Sam, ignore the humorless nay-sayers. I have a great love-hate relationship with the Pakistani guy who runs the local convenience store. This would be the perfect prank to play on him. And if he got wise to it, it would still, in some small way, absolutely make his day.

Genius, sir!

I sometimes wonder what drives people to want to annoy or irriate other people who have done them no harm. I've never understood the motivation for things like that.

Perhaps you can enlighten me?

So you paid $2.99 each for 7 items the store bought for 25 cents each. The store bought 14 more.

The store gets about $21.00, and spent about $3.00. And got all their inventory back.

Yep, you showed them.

Sam Sam Sam...good to see you again. I haven't seen you since the blizzard threads from the winter.

It would mess up with groups/companies who measure sales in stores trying to figure out optimal supply amounts and price points.

Tee hee.

Why would you do this and why would any sane person go along with you?

Do you really believe that people work for FREE?

A PHYSICAL inventory doesn't happen?

Do you have ANY respect for the time of others?

Don't you think it would be better for the owner to sell something ONCE, pay the clerk ONCE for selling the item and NOT have in their PHYSICAL inventory not PAPERWORK for the RETURN?

Just WHERE did you go to school? Have you NO understanding of how a business is run and the COSTS involved? This childish stuff eats in the PROFIT of the small business. I'm thoroughly disgusted that an ADULT would lower themselves to this idiotic behavior!
