Do they have to pay their usual supermarket also, despite not having
bought food there?  If they buy clothes where they fled, do they have
to pay a commission to the store where they would have bought had they
been home?  How about the beggars in the Ashdod shuk - when people return
to Ashdod do they have to give the beggars what they would have given them
had they gone shopping every day?  Perhaps the beggars in the north, who
profited from the person's move, should send a commission to the ones in
the south?

Does all of this apply whenever someone goes away, for a vacation, etc?
