They’d steal a hot stove and come back for the smoke. BTW, if you have 97 cents on your gift card, you can apply it towards a purchase.
I had a $5.00 ACE Rewards Card and wanted to buy something that cost $4.99 (with tax $5.32). The cash register would not process the order. I told the girl, “I have a $0.02 cent 6-32 nut here”, holding up an imaginary nut, “please add it to the order”, making my order $5.34, with tax. Once it went through, I “handed” the cashier back my imaginary 6-32 nut, explaining that I found that I did not actually need it and got a $0.02 cent refund (it’s the principle). She had a wry smile throughout the transaction.
Clever, yes.
