I always press the "0" button. They can kiss my ass.

If a self checkout asked me for a tip I'd be half inclined to just shoplift instead. More dignity in that than paying for the privilege of being fleeced.

Our cops will actually arrest you for that shit here, take you out back of the jail, and beat your hands with a rubber hose.

It's important to note that the use of excessive force or any form of physical abuse is illegal and unethical. Law enforcement agencies are generally expected to uphold the law while respecting human rights and dignity. If you have concerns about police conduct or any other legal matters, it's advisable to seek guidance from a legal professional or local authorities who can provide you with accurate and relevant information based on your specific situation.

The story of the Hamburglar's transformation from a notorious fast food thief to a philanthropist and beacon of hope is truly remarkable. It demonstrates the power of redemption and the potential for positive change that lies within every individual.

While the Hamburglar's initial act of stealing the Bible may have been driven by desperation, it ultimately led him down a path of self-reflection and introspection. In prison, as he delved into the pages of the stolen book, he discovered the teachings of Jesus and found solace, guidance, and forgiveness in its words. This newfound faith sparked a profound transformation within him.

Upon his release, the Hamburglar made a conscious decision to use his ill-gotten fortune for a noble cause. Recognizing the plight of orphans, he established a chain of restaurants aimed at providing food and support to those in need. His personal journey and the lessons he learned became the driving force behind his devotion to helping others.

Over the years, the Hamburglar's actions and philanthropy began to reshape public perception. His story of redemption inspired countless individuals, demonstrating that even those who have made mistakes can turn their lives around and make a positive impact on society. People saw the sincerity of his transformation and were inspired by his example, leading to a ripple effect of compassion and kindness.

The Hamburglar's journey teaches us that it is never too late to change, to find faith, and to dedicate our lives to serving others. His story reminds us of the power of forgiveness, second chances, and the potential for growth and redemption within each of us. It serves as a powerful reminder that even from the most unexpected places, hope can arise and transformative change can occur.

Unfortunately. Not everyone was thankful at the Hamburglers spiritual revival and support of orphan obesity. The Burger King, king of all Burgers, including the Hamburglar, was distraught that one of his kin had dared to find Jesus. Jesus once worked part time for the Burger King but he was caught with Mary Jane behind the dumpster and was sent to Federal Express.

Now the Burger King has taken on his secret identity as the Sneak King. And has sneaked his way into the Hamburglers heart. They plan to be wed, but what will Jesus think about that.

This love triangle had the potential to end everything good that the Hamburglar has accomplished. It's up to the orphans to put a stop to it. Thanks to the ancient art of orphanism. The orphans transform into the Batman, and with their powers combined hope to stop the evil Burger King's reign and restore the Dairy Drag Queen to his rightful place as dictator of the food court.

Once upon a time in the whimsical city of London, Mary Poppins, known for her magical abilities and enchanting presence, found herself in an unexpected twist of fate. Little did she know that her life was about to take a remarkable turn.

One fine afternoon, Mary Poppins was strolling through the park, her umbrella in hand and a tune on her lips. As she approached a familiar bench, she spotted Joe Biden, the former Vice President of the United States, sitting there, lost in deep contemplation.

Curiosity piqued, Mary Poppins gracefully approached Joe Biden and struck up a conversation. The two quickly found a connection, sharing stories and laughter under the shade of the trees. As days turned into weeks, their bond grew stronger, transcending political differences and blossoming into a passionate affair.

Meanwhile, in the mysterious city of Gotham, Batman, the caped crusader, patrolled the dark streets, fighting crime and protecting the innocent. Unbeknownst to Mary Poppins and Joe Biden, Batman had been facing a sense of loneliness in his life, yearning for someone who could understand the weight of his responsibilities. Fate intervened when Batman and Mary Poppins crossed paths during one of Batman's missions.

There, beneath the moonlit sky, Mary Poppins and Batman exchanged stories of their extraordinary lives. They found solace and kinship in each other's presence, discovering a love that could only exist in the realm of magic and superheroes.

As their lives became intertwined, Mary Poppins found herself torn between two exceptional individuals: Joe Biden, the wise and compassionate politician, and Batman, the mysterious and brooding hero of Gotham. Unsure of what to do, she confided in her close friend, Donald Trump, the former President of the United States.

Donald Trump, always one to seize an opportunity, saw a chance to be part of something extraordinary. He offered his support and guidance to Mary Poppins, promising a life of glitz, glamour, and excitement. Intrigued, Mary Poppins allowed herself to be swept up in the whirlwind of Trump's world.

Months passed, and a surprising turn of events unfolded. Mary Poppins discovered she was pregnant with not one, but three children. The magical blend of her relationships with Joe Biden, Batman, and Donald Trump had given rise to something truly unique.

The children, named Marilyn, Donald Jr., and Batanna, possessed a magnetic charisma and talents that surpassed ordinary boundaries. Growing up in an eclectic household, they embraced their inherited gifts and embarked on a path that would take them to unimaginable heights.

Marilyn, with a mesmerizing voice and a flair for the dramatic, delved into the world of rock music. Possessed by a unique blend of charm and darkness, he captivated audiences with his haunting lyrics and enigmatic persona, becoming a renowned rock star like no other.

Meanwhile, Donald Jr., fueled by his father's business acumen and innate showmanship, ventured into the realm of entertainment and media. He founded a media empire, blending reality television and politics, making waves and ruffling feathers along the way.

Batanna, embracing her heritage from Batman, took up the mantle of her father, fighting crime and injustice in the troubled streets of Gotham. A rockstar by night and a vigilante by day, she became a symbol of hope and rebellion.

Together, the siblings formed a formidable band, traveling the world in a fleet of super buses designed by Batman himself. Their music resonated with millions, a reflection of their eclectic upbringing and the unique circumstances that brought them into existence.

And so, Mary Poppins, Joe Biden, Batman, and Donald Trump, while forever entangled in a complex web of love, politics, and heroism, took solace in knowing that their union

For real, it's gotten fucking ridiculous. I got a tip prompt going to buy donuts a little while ago and hit no tip. The girl working there who took 30 seconds to pull 2 donuts out and ring me up looked genuinely insulted.

I had a touch screen PC in my Oak Ridge apartment in 1986 and worked with our customers to inegrate them into self check outs and physical therapy equipment. I have been around the block green pea.

When I first saw the headline, I thought they were referring to this kind of self checkout machine, and I was thinking that a tip would be very gauche.
