Receipts



This morning I went down to the lobby of the hotel/inner city shelter that I'm staying in and bought a USA Today. I love USA Today. Good puzzles. Good pictures. The USA Today was $1.09. They usually are 75 cents but I guess they charge a dollar. I give the lady my money, she gives me the change and then with the change, stuffed into my supple milky white palm, she gives me THE RECEIPT. For $1.09. I have to take this receipt. It's very important. I don't know why but if I don't take it the clerk will become highly agitated and quite possibly violent.

I'm not buying a car. I don't need a receipt to register this paper with the DMV. I'm not going to return it for a refund. I'm going to leave it somewhere so a cheap pilot can find it and be fulfilled that he didn't pay $1.09 for the paper.

Weird. I'm tired of these silly receipts.
