[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1786065, member: 18945"] It's Girl Scout cookie time again. Little bitty box now $5. AND..the mommies are outside walmart selling for the girls. Bought 4 boxes last night (my patriotic duty and my wife's penchant for those mint thins) then got into it with the mommy over a receipt. "Would you like a receipt?" Yes please. "Emailed?" No. "Do you have a phone?" Yes "Hold it up here" It's hanging on the wall at home. Paper receipt please. (little girl beside her looks at me strangely.. Mommy: "I can't do that. I don't have paper receipts" Just write it on the back of the box. She scrambles in her cash box and has no pen. "I can email it to you." I say: I don't want to have to keep a digital receipt file for the next 7 years. I thought your girl scout motto was 'Be Prepared'. Sigh.. Me: Hold my cookies, I'll be right back. Into Walmart, buy a pen and a book of receipts. I come out, pick up my 4 boxes of cookies and hand the little girl the pen and receipt book. Point up to my Marine cap. 'Adapt, Improvise, Overcome'. Get my paper receipt just as a somewhat younger guy behind me says "I can remember when they were 3 dollars a box.". Me: "I can remember when they were a buck and a quarter and a bigger box and the girls themselves came to your front door on a bicycle and sold the cookies themselves or while mommy waited in the car". Told the little girl "Just keep the pen. You'll meet a boy soon enough that is going to want your phone number" Little girl grinned. Mommy looked at me like I had shot her dog... [/QUOTE]
