Yeah. I ran the numbers through the calculator and forgot that I was counting pennies, not dollars. Just call me Verizon Man.


Just watched "verizon man" and my response is "duh", reminds me of some kids I've taught.
Thanks for sharing that, it was hilarious.

You see that sort of thing so often in stores that someone on another board I frequent had fantasized paying a penny for an item marked .99¢ and saying, "Keep the change."

half dozen chicken wings. The kid at the counter, said: "Sorry,
