1. I think the US should get rid of the Mervyn's.

I like Penney's.

[Atman]

2. You mean Jean Claude Penney?

Or do you speak of our coin, the penny?

(sorry, the DU spelling police just pulled me over, so I'm sharing the love!)

3. No

but the WalMart is evil.

4. I don't shop there much so I am noncommital.

5. Hey!!! I shop at Penney's

How can I pick up my lay-aways if you get rid of them?

6. Should actually get rid of all currency

Having paper and metal currency is very outdated and unnecessary.

8. Save your barcodes

saviour barcodes :/

11. Cash is the only way to make untracable purchases

Very useful if you like to buy books critical of the administration :)

12. They have your image on one or two fuzzy black & white

frames from the surveillance camera. Don't kid yourself.

15. an image that is erased almost immediately

i could insert funny story here abt how me the short busty blonde was mistaken for the skinny chinese chick half my age, but it isn't really v. funny, since they didn't fix it, and it cost her $300, i did offer to testify for her but the tape was gone and no one believed me they just thought i was trying to help her out

video surveillance tapes are kept only a few days, sometimes only a few hours

if you are relying on them to prove you're not ms. X doing Y then good luck on that one

7. When was the last time you made exact change/spent a penny?

I never do. I never carry any, as soon as I get them they end up in a jar & I end up getting more.

9. I run a "pennies imprisoned in jars" rescue mission...

I rehabilitate them, set them free and make them productive in society again. Please send your imprisoned pennies to ......

:rofl:

10. my penny jar is half full!

That means at least $10! :bounce:

otherwise known as the rainy day fund. :)

[pitohui]

13. every time i make a purchase

i have a little altoids tin of change including pennies, what's the big deal?

some people actually do have cash, we're not all credit card junkies yet

[The_Casual_Observer]

14. Is that you I hear coming up the walk?

[pitohui]

16. probably!

it's either me or the chinese chick!
