I suspect that the receipt actually belonged to the original blogger, who created his "boss" to whip up class envy.

If so, he probably didn't expect the merchant to dig up the receipt and expose him as a liar.

He got the desired outrage reactions by the idiots that read and posted on the original story the other day. They probably won't see that it was a lie so that they will continue believing that this guy is a brave little martyr for the "cause".

I can imagine some smelly trust fund maggot being interviewed by a drooling "journalist" at the next "occupy" gathering regurgitating this BS story as a fact for their useless flea infested comrades.
