He ended up not buying that one book out of principle which I'm sure forced the publisher into affecting a price change

Hey, I worked at Borders too. I think I was gone before 2007 though. But I was IPT so I stocked the shelves mostly and only had 1-2 hours of register or cafe per day.

Grocery is much worse. Hundreds of items per order, nothing interesting like books to talk about, etc

There was a dude today who brought in some old receipts with some coupons he "forgot" to cash in. Fair enough, it happens a lot, and we note it on the receipt and give them cash. I saw he had more than one receipt, but at the third one I was like... oh... I see what's going on. There's this $5 off $30 purchase coupon out there, and he basically pulled these out of the trash and was getting $5 for each one by pretending he forgot the coupons for each. He got like $30.

He kept on nervously saying his daughter keeps forgetting so this is why he had a lot etc. Asked if it would be easier to do them all at once. Made me sad :(

stop smoking so damn much. If you cut back to one bowl a day (I am going to guess you smoke at least twice daily) you will start to feel your tolerance lower after only a few days

this sounds interesting




had a good night. my cousin and I met at galaxy hut but then she wanted to go to georgetown to meet some of her coworkers at clyde's, so I didn't really get the galaxy hut experience. next time maybe, she lives right down the street. We drank many beers and did a crossword at the bar, talked shit about my shit sister and my heroin addled cousin from texas. next thing I know it was midnight.

redbreegull 03-22-2014 01:25 AM

now i really want to smoke a bowl and play gta v but I think I might be too out of it from sleeping less than 4 hours a night all week long.

slunken 03-22-2014 01:26 AM

as long as you and gta are both consenting :jimmy:

This seriously gives you permanent brain damage

Serial

Bread Regal 03-22-2014 01:34 AM

we are friendly. our relationship is pure business though. he once invited me to come with him to lousiana for a soul asylum show.

tonight was surreal though. there was a guy there. Alan. i hadnt met him before, but he has apparently been my dude's friend for 17 years. he was whiskey drunk when i arrived and he was forgetting elements of our conversation that occurred 5 minutes prior.

so it was a little hang out with about 5 people and every sentence that came out of his mouth was like one non sequitur after another. at one point my dude said "nigger" (he's got a little bit of a racism problem) and the guy got really tense and upset that this word was said and he kind of walked around the apartment punching walls.

the rest of us kind of stared at each other. silence. he walks back into the room a minute later, kind of laughing. tension slightly released. he enters the walk in closer and grabs a soft guitar case, looks at me and says my name really firmly.

"JOHN."

"Alan," my dude says "please put that away."

"JOHN."

"Alan..."

"JOHN."

"Alan. Please."

I'm looking at the guitar case and am noticing that it appears a bit smaller than a guitar. Alan puts it away. Closes the door.

"Thanks Alan."

So we talk some more and say our salutations. Alan walks up to me and whispers loudly "I was holding a gun."

Without hesitation, my dude asks one of the other guests to lock the door behind me.

And then I left.

all that for a nickel bag?

Bread Regal 03-22-2014 01:37 AM

i go very seldom.

yeah I just read that actually. Unfortunately I already have years of sleeping half the recommended amount under my belt, which is probably why I'm stupid enough to believe in things like liberalism and freedom.

Bread Regal 03-22-2014 01:39 AM

this guy once said that he does not judge anybody by the color of their skin but rather by the shape of their skull

slunken 03-22-2014 01:39 AM

if anything you should be able to get pity pinches from your dealer. "sorry alan was such a dick" *extra pinch* "he's really fucked up lately" *extra pinch*

Bread Regal 03-22-2014 01:41 AM

when i pulled out my wallet he said "pay me whenever you can." but i gave him the money.

had i not gotten that settlement check, i might have just kept the 30 bucks.

Trotskilicious 03-22-2014 01:44 AM

oh christ el taquito is so goddamn good

TuralyonW3 03-22-2014 01:53 AM

That's kinda terrifying JB

TuralyonW3 03-22-2014 01:53 AM

The "loud whisper" at the end creeps me out the most...

slunken 03-22-2014 01:54 AM

dealing drugs is illegal its part of the lifestyle every time is a game of chicken with death

Trotskilicious 03-22-2014 01:55 AM

you should have been like ALAN I KNOW, HE SAID NIGGER

Trotskilicious 03-22-2014 01:55 AM

hey you ever end up being with someone who wants to make sure you know he's a racist in the first 15 minutes of meeting them

thats most racists isn't it.

i don't think im going back

Trotskilicious 03-22-2014 02:03 AM

my dealers in austin have been all aces

first it was rusty, a ginger mexican with golgotha tattooed on his neck, completely incomprehensible when he was drunk. knocked up a 17 year old. i lost touch after that. he was a good guy though, never played false and was always straight up even though he was absolutely a gangster. i always just felt very out of place

then it was mark, who i used to talk about the collapse of civilization and athiesm with and we'd watch archer. he moved to colorado

now it's real name redacted because he works for a major austin festival, and he has all of the sp that he can grab on vinyl

Shallowed 03-22-2014 03:23 AM

Traffic was crazy today and I don't know why. My girlfriend and I met up, went out for coffee, then went to those markets and I bought an Unknown Pleasures t shirt. The guy was charging $35 dollars but I haggled him down to 25 because that's all I had.

Then we went back to my place, made coconut and coriander tofu and veges, fed my flatmates chickens and now she's studying.

Maybe Alan is an undercover bodyguard and his job is to scare people into leaving
