convenience store pricing madness - GoFuckYourself.com

waste · 08-30-2006, 03:01 AM

I just went to the store to get a pack of smokes normal price after tax is $3.83 so I already had my $4 out ready to pay when the clerk asks me "do you want the buy one get one free?"

First off dumb fucking question like I'm going to say no just give me another pack at regular price, but I settle with a healthy "Fuckin' A right I do"

when the total comes up it's $4.49, now I'm sitting here puzzled as to why it isn't still $3.83

I was about to ask the clerk about this but she stopped me mid-sentence and said something about Tax and Transportation.

I'm still fucking puzzled because Tax in MD is only 5% and to bring a truck from VA to MD doesn't cost that fucking much and even if it did why still say "Buy one get one free" shouldn't it be more like, "Buy one get another at a discounted price but almost close to being free depending on where you live and the Tax regulations that you've never had to pay like this before even though you bought the same fucking deal down the road just last week with no hidden surprises leaving you here while you feel like you got ripped off and bitch about it"

Am I the only one confused by this?

This thread reminds me of the time that Jesus fought Mohammed for the Grand Prophet Championship World Title. Jesus was doing amazingly well considering that Mohammed had at least fifty pounds on him. Slowly, but surely, Jesus was getting worn down by Mohammed?s mighty punches and it looked as though he would lose the fight for sure. Then a miracle happened! Jesus got his second wind and threw punch after punch, wailing into Mohammed with everything he had. Suddenly though, Jesus lost his footing as he went in for the kill and he fell down, slamming his neck on a chair that had been displaced earlier.

This paralyzed our lord and savior from the neck down permanently and no amount of magic could repair the damage. Rather than live the rest of his life confined to a bed until his death, Jesus begged for God, our father who art in Heaven, to take his life. God thought about this a while and even though it broke his heart and spirit, God chose to honor Jesus?s request and ended his life swiftly? it was a really touching story. They eventually made a movie about it called the Million Dollar Savior. You should definitely give it a watch one day.

It's about Jesus vs. Mohammed during the Grand Prophet Championship for the World Title. It was a great fight... I wish Jesus would have won

Technically neither won as Mohammed was disqualified shortly afterwards for steroid abuse.
