Meh, he was just doing his job. I would imagine most entry-level cashiers don't have the leeway to take less than what the register says for goods provided. He wasn't an A about it. He was just confused by the situation.

I think the most recent fictional adventure of kentry pretty much wraps it up for everyone out there- lest there be any doubters

Quote: Joeman

One evening back in college, I was hungry and the pizza place a block from the dorm had a special large 1-topping for $3.99. So, I scrounged my cash-on-hand and came up with exactly $4.23 (6% sales tax at the time), and called in my order.

When I went to pick it up, I put my money on the counter, but the clerk said it would be $4.25. Turns out they rounded their prices off to the nearest quarter (and, yes, sometimes down). Well, I tried to explain that it should be ($3.99 x 1.06 =) $4.23, and that was all I had on me, but the clerk would have none of it. For a brief while, we just stared at each other across the counter in a "well, what happens now?" type moment.

Finally, the manager saw what was happening and told the clerk, "Just take his money and give him the pizza."



Manager definitely made right call. I heard a story like this at a local restaurant, but it was only to the nickel. Well one customer didn't like it and eventually reported them, and they got in trouble for it.

Finally read this thread all the way through. Mission spent way too much time on that keno example, imo. I love math and all, but does Kentry?

I obviously hope it's just an elaborate ruse, but I'd feel bad if he isn't. And if he isn't, probably a bunch of people should get suspended. Quite a few people are having jokes at his expense.

No, I don't expect any suspensions from what's been said so far, or they'd have already been given (IMO anyway). That doesn't mean it's open season on him. But the forum also doesn't need to be run to cater to any one member's strengths or weaknesses either.

It is clear that most who have weighed in on the subject believe that the posts made by Kentry are not genuine.

I suspect Kentry's agenda is to try to provoke people into reacting in a way which will result in their suspension.

As for the content of Kentry's posts, there is no rule which specifically prohibits "creative writing."

There is, however, a rule which might provide a remedy.

Hello, rule 13:

" Nuclear option: Finally, if the site administrators feel that a member is so disruptive to the site, even while abiding by the rules above, a "nuclear option" may be invoked to permanently ban the offender. This will be used sparingly for only the worst of trolls. (Added 2/20/11)"

Regardless of what you said- whether you are taking the bus or train or car- the cost is more then 3 dollars to go pick it up- you don't even make any sense . And then you owe someone 3 dollars but you only have two. . What are you trying to accomplish with posting in here? What are you trying to gain knowledge wise it share with people?

Maybe that is fun to him, doesn't make sense to me though it seems like a lot of effort for what can't amount to more then 20 or even 50 spins - because even if he is playing pennies - without playing all the lines he can't be hitting anything

Went to Hialeah Park Casino for Free Play Thursday. Turned $3 into $5 in free play. Ran for the hills and will use free play on another day. Went home and found both good news and bad news. Bad news is bill that I have been paying every month now says I owe roughly $139. WTF? Good news. My check for $1,000 came to my house today. Am lucky that I have enough money to cover that horrible run at the Casino last week, enough to open up a secure Credit Card, and open up a new Bank account, plus pay that $139 bill. :)

Ah, but just think of the jackpot you could hit if you "invest" half of that $1000 in a high limit slot machine.

That's what the smart slotters do.

There is a lower house edge on the higher limit slots, so it makes sense financially.

Just one magical pull and you could be rich. Kentry.

Take a shot; what could go wrong?

It's only money, and your mom can always get more of that for you.

FYI. I have meet and communicated with GWAE and he's a good guy and I'm certain he has no nefarious motives or anything to worry about. Other members have meet him as well. I haven't heard or found anything that's been anything less than honest and reputable.

So PLEASE respond to his offer.
I have defended you regarding WON however if for some reason you balk at this offer I'll assume the worst.

Boz has extended an invitation as well. He's a good guy and there nothing to fear, unless you have something to hide.

I assume since you seem to be struggling and oftentimes low on cash a nice meal would be appreciated.
