Don't try and buy a newspaper at the Safeway parking lot because it'll just steal your money and you got no paper

I think this is just a warning that the machines may not work: a single copy of each newspaper is available at the library, Broadway at Vanderhurst. No cost to read it there. Some subscriptions may be available online; computers available for use are free to use; WiFi is also freely available. Closed Sunday & Monday.

Marty Horton, aka Captain Obvious is right. His interpretation of Lee's anger is agreeable.
