    I spent $40 on a burger, fries, & 4 bottled beers Monday. I should mention it was Matt’s Bar, it was a Jucy Lucy, and I was drinking Nordeast. Well worth it.

    Awesome!
    I want to do both places when I visit there next.
    How was the burger?

    Reminds me of when I had a gym membership that was about $49.99/month and then we moved and I couldn't get it cancelled for months because they told me I had to come in person to do it. Then I went there and the person working didn't even really know anything and told me I needed to come back earlier in the day so I could talk to the manager. Fucking rip-off.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Bought Black Mountain's IV on orange vinyl off discogs. The reason? it was supposed to come with a cd of demos. It didn't. Douche that sold it to me said "it was sealed, as far as we knew it should have been included. take it up with the label". 

    Awesome. reminds me of the $40 I spend here.

    Ha! That sounds totally shady! Was it on a credit card? You could have just stopped allowing paying, or cancel the card. But that is total BS

    Today I spent $40 on my home insurance (fire/damage/theft), as I do every month. $40 for peace of mind isn't a bad deal.
