Try and get a refund if the receipt doesn't have the line on it.
What I think is fun at Rat Shack is to tell them VERY seriously that your
name is Zool or Bozo, 1122 Boogie Boogie Ave, Clowntown, Nebraska.
OTOH if they ask for your zip, hand them a zip cartridge.
IF they ask for phone number, give them the part number of a phone.
IF they ask for address, 213.23.187.12
On the same token, how many of you have gone to
one of those computer
superstores like CompuUSA or Fry's and felt totally indignant at having to
have your bag checked and receipt highlighted with a marker for apparently
no good reason?
Actually from what I understand there is a good reason. Namely they don't
trust thier own employees! Supposedly they're checking to make sure that
the cashiers charged you for everything you got.
