    C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAK!

    I was at a convenience store the other day and was granted the opportunity to witness to what equates as the greatest 'Worker Owns Customer' story I have ever beared witness to.

    sc: Obviously
    acw: Annoyed Convenience store worker
    me:


    sc: Yes, I want to cash these tickets in.

    acw: *spies that the scratch-offs aren't winners* I'm sorry sir, you didn't win any money with these tickets.

    sc: But... I bought these tickets here, I should be able to redeem them here. I spent my hard earned money on these.

    me: *Yeah, a whole three bucks on the cheapest tickets in existence*

    sc: *turns to me* Right? I should be able to redeem these tickets! Right?

    me: *not even acknowledging him and looking down at my potential purchase* I think my Slurpee's melting.

    sc: GAH! Just redeem my tickets! *rambles*

    acw: I'm sorry, I can't give you any money from these tickets as you didn't WIN any money from them. I can't even refund the three bucks you spent on these as they're already scratched.

    sc: *Stopping briefly after each word for emphasis* YOU! ARE! THE! MOST! USELESS!

    acw: *Finally wiping the bored look from his face* C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAK! *makes a Ryu hadouken stance behind the counter*

    sc: .......*exasperated* I..... what?

    me: My slurpee...

    sc: *swears and rambles more before throwing his tickets at me and storming out*

    acw: *on the floor laughing behind the counter*

    me: *begins laughing like a hyena* You have no idea how hard it was to keep a straight face through that whole thing.

    acw: Oh man, that was probably the best thing that's ever happened to me here.


    We laughed about it for a few more minutes then someone else came in and I was finally able to make my purchase, which was just given to me as I caught the references to bash.org and Street Fighter and refused to help the guy when he turned to me to back him up. But by that time I had to refresh my slurpee as it had begun to melt.

    In so many words: Best. Day. Ever.

    And as much as slurpees rawk bawls, free slurpees are infinitely more awesome.

    Yesterday was free slurpee day in my area! I got one, then tried 3 more 7-11's but they'd run out of the free cups. I love slurpees too.
    Michael: Maybe you'll be inspired by the boat party tonight and start a career as a pirate.
    Tobias: I haven't packed for that.

        The whole combo break thing is from a website called Bash.org. It's a site of quotes from IRC and the quote comes from someone typing C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAK! interrupting someone sending im's

        in
        this
        format.


        I admit, it's not the easiest story to follow unless you kinda know what's going on, but we have some cool 7-11 workers who will pull random jokes on customers to break up the tedium of work.

            I'm betting the free slurpees. It's always the slurpees. Too many regional names for them. Also change by store.

                  Old game, Killer Instinct, had massively long combos that you could mash all at once... to the point where you could get up for a snack and be back by the time it finished.
                  If, though, your opponent managed to pull off a Combo Breaker move to get out of it, the announcer would yell "C-C-C-C-C-Combo Break!!".

                  How it got paired up with the Hadouken stance from Street Fighter, why it's tied to bash.org, etc, I'm clueless on, though.

                    Thank you, Gaudemeues, for pointing the way to one of the funniest websites I have ever visited. With such wonderful quotes as:

                    <Infe> what happens if you try to recharge an alkaline battery
                    <HomerJ> blows up
                    <Andrigaar> Don't they explode?
                    <Andrigaar> I wonder if it's violent or just some leaking battery acid.
                    <Infe> i think it's all a scam to get you to pay more for 'rechargeables' and ---
                    <Infe> AHHHHHHHHHHH MY FACE
                    <Infe> AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

                      Thanks. I'm a huge Joss Whedon and Adam Baldwin fan. Some of my friends and I started watching that show when it came out on dvd and they were like "You two (me and jayne) are so alike it's scary". I still have marathons once a month where we watch Firefly and Serenity. Apparently I'm a big scary nerd with a penchant for overkill.

                      I guess it was just something he did. I really couldn't say. Not like he could just shout "HADOUKEN!" behind the counter and it have the same effect as what he did shout.

                      Slurpee, slushee, partially melted icee. Same thing.

                        OK, Anyone who has not visited Bash.org and read the quotes, it is a Level 1 - Special Orders Drink Alert Site. Make sure all liquids are out of arms reach before reading the quotes.

                          Only on your first time through. The third time or so, drinks become fairly safe to have around.

                            Oh, no, no, no!
                            Slurpees and Slushies aren't the same! Slushies are closer to being snow cones with bigger ice (watery-ish)- and Slurpees are smooth.
                            Plus, there are usually much more awesome flavors when one goes to buy a Slurpee.

                            SLURPEES RULE!

                              Wow, I never knew there was a difference. Guess I've been told
                              I do agree that places with slurpees tend to have much more awesome flavours.
