Improving for 2023

Are you referring to the rule that applies to those who are 16-17 ? Individuals in this age group can only drive in another state for 10 or so days. They can get around this by applying for a Nonresident Minor's certificate at the DMV.

If you are 18 years or older and have an out-of-state driver's license, you can drive in that state for the duration of your visit. California cannot make or enforce laws for other states and vise-versa. States also have the 138-day or 366-day rule that determines if an individual 18 years or older is a resident or non-resident.

I am thinking some rules are made to be broken. I would include in this someone earning $15 on a infrequent mystery shop and having to fill out a second state income tax form. I also learned a few years ago that if you spent more than 15 days in another state California considers you a non resident as far as your car registration goes. So do not vacation anywhere else for over 2 weeks or you have to re register your car and get new license plates for the rest of your trip. I actually called and spoke to someone at the time as it sounded too ridiculous to me but they confirmed it was true.

This thread inspired me today to think through this - I would like to improve my recordkeeping. I do a lot of gas station shops and it would be helpful if I had files informing me whether a station has 6 or 16 pumps - that affects if I accept it or not. And some notes in general on locations/idiosyncracies would make things go faster. I'm constantly reinventing the wheel and I want to stop doing that this year.

Shopping domestic and international locations since 2003.

That’s awesome! I was thinking I should make a list of employee names that I run into regularly. Sometimes a nametag is partially covered and I hate trying to catch it when I could just move on.
