RETIRED: Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

shhhhh.. you'll wake him up.

And as little time as I have to spend on SD I have a feeling that glow in the dark green box will be there for a long time! So I think I'll be leaving Mr. Mack as my avatar for a while too, cause he's such a joy!

okie dokie - "speaking" quietly so as not to wake him from his nap.

But your baby poop yellow matches your bunnys napsack...

How would I check that?

I gotta say, laugh if ya must, I thought ya had night vision goggles on him. Color me dumb. I thought he was skoping out the woods for predators.

Okay, this is a long one, but please bear with me.

Did anyone ever work in a grocery store as a cashier? I have a problem and don't know which option would be better for the kid who rang up my Ralphs purchases.

I had that Pemmican coupon (and I honestly don't remember how much it was good for, so if you still have it or remember the value of it, please let me know). At any rate, I went to Ralphs after "work" and asked where they sold the jerky. I was told that it was on aisle 12 and also around the various cash registers (I guess it's an impulse purchase for some people). There were none on aisle 12, but I found a large package near the end of the customer line, so put it into my cart. There was no price on it.
Well the store was packed and everyone in a rush, including the cashier. He looked at the coupon took off the price and I paid for the rest of the items. I didn't know the price of the jerky until I got home and looked at the register receipt -- it was almost $11.00. I'm certain that the coupon was worth nowhere near that price.

As it takes me two buses to get to Ralphs and another two to get home, I didn't immediately return to fix the mistake. But now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not certain I even should go back and tell them what happened.

1. Will the cashier get in trouble for giving me the wrong credit because management will notice his mistake?
2. Will he get in trouble if I go back and point out the error because no one would have noticed it otherwise?

I don't know how grocery stores work but I'm hoping someone here does and will let me know the best thing to do. Please note: I would have no problem ripping Ralphs off for the entire $11 because I've had enough stuff I've purchased not make it into my bag over the years. I just don't want to get the cashier in trouble.

You should keep Mr Mack as your avatar - it will make him feel special & you'll be returning some of the joy he brings to you everyday.

OK, guys, could really use your help on this, as gas money (well, ANY money) is getting scarce. I entered my pic at the Brads Deals contest - http://www.facebook.com/bradsdeals Unfortunately, there is no dedicated spot, you just post to their wall. Look for "Tom Stangl" or the pic of the hippy in the tie-dye T. I just posted it, 1 Like (me) so far, and the leaders are up near 200, with the end of the contest in a few days (I THINK 4/20). So if you have FB Friends with lots of Friends, feel free to ask them to vote for me (Like my pic - that's all that is needed to vote, no comment needed)

Argh! My pic showed there for a minute or 2, and now isn't there. I uploaded it again, hopefully it will stay there this time...

Same here, I use my son's face book so I would be asking a bunch of 12 year olds, But I vote every morning!!!!

He's staying - we just had a discussion about it!

Speaking of wins, I realized today, after using up my last Hall's vitamin C lozenge, that out of 7 wins, they only sent me 3 coupons. Did everyone else get all of theirs? If I remember right, there were a ton of wins.
