How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have.
They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.

Christmas '06 at Gamestop . . .



Okay. It wasn't quite like that, but judge for yourself:

After choosing a couple of Gameboy titles, I went to the checkout and offerred a $20 bill in payment . . .

Cashier 1: "Uh, I can't handle that. I'm out of 5's, 1's, and quarters." Turning to another cashier, "Do you have change?"

Cashier 2: "I don't know. I haven't opened my drawer all day. I've only had cards."

Cashier 1, to another cashier: "How 'bout you."

Cashier 3: "I think so."

And after an excruciatingly long conversation with the gentleman in line ahead of me, the third cashier did indeed accept my cash. I guess life really does take Visa!
