Buddy tried to walk in with a 12 pack in his backpack. Obv he got caught. As security was busy searching every nook and cranny they were setting the beers on the table. I was already in and I was putting beers in my pockets just as quick as they were finding em. Ended up with 10/12 inside the venue.

this is a scene from a sitcom right?

Kohl's doesn't sell Perry Ellis coats though.

I found out they used to go to the library and look at old Sunday newspapers and take coupons out.

How cheap is that??

Cheapskates!

I hope they bring valid coupons next time. If there's a next time

In my mind, this was the lowest form of scum on earth, and though I did not say anything, I certainly judged him to be a low life as I stood there. Fast forward about four months. I am at the same restaurant, once again filling my drink cup. It suddenly occurs to me, that I needed salt back at my place. You know the rest.

About ten days ago, arriving at a new place for a short trip, after just loading up on groceries, I cooked myself a meal....went to the cupboard for some salt and pepper. There was pepper.....and.....some type of fake salt. I did not like the fake salt at all, and I mumbled...motherf**ker to myself as I enjoyed the meal less than I should have. The next day, after running to the grocery store for something, I forgot to buy the salt. However, I didn't realize this until I was sitting down at another semi fast food restaurant to eat shortly thereafter. You know the rest.

Of course, when I got back to the place I was staying, and looked in the closet next to the cupboard with the fake salt, I noticed one of those huge round containers of Morton's salt....the real stuff....the good stuff. Once again I mumbled...motherf**ker and continued my day.

One thing I don't think people have generally been accused of in this thread yet is being "bad at being stingy".

Anyway, every morning on the mail run, he'd stop at a local convenience store/gas station to purchase 2 Little Debbie snack cakes. They were $0.25 each. The sales tax in our area was such that if he bought 1, there was no tax. However, purchasing 2 meant the tax was enough to round up to a penny, making the total $0.51. Not only would he stand in line twice, buying them one at a time, he would pay for both with a credit card, as he made 1% on purchases.

Now we're going micro hahaha
