I hate the proliferation of paper receipts. One day at the century theatres in Sacramento the sweet young thing at the snack bar register handed me "my receipt." I asked her if the food was tax deductible. She said she didn't know. I said I don't believe it is, so I won't need a receipt. She said I had to take it. I said is this a new rule for customers or they can't get in to the movie. She said she would be fired if I didn't take it. I said, that's ok, why would you want to work where they had such stupid rules that she'd be responsible for the customers behavior.

Again Sacramento, Carl's JR Franklin and Florin. 1 receipt at the first window, a second receipt wrapped around the bag at the second window and a third receipt in the bag. All for the same thing of course.

Same CJs, different day. Lunch time on a work day. I enter and start to give my order. The young man says, the computers are down, we can't take your order. I said, I have a suggestion. Write down what I order with the price next to the item. Total up the prices add the tax and I'll pay it. On paper you can subtract what I owe from what I give you and that will be my change. At the end of the day, add up the pieces of paper against the money in the registers. Answer: we don't know how to do that.

What I hate are those computer stores that ask to see your receipt before leaving. I tell them that since I already paid for it, it is now my property and they have no business looking at it.

Yeesh.

Know what's really scary about this? Each bozo like this one has the same vote as you and I do.

Recently at a convenience store I bought a small item with a five dollar bill. As the young cashier gave me my change, I kept my hand out as she put the coins and ones into it. Instead of stopping at the four ones, because my hand was still out she kept putting ones into it. I guess she was unsure of her math. After she put eight ones into my hand I stopped her, gave her the extras and told her she had given me too many. Reminded me of the old joke of asking for two tens for a five. Keep repeating until rich. I think its possible to do with the uneducated dolts working these days.
