that reminds me...I really gotta call Hedy one of these days.

CHERRY HILL?

Can't you get a Nissan there as well?

Yes, yes you can!

If you can't get it in Cherry Hill, you don't need it. :haha:

Just had a woman come in and ask if we have any double-D batteries.

We don't, but you know, a good pair of double-Ds will last you a long time.

We have a bunch of electronic scales at the shop, but we're having a hard time getting rid of them. It turns out they are only accurate to 0.1 gram.

Just had two college kids come in and look at them but reject them for that reason. We speculate that they need this level of accuracy for powder-type drugs. We speculate that if they are selling weed they don't need that level of accuracy.

We had a huge laugh at the notion that they are doing some sort of science.

Those would be great for weighing out hops. What's the max weight?

I've got a nice digi darkroom scale that weighs in grams, grains, ounces, and drams. You really only need oz and g for hops. I bet if you listed them on ebay as homebrewing supplies they'd fly off the shelf.

Here they are

"weighs up to 500g at 0.1g increments. It also weighs in oz, ct or gn at the press of a switch."

So far, we have only used our electronic scale for pinewood derby cars and for science fair projects. That's honestly the reason I bought it, but I thought we would also use it for food.

(FYI, OXO makes one of the best kitchen scales. The display is removable on a wire that pulls out, so if you put a big bowl on the scale you can pull the display out to read it. On most other scales, a large bowl will cover the display, blocking your view of it.)

Dueling thugs.

I deal with thugs every day people. Guy comes in with his posse and he has put down $30 in a layaway on a camcorder. Then he says, he bought the same camcorder somewhere else and would like his $30 back.

But it doesn't work like that - a layaway is painful for us, because it means we can't sell the item and have to just sit on it for 90 days, and we have to track the item carefully, etc.

So we don't just give people their money back. We give them store credit. So his buddy, on his behalf, starts going off and getting really loud, saying shit like "Now you got a problem, I ain't leaving this shop until we see $30 and you can call the cops if you want." Being vaguely threatening, you know.

His friends are now trying to calm him down because they don't want any shit, but at the same time they're all complaining, they don't want anything in the shop.

Now another pair of gentlemen come in with a Toshiba laptop. They've stolen it. I tell you, after a while you know what's stolen and who's stealing. Every day I see it. Thugs. This pair offers up the reason why they are selling the laptop today: "Tired of it."

But now, you know, there's a new dynamic in the shop. Thug group #1 wants to continue to cause trouble. But thug group #2 prevents this, because they are motivated to do business. This immediately causes group #1 to settle down and my co-worker sells them on the idea of getting some video games for their store credit while I take my good old time buying in the laptop.

Fuckin' thugs. I am so tired of these fuckin' thugs.

Good luck with your new reality TV show - The Real Thugs of North Philly.

Thug Stars on the History Channel.

"One thing I've learned after 30 weeks in this business is, you know a couple of thugs are going to walk through that door."
