| As a manager of a grocery store, I encounter a lot of real winners, but here is a truly EPIC one.
The guy walks up to me, while we're busy, mind you, with an OLD receipt. We're talking from like...October. Here's something else: This guy is kind of old, 60s or so, and he STUTTERS to no end. I don't find stuttering to be particularly funny or annoying, but when someone is trying to be unreasonable it's unbearable. This only frustrated me further.
Newb: I was in here in the past (when he said "past" I almost burst out laughing) and I think there's a problem here on my receipt.
Me: Okay, let me see...
Newb: I bought cabbage on this day, I remember it-it was CABBAGE. It wasnt ONIONS, it was CABBAGE. Your cashier charged me for the wrong food. I know I bought CABBAGE. I'm here because I want the difference refund for the CABBAGE I bought, not the ONIONS.
Yes, he stressed every time he said CABBAGE or ONIONS.
Me: Okay...do you have the CABBAGE with you?
Newb: Of course not! This was long ago. I need you to fix the mistake your cashier made!
Me: Okay so you're telling me you want me to refund you for a mistake that you can't prove actually happened? Something that happened almost a year ago?
Newb: I came and bought CABBAGE! I NEED the money for the CABBAGE.
Me: I'm sorry I can't do that. I can't give you a refund for something that doesn't exists.
At this point I notice that our Front End Manager marked on his receipt that she already refunded this for him!
Me: Um, a manager already gave you a refund for this?
Newb: Yes, I came in here and she was rude!
Me: Okay, well, she fixed the problem for you already.
Newb: NO NO NO she DIDNT. She did not give me the correct amount.
So this goes on for about 20 minutes. No joke. He eventually tells me that he is going to SUE me for this. He wants to take me to court over a matter of $8 or something. He asked for my name, I just told him my name is Matt (my damn nametag says it). The way this guy presented himself and talked...it was so amazing to watch. It's too bad I don't have it on tape. - Mood:amused

Chaudhry Rashid is accused of killing his daughter because she wanted to end an arranged marriage.
Maureen Miller
360° Writer
Did Chaudhry Rashid kill his 25-year-old daughter because she wanted out of an arranged marriage? Police in Clayton County, Georgia (south of Atlanta) say Rashid used a bungee cord to strangle her. But the Pakistani man was crying in court today when he told the judge he did nothing wrong. His wife called police Sunday morning after she heard screams. Their daughter, Kanwal, was found murdered in her bedroom. She recently got married in Pakistan in an arranged marriage. Police say her new husband is living in Chicago, but Kanwal stayed at her father’s home. According to the police report, “The victim was not interested in marrying, nor remaining married to her husband. That information came from Rashid’s wife. The report also mentions that the marriage was causing a “great deal of friction” between Rashid and his daughter. It says they hadn’t spoken in two months. At the scene of the crime, when police asked Rashid how his daughter died he didn’t not answer. According to the report, “He just dropped his head.” Was this an honor killing? We’d love to hear your thoughts on the case?
Also tonight, Obama fires back at his critics who say he’s moving to the middle.
We’ll share with you what he said today and let you be the judge. Plus, the veepstakes. Tonight, we have new details on who may be either Obama or McCain’s running mate.
And, a new wildfire in California is threatening 5,000 homes. Tonight, we’ll give you an up close look at one wildfire. Let’s just say — “kids don’t try this at home”.
Join us for those stories and more tonight on 360°.
Hope you’ll join us at 10pm ET.

| Robert Picardo told SCI FI Wire that he has not yet seen the completed version of the animated feature Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey, but that he is honored to be a lead voice in the film along with John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson and Sarah Michelle Gellar. "I had not yet seen the full animation," said Picardo, who voices the character of Milton in the animated SF adventure. "I've seen drawings and stuff, and I have recorded my part, and I'm proud to be in something that's not only a great, I think, educational tool for kids but ... stands alone as an entertainment as well and with an A list of voice talents like Samuel Jackson and, gosh, I can't even remember." http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?c ategory=0&id=57193 | |

|  Smoking has been banned in the Chicago production of Jersey Boys in order to comply with the city's strict new anti-smoking law, raising the possibility that scenes showing smoking in movies and television shows shot in Chicago will also be barred. Writing in today's (Tuesday) Chicago Tribune, theater critic Chris Jones writes that Michael Mann's Public Enemies, which was filmed in Chicago, is bound to show smoking. He then remarks facetiously, "Seize the print! Consider this an official complaint." Finally, Jones urges the city's aldermen to write "an exception for artistic purposes. A waiver. An understanding. Whatever. Heck, it doesn't even have to be for tobacco. It just has to allow Chicago's great artists to tell the truth." Oh, fuck that. Yes, smoking's bad, but let's not screw up movies for a dumb reason.source- Mood:okay

|  An angry Lindsay Lohan was snapped on the set of her upcoming romantic comedy Labor Pains in Los Angeles on Tuesday. With rumors swirling around that Lilo’s gal-pal Samantha Ronson recently purchased her lady love a $22 000 promise ring, a local LA radio station went as far as refering to La Lohan as a lesbian on the air today. After hearing the news, an irate Lindsay was spotted frantically calling and texting Samantha. Could this be the beginning of the end for the lovely couple? ( More Pics... ) Source | |

| Here is one that happened on my days off. My co-workers told me about it this morning.
On the 4th, a lady brought in a pair of jeans to be hemmed and a zippered hoodie sweatshirt that belonged to her friend that needed the zipper replaced. Since my boss was leaving on Saturday for his Alaskan cruise, we did the sweater right away. He likes to prepare zippers instead of the other person that preps things and wanted to make sure it was done nicely (plus, there was scant little else on our to-do rack). It was done on the same day and hung in the hold section, waiting for the jeans to be done.
So on Saturday, the girl phones us and says she wants to cancel the work being done on the sweatshirt and get her money back for it. She was told that it was already done, so she wasn't going to get her money back. Apparently, she pitched a hissy fit over it. She was mad that we had done the work that she paid us to do. She then asked, snottily, if her jeans were done as well. They weren't, but could be done in 5 minutes, so she was told yes. She said that she would be right down to pick her order up. ...She didn't come.
Sunday is closed, but on Monday, the friend (who owned the sweatshirt) phoned us and got really mad at us because we did the work. "I could have bought a NEW ONE for that price!" she claimed. The sweatshirt was practically new as it was... and the work was $14 for labour, $3 for the zipper (I believe.. or the labour could have been $17). Apparently she bitched for a while, then said she would come right down and get the order. ... She didn't come. She didn't come today either.
I can't believe how often people get mad at us for things like this.
If you pay us to do the work, don't get mad at us when we do the work! You paid us to do it!! - Mood:irritated

|  Gilberto Gil has released more than 50 albums in his career -- the latest is "Banda Larga Cordel," which came out this month. That puts him about 45 ahead of Devendra Banhart, but the Brazilian musical icon, 65, and the Los Angeles-based folk-rock eccentric share a passion for eradicating distinctions among musical genres, as they'll demonstrate when they play at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday as part of the KCRW World Festival series. Gil, who also has served as Brazil's minister of culture since 2003, made a crusade of eclecticism when he spearheaded the Tropicalia movement in the 1960s, and his intoxicating example resonates in the free-spirited approach of Banhart. The 27-year-old son of an American father and a Venezuelan mother might come off as an innocent, but in a conference call with Gil he showed that he's a serious student of his hero, and of South American music overall.

| 'Secret Life of the American Teenager' Star OK to be Teen Pregnancy Poster Girl
Juno sure was memorable. The Ellen Page movie was like a sentimental favorite to win last year's Oscars. Although it didn't happen, the film about teenage pregnancy raised awareness about the alarming rise in the trend, statistics wise. But Juno has been out of the theaters for some time now and for an issue as crucial as something that can wreck lives instantly, maybe the American audience needs constant reminder.
For its part, the premiere of The Secret Life of the American Teenager, the ABC Family drama that tackles the topic head on, broke records by becoming the network's most watched series, attracting 2.8 million viewers and, of special attention, to the 18 - 49 demographics.
In an interview with Fanbolt, Shailene Woodley, 16, who plays the central character in the series Amy Juergens, shared that she has no problems representing the issue of teen pregnancy, as she believes it is of utmost importance, not to mention being a teenager herself.
“So far I've done a PSA saying how teen pregnancy is preventable and how parents and teenagers can handle it … I want to express my feelings on teen pregnancy and how girls can be helped and how they can realize that they're not alone in this situation... by bringing it up again we're able to stir up different emotions and different feelings and different controversies and be able to put it in terms that are understandable for everybody.”
Moreover, Woodley hopes that The Secret Life of the American Teenager can affect change in terms of how parents view the lives of their teenage sons and daughters.
“I think parents should watch it, too … because Adrian's mom on the show, she has no idea what her daughter is doing half the time, so I think it's important for parents to be able to realize that when they leave for a week their teens aren't necessarily studying for algebra, they're doing something else. So I think it's important to open parents' eyes all around America.”
SEX IS OF THE DEBIL!!!
