Attention tax refund SCs with wads of $100s...

I just went to Wondercon and saw some excellent costumes. There was someone in a Transformer's Bumblebee costume that was incredible. But my favorite clothing item was a t-shirt that read, "Science, it works, bitches."

We are NOT a printing service!

No I can't go back seven months and get you a copy of a receipt you lost. I also certainly can't do it if you bought it at another store in our chain since we would never have had that record to begin with. Although you say "I'm sure it must be in the system", you are mistaken. Our "system" doesn't work like that.

I also can't print copies of game manuals for you. That is what they call copyright infringement. If you can't figure out how to play your game either get someone to help you, go online or do it the old fashioned way: just keep messing around with it until you figure out what the hell you're supposed to be doing. Seriously, it works.

I also can't print out walkthroughs and/or cheat sheets off gamefaqs.com or any other sites for you. Not only do I not have access to these sites, we also SELL strategy guides and cheat code books so expecting me to give such info away for free (actually at a COST to the store when you consider the paper and ink) is pretty stupid.

I think I remember a story from the Gord similar to this. Kid comes in wanting Gord to print some cheats. Gord says he'd do it for $1 per page.

While I was at 7-11 this morning, getting my usual cheap coffe, when there was a kid ahead of me in line who payed for assorted things (monster, coffe, skittles, gum) with a freaking $100!!!!! And there were atleast 6 more in his wallet! What does a seventh or eighth grader need that much money at school for???

Well i hope they checked that $100 to make sure it was real. Cause the kid either has parents with more money than brains, or those are fake bills.

Or the kid be selling some contraband to his classmates. Skittles, Snickers, Starburst, that sorta stuff.

Yeah and you bingo bitches with your tax refunds coming in with nothing but big bills and then pissing and moaning when I give you your change in all one's and quarters because you bought one or two specials for a dollar and then give me a twenty. We have, like, half a dozen freakin' bankers with tills at one of the long tables that can effectively make change when you buy your stupid bingo games when you first come in. So get over it. I am NOT gonna spend the whole freakin' night running back and forth to the till to make change, especially when I'm doing this for FREE you idiot. I'm NOT a "walking bank" you dumb redneck.

You think that's bad? I usually get (even when it isn't income tax return season) jerk wads that come in with a $100 bill and either buy a pack of candy, gum, or maybe they'll get $10 in gas. Then, if I tell them I can't change that for them they get miffed, failing to understand whenever I get so much in my drawer, I drop it into the safe. I'm sorry they have bad timing, otherwise they could have gotten their precious Reeses PB cups and got their $98.85 in change back.

Ugh.

[ditchdj]

Yeah when I first filled out my w-2 forms at my work I purposely claimed zero dependents so that more tax money would be taken out and I'd get a nice refund every year. However, I didn't do that so I could use it as a license to be a dickhole to everyone every February.

"But that $100 is the smallest bill I got!"

...uh something tells me I gotta take out the UV lighter cause I really doubt there are any bills larger than a $100....

Hi! I was there, too. And one of those peeps in costume (Zatanna). I haven't found any pics of my costume online though I did get a few pics taken by random strangers.

I noticed someone dressed up as Captain America standing streetside while visiting a friend. I shook my fist at the impostor, from the relative safety of my friend's backseat, for being a poor imitation of a dead super hero (He is still dead, right?), ostensibly advertising that tax return company that largely puts people out on the street dressed as the Lady Liberty...

(Er, as an aside, I need to stop watching Zero Punctuation back to back to back...)

Yes, Steve's still dead but now Bucky has taken up the Captain America mantle which I wish he hadn't done. They've had instances where they could've brought the Cap back but they haven't done it.

Nerd hiding in the corner now.

People and their $100's! At my last job they had to be spending $70 or more before we could break it. We were a pre-pay station thank goodness (well, all of BC is now). Cab drivers were bad for stopping by and asking for change for a $100, seriously, it says on the door that we have less than $30 in the till, you know, so we don't get robbed. It astounded me how many people thought that it made perfect sense for a gas station to have hundreds of dollars in the till, just to make change. I hated the jerks in the tricked out SUV's, they were the worst for $100's.

I think I caught a glimpse of you. Looked good.

Heh. I'll take credit for whichever one of us you saw (I noticed about 2-3 others dressed as Zatanna).

I'm a pizza delivery guy, we are not allowed to carry over 20 dollars on us at one time or we get chewed out. I've had customers who hand me 50-100 dollar bills, when I tell them I can't cash them for a 10 dollar order. They not only get huffy, but then hand me almost exact change. They were just to damn lazy to go to the bank.
