I'm Being Discriminated Against!!!

There is a convenience store around the corner from our house, and from time-to-time, either my wife or I will stop in to grab a "gulp-type" drink in these insulated, re-fillable cups they offer. The cost to re-fill the cup is $1.00 once you've purchase the cup.

There is a cashier who works there on the day shift, and everytime I have filled my cup, he takes my dollar, but appears to ring the transaction on the till as a "no-sale" -- my suspicion is that he's keeping a tally in his head of how many times he does this during his shift, and then slips a corresponding amount of money out of the register and into his pocket.

I mentioned this to my wife the other day, and she laughed and said that everytime she re-fills her cup with this guy, he waves her off and says it's free!

Moral Of The Story: I guess it pays to have big ****.......

The guy may not be a thief.
At some places soda fountain drinks are inventoried 'by cup'.
One soda sold = One cup gone.

They can't 'one each' accurately by soda volume, I might be a 'no ice' customer and you might fill yours to the rim with ice. Plus you notice at the self serve fountains the floor is sticky, who paid for that?

This is why you get a big 'hell no' some places when you ask if they will just give you a empty cup for free.

There's a picture of the wife in my old gallery, but that seems to be down right now. I can't remember if the picture I have in there is shot at an angle that would give you an appreciation for the "fullness and roundness of the product" however.....

I can't, Ignore has a limit of 50.
I needed the room and couldn't remember your crime so you were released.

It certainly wasn't because anybody posted your bail.

Oh, and when you have fifty members on Ignore and you try to add another one,
the system sends you a message that says,
'Did you consider that the problem might be you?'
