(Sorry, as long as I'm ranting, let me note that it's the same crowd as BROKE the shul's front door at the ma'os chitim distribution last year (two years ago, sorry -- last year we had someone else handle distribution because it was too much of a problem) when the doors weren't opened quickly enough (or maybe there had been a problem in communication about the day, not sure). The same group that has caused deep fear in the office staff. And one of the ladies, none too steady on her feet to start, tripped over her feet and fell, and sued the shul (that was a different year).)
For those who don't know, what they give out for ma'os chitim (lit. money for flour: to buy supplies for Passover) is a $10 or $25 chit good only a week before and during Passover at the Butcherie. That's what a crowd of men in this demographic lined up for, grew impatient about, and broke down the shul door over. Most of them don't keep kosher in the first place.
