Too true. I also know which contenda you are talking about.

I think his issue was considerably younger and more fragrant but that's just speculation.

Besides, the other side of the coin would involve a Brooklyn accent and the eternal wonderment of why I have to replace my tires and wheels every couple of months. 😈

That was "Five Easy Pieces", not Easy Rider. An absolutely wonderful scene.

Remember in the movie "Easy Rider" when Jack Nicholsen asked for toast? Your story reminded me of that.

(For those who don't remember this classic scene, the waitress told him that they didn't have toast. So he ordered a "tuna sandwich on toast, hold the tuna"... )

Sorry, it's my sweet tooth kicking in.

There is a possibly a very simple reason for this. This issue occurs in numerous other situations and with good cause. It has to do with the way the computers are programmed. Part of the programming involves inventory. The bean counters within the organization figure out the prices of all the items, groups of items, etc. Somewhere in the business plan the cost of keeping track of that one pound cake you didn't purchase is the single price of the cake, cost of restocking, inventory control, ordering, etc.

I know it doesn't make sense, but that is the behind the scenes workings of many markets, restaurants, etc. They don't explain that to the cashiers.

Our local market, The Fresh Market, runs a weekly special. $20 for an entire meal for four. It usually consists of packages of stir fry veggies, meat, fish or chicken, sauce, some grain or noodles and a dessert. Most of the meals have been very good and it gives me a break from "real cooking". So, now the DUH!! I pick up a package of noodles, chicken, sauce and veggies. I did not want the pound cake dessert. I check out and the bill comes to $28+. I inquire and ask about the $20 meal. The cashier says," you did not get the pound cake". I said, "I did not want the pound cake" She says," you have to buy the pound cake to get the special price of $20". I go back and get the pound cake and the bill is now $20. I then asked her, if I give the pound cake away, do I have to return the $8+. At least she laughed!! DUH!!!!!!

Does anyone think that Trump just might be copying Obama.
Obama would give us change....
Trump will make America great again.
He'll build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.

The thing is to tell the voters what they want to hear and get their votes.
You won't hear just how they will manage all that they promise.

Hillary gets in you can look for 4 more years of Obama.

I think I'll do what all my friends tell me I'll do, Throw my vote away.
They never let me forget that I voted for Obama the first 4.

The change Trump will give us is Nuclear War... AKA WWIII.

A lady with her two teen granddaughters yesterday urged aggressively for me to vote for Trump, over and over. I asked her if the two lovely girls with her were related to her. She proudly introduced them as her Granddaughters. I looked at them and asked her if she really wanted them to live in the World that was soon ravaged by Trump and his antics? She STFU and walked away, but not before one of the Grandaughters mouthed the words, "Thank You!"

Not sure whether we should elect Trump and impeach him, or do Hillary!

I remember, years ago in a grocery store, on an aisle endcap, a large 'Special Sale' display for lightbulbs. 2-100w lamps for $1.99.
Down the aisle with all of the rest of the lamps, you could buy 100w individually for 79¢ each.

That's kind of a leap in assumptions. The other possibility is having Hillary just let them walk in. no knocking, as with Huma, just stroll on in and mingle.

Yep. It was GE when they were using the Mr. Magoo advertising campaign. I may have dated myself, that was about 1962.

You should have finished the transaction then taken the pound cake out and left it. You can't turn back time but you can mess with the future. It would take the bean counters days to figure out how they made that extra $3.95. Buy got to go to wal mart.
