After buying a freezer, I was asked to show my receipt

[Orrex]

The greeter was courteous enough, but so what? I declined, muttering something irrelevant about my Civil Rights, and I howled my indignation. The greeter called for the manager.

While we were waiting, I took time to blog about my experience, painting myself as the innocent, injured victim while griping about the hegemony of corporate America and the irrelevance of private property and loss control.

Then the manager showed up and likewise courteously asked to see my receipt. Again I declined.

At this point, they started spouting some nonsense about corporate policy, so I killed both of them with my bare hands, stuffed them into my freezer, and brought them home. They're now chilling quite comfortably in my basement, to preserve freshness.


Honestly, what else could I have done in that situation?

1. you were within your rights

except for the murdering part. :shrug:

[Orrex]

2. Well, that was the best part!

In one stroke, I resolved the confrontation and justified the purchase of the freezer!

3. You should have killed them with the freezer (crushed them with it).

Then you could have displayed the inherent dangers of our consumer-driven society, and how, ultimately, it crushes even those who work to support it (sometimes literally).

4. You could have stuff the freezer down your pants and made a

run for it.

5. Yeah! "Coldcock" 'em! (nt)

[Deja Q]

6. Is there a male equivalent to the condition known as "frigidity"?

:hide:

17. ....

Iceballs?:D

[sarge43]

24. Yes.

19. It would have been a little too obvious

Since I already had a computer desk down there.

[sarge43]

25. I'd say the obvious train left the station when you publicly

stuffed two bodies into a freezer. My suggestion would have been merely showy, at best gaudy.

(typo)

7. Freezers have momentum.

I'd have got going so fast there was no way to stop.

Just scream 'No breaks!' as you zip by the greeter.

[redwitch]

9. I believe there are state laws that require employees to take breaks.

The greeter is entitled to the protection of the law just like anyone else. :-)

"Get outta my way" or "no brakes!" might be a more appropriate thing to yell on your way past, otherwise he will just think you are anti-labor.

14. Damned spell check!

Needs to read my mind, not just my spelling!

16. LOL

That's how I'll make my first million! I will design the MindRead software!

[suninvited]

8. I have been asked for my receipt before after making a purchase

why doesnt that bother me? I just show it to them.

[Orrex]

20. Was it before or after?

"Before after making a purchase."

You just blew my mind!

[suninvited]

26. Very funny.

I have previously been asked for a receipt after making a purchase.

Is that better?

[Deep13]

10. Well you could have composted them. Just saying. nt

[TZ]

11. Okaaaay......

I think I'm going to have to change your nick from Kewpie Doll to Chuckie!!!
Nobody asks Chuckie for HIS receipt!!!:rofl:
Watching too many slasher movies after reading GD are we...:rofl:

[driver8]

12. Did you have to purchase a meat cleaver from housewares to get them in the freezer?

If so, we will need to see that receipt, also.

[Orrex]

18. Well, I stole the cleaver

It's cheaper that way, and after I've hacked them to bits, I can say "I don't own a cleaver" without having to worry about a pesky receipt showing up.

[LSK]

13. why on earth did you

not want to show the receipt?

:shrug:

[Dr. Strange]

15. Nice post, Dexter.

Next time, use your taser, bro.

[TZ]

21. Psst..DuStrange....

Orrex has a freezer in his trousers..its quite frightening, really (and quite chilling!):D

[Dr. Strange]

22. So, in a "nut"shell...

Orrex has blue balls?

:shrug:

[TZ]

ice balls...Call Mel Brooks! I sense a movie opportunity...!:D
