everything we love goes away

so...

on top of the fact that VCR's are quickly going the way of the beta tape, now my local grocery store stopped selling melba snacks and stoned wheat thins. wtf. this behaviour is unacceptable and will NOT be tolerated. the good news is that i just bought $30 in crackers for about $6.

of course, i used the U-scan since as you will see it has some very nice advantages. like the friggin crackers were'nt scanning right since they were on some super discount shelf for 75% off since they are being discontinued (bastards!). so instead of costing like 60 cents, like it should have, it was going to cost 2.30 which is like a 70 cent discount. so, being the thrifty shopper that i am, i went up to the gamma minus at the u-scan register and was like, "this isn't ringing up right, its supposed to be 75% off". it turns out that by the end of my checkout this girl was leaving, so i think she just wanted to be home and wanted this annoying customer with way to many friggin boxes of crackers to go in a corner and die.

"well, how much are they supposed to be?" she says, and i'm like "well, they scan for 2.30, and they are 75% off, so 25 cents a dollar plus the last 7 cents makes 57 cents." "ok fine," "but I have two boxes of those" "how much were they?" "57 cents",

"ok fine, there"..."i have more boxes like that", "ok bring me one of each"...

so the good news is that i just got a bunch of crackers and now i just need some cheese...
