Drinks in Cascadas fridges
Forgot to mention in my stay at Cascadas early last month I noticed for the first time that all the drinks in the fridge are tagged (have a sticker that staff put on them). Never saw that before. In the past I might drink a few of the beers but then replace those drinks with a few I buy from Oxxo so I can get my full $30 hotel deposit back. Seems they've started tagging the drinks so you can't replace them with your own store-bought drinks LOL. I guess it's easy enough to get around that by just buying all my drinks from Oxxo and leaving the drinks in the fridge alone but still interesting to me that they've actually taken the time to start tagging all the drinks in the fridge.
How's the pedestrian crossing these days?
Thinking of going over the border tomorrow, Sat. 04/09/22 - is it smooth crossing these days? I haven't been in months.
Thanks!

Mexico's INM will want to see your passport. There are no travel restrictions now so you should be able to walk over without problems, but they are still bullying gringos into paying $20-30, depending on how scared they look.
3 of us walked over last Sunday about 2 PM. I showed my passport and the guy just glanced at it, not looking or reading. My 2 wingmen also showed theirs. We were waved on quickly, but 2 INM guys took a gringo into the room, likely to squeeze money out of him as he looked scared and shaken.
Here's the head of INM in Tijuana. Print it out and hand it to the INM guys if they start giving you problems:
Manuel Alfonso Marín Salazar.
Titular de la Oficina de representación.
Calle Diamante s / and, Fracc. La Esmeralda,
Delegación San Antonio de LOS Buenos, see. P. 22640 Tijuana, Baja California.
