Rant Number One: Tight arse corner stores

[Diego]

I need to rant.

I just went to my local corner store that sells "singles". By that I mean single cigarettes. See I don't get paid until 4 this afternoon and I am a little short of money. So I go there with 2.8 to buy some singles..as I usually do.

Anyway I order my 5 ciggies, as they sell them for 50 cents each. I then joke around to the silly woman that I am short of 20 cents for another one and if I could maybe come back later and give her the 20 cents along with purchasing some over priced Milk and bread.

She proceeds to give me the "No No you buy when you come later". I was shocked..and ****ed off. How could people be so tight and not allow me to pay the 20c later in the afternoon? After all I go and buy some of their over priced stuff most of the time. It's incredible..it might bankrupt her and the business might shut down due to me not paying the 20cents. This is the same people who I have sprung at IGA buying the 80 cent drinks that are on special and then having the hide to sell them each at 2.80. Mind you I let her know about that. Also I sprung her hubby replacing good toilet paper with **** paper and then re sealing the packaging.

So I am going to report these scumbags to the consumer watchdog for blatantly ripping people off....not that many people go there.

Too my luck the decent Mixed Business down the road sells "singles" for 40 cents each and was kind enough to let me off 20 cents. Plus they are reasonable with their prices.


****ed Off!!

Sorry mate, but i've got to have a bit of a chuckle at your expense here. You have $2.80 to your name and you use it to buy 5 ciggies, and try to swindle a 6th on partial credit? What's your job - paperboy?

 

[Diego]

Why would I need it to buy anything else. Fridge is full of food. I just wanted a few ciggies.

I see how it might be funny to you. Yes I sell papers everyday and only make a pittance.

Haha, that whole story is gold

Isn't it illegal to sell single cigarettes? I thought the law was they had to be in a package containing at least 20 cigarettes. Or does that law not apply in NSW?

I can't wait for rant number 2.

 

[Dogwatcher]

As far as rants go - this ranks up there with the Neighbours - DIRTY thread.
How about ranting against the socialist protestors, US/Aust bombing of Iraq, the way in which Sadamn Hussein uses his people as pawns on the battle front

- but no, the best rants we can come up with are my dog jumped a fence and the corner shop's a tight arse. Dang, something stinks around here!

 

[Murph]

Geez, does the shop sell you the "Picture" magazine as well (because it is not quite as rude.

Or do they draw the line at that and tell you pesky schoolkids to pi** off.

So you have to leave on your BMX with your pie and Strawberry Big M.

Hang on, how old are you again?

Class.

 

[GoEagles]

That is a tight arse deli. I can't imagine them selling individual ciggarettes.

What next? Half a toucan/twinpole icecream? A pie with no meat filling?
