Once that is done you launch a complaint with PayPal and tell them you never received the package but paid in full. 9 out of 10 times PayPal will refund you your money in full regardless of what the seller says. They have a policy that favors the buyer. They want people to be sending money so they can make take their percentage, if someone gets screwed they won't stick with PayPal and the company losses money.

Why would you offer advice on how to fraud honest people and businesses?

Jews are not any more intelligent than the average Gentile.

I teach at a Jewish university.

Apparently builders are also keen on using your house as their toilet while it's under construction. If you smell piss in your basement, it is literally piss in your basement.

A majority of people in the construction trade to a shit load of drugs. Welders, Heavy Equipment Operators, Carpenters etc... Unless You're working for a nuclear powerplant or an airforce base where they can't have any fuck ups and give you random drug test.

We have this nuclear powerplant out here called Diablo Canyon. Back in the late 70's and early 80's it was the best place to get any kind of drug you where looking for. You could get anything. Of course this was before all the regulations applied.

Because you stated that even if you wished to charge 1 cent on your VISA, a retailer must do it without asking you to buy a minimum. That's not true, they don't have to and most probably wont.

My friend is the head editor at Gizmodo.com (gadget and game reviews; mostly gadgets). Gets tons of cool stuff. In his case, you need a degree in computer science from BU, a past writing career with WIRED magazine, and some luck.

Ah. That's not what I meant but I see how what I wrote wasn't entirely clear.

When you are in your produce section and you see your veggies being sprayed by the sprinkler things (say lettuce), the primary motivation for that isn't to keep your food "fresh and moist" or some shit. Produce is weighed, and water adds weight. Straight from my manager.

BTW, thanks jackasses. I've got about 20 minutes til my final exam, after blowing about an hour perusing this thread. Hope your happy, awesome thread.

Totally left field but I love when I'm in the produce section and suddenly hear the clap of thunder right before the water starts to spray. haha. So stupid but so fun. It's a nice little touch that's completely unnecessary but nice to have.
