Hoadie, my late uncle was a GM exec, and when he lived in White Plains he would hop across the border to purchase case lots of whiskey for entertaining. He would go across the "regular" bridge and through customs, but came back across a one lane bridge with a customs agent who hadn't left his booth in ten years.  always got a pleasant "good day" and a wave. 

I miss the good old days!

Me too.I went out to Emmerson, Manitoba years back -fer my late sister's wedding.Bar/hotel would close @ 10:00 in those days(maybe still do - i dunno), so everyone would just head over to N.Dakota(ferget the name of the town-but they had boardwalk sidewalks fer flooding).
US customs would sit & wave @ ya drivin thru (less he didn't recognize ya.) & comin home, OUR customs guy always went home @5:30.Just drive on thru.
US border patrol had the phone # of the only RCMP officer in Emmerson, so if they had a problem they'd call him & continue chase into Cdn side.(RCMP guy only worked days too.)
Wasn't a whole lot of problems with that system-cause there was no problems to begin with - if ya follow me.
I hear it got somewhat upgraded since.
