To eat in a bakery? Sure.

I do this sometimes, it's great. I pretend to be just really, really, really dumb that whatever they're trying to make me do doesn't work. "Give me your credit card number" "I can't, they're glued to the credit card...."
If they start yelling, you broke them.
Yep. That's what I do when I don't want to answer. Works great.
To be fair, that's not grammar :p
It doesn't matter what age is it. It's not like people suddenly stop being reckless and careless at 21. I've heard enough horror stories of people who are way ahead of legal age doing dangerous stuff.
This is how you know that being rich sets you up for life. It doesn't matter what they'll do - it'll end up a slap on the wrist at best. The system is unjust and corrupt.
This is like this or worse everywhere in my country. It didn't plan well for public transport and enjoyed the income from car sale taxes. I'm not willing to take my life to an entire new state with a different language, different culture and everything else that comes with it just to not use a car.
The lack of running water is not a great example because there is no viable alternative. A car IS a viable alternative, it's just not a great method of doing so efficiently.
It's not fair to her, banshees should also be able to take the bus.
That sounds nice in theory, but if your public transportation sucks you're still going to have a car.
Where I live, most places around me that are too far to walk (over 30 mins) but that take 5 minutes by car have terrible public transport. For example, the mall closest to where I live is 45 minutes by foot, 5 minutes by car, and around 30 to 40 minutes on bus (assuming no wait time at all). The reason is that it doesn't go straight to the mall, it goes into many streets on its route and the mall is its last stop.
Similarly, it takes 10 minutes by car to get to the closest train station but about an hour to do it by bus.
That's why I don't think you can simply use a "no kids? no car" logic as a universal one. Rather, the logic would be "use your car as an alternative to public transport". Which means, try to use public transport as primary means, but use the car instead if it's not viable or the difference would be big.
Maybe - and that would mean they will lose the case.
However, if they manage to drag it out for years and years, it'll be a serious strain on the bakery owner's financials. Assuming it is a small business and not a huge chain, it would have them struggling to keep up the cost of defense until that happens.
