Stickin’ It to the Man

(A Mini How-to)

When life gives you lemons, you can make lemonade. Well…usually. But when it gives you mouldy tomatoes? I can only think of one thing rotten tomatoes are good for. Throwing!

After a long day at work, I was feeling a bit ornery, and upon being greeted by a bag of fuzzy produce, I decided to take it out on my favourite grocer. No, I didn’t *literally* throw the tomatoes at ******. Only metaphorically. Here’s how things shook down:

1. The goods
   • 1 x bag of mouldy tomatoes
   • 1 x receipt for said tomatoes
   • 1 x $0.70 off cereal coupon
   • 1 x ********** discount card
   • 1 x canvas tote bag
2. The plan: Get in, get a refund, get a good deal, get out.
3. The boon:
   • 1 x $5 box of cereal
   • 1 x receipt
   • $0.15
   • 1 x plastic bag…oops
4. The net result: a worthless bag of bad produce (original cost $1.75) traded for a $5 box of cereal and $0.15 change. Now that’s a refund. Thank you, ****!
