going to start honking but figured that would just make them make us wait even longer??
LOL - You're never gonna let me forget that one, huh? Not that I mind, I don't have acid shame! A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do when a guy like Hooch lurks around!
Friends said over 2 hr wait coming south yesterday...only 1 lane open at mexico customs. Think they better work on this if they expect a homeport to work...
When I came back yesterday about noon, when I finally got through, the line was a whole mile long waiting to get into Mexico. We were glad we came back yesterday for sure!
Have a bag of pooh, and put in booth for them as you go by.
You go for it next time! let us know how you make out. I smile and take shit but I go South and North without any Prob. I hate lines and delays so every person who gives them shit delays my wait time. So if you want to do this please cross at San Luis or Sasabe. LOL
You tell them Lady and you were most likely wrote up for non compliant been their! brought back half full liqueur bottles at the end of June. It does not matter where you purchased them they said they could fine me $500.00 and take away all liqueur. So here I sit with a record of being non compliant.
If you piss them off you'll find there's a lot they can do to make your life miserable.
Indeed, indeed. their power is unbounded right up to physical harm. Smile and act stupid. Works for me but that's not too difficult. ( there beat you to it GV):p:p:p
