Note the fine print: "Giant Gas Rewards points will expire 30
days from date of issuance." So, all
Harry has to do is spend $1000 at Giant in 30 days, and within
the same 30 days he can save $1 per
gallon on gas.
So, in order to get a $1.00 per gallon discount, you must spend
$1000 to earn 1000 points.
Gee, what a math whiz...
Just to add to the fun:
Every week, I spend the following at Giant on our indoor pets:
Petfood $ 30
Clean Litter $ 52
That's $82 a week x 4 weeks = $328. That's 328 of 1000 points.
How many cats do you have?
I'm guessing he has two? I spend about 1/2 that on food. I buy the
litter in bulk and it lasts forever.
I was just curious. I have a 100 pound dog and he only eats about $15
a month in food, plus whatever he gets from our meat scraps. I spend
more on dog treats.
Every good deed gets a "cookie". The up side to that is he is getting
a lot more civilized. Not bad for a "3 time loser" at the pound.
Based on that, 200# of cats = over a dozen fat cats - if any of it were
true.
Well, he made it up
If he really had bought all the stuff he said he
did, he would have known that half of it wasn't eligible, even more, he
wouldn't have gotten the discount he based the whole lie on in the first
place...
Dumb, dumber, and dumbest...extrapolating cat food intake and cost from
what a dog eats, in terms of quality or price or quantity. Our cats eat
a mix of wet and dry food, and neither brand is cheap.
Oh, we have more than two cats.
As always, I'm happy to provide some entertainment for several of the
right-wing mooks here. :)

You perform a public service... keeping those dopers off the street and
from harassing innocent bystanders. ;-)
It is a little bit of fun to watch the mooks twisting on the end of the
hooks on which they've set themselves. :)
As an example, two or three of the mooks actually looked up the web page
on which Giant Food lists the rules and regs for its gas discount plan.
One of the boys said, "well, prescriptions are not included." Except,
the last time I got an Rx at Giant, the clerk asked me for my Giant
Discount Card, saying that prescriptions "now" qualified. Previously, I
had been told at that counter that "pharmacy items" did not qualify.
Now, is it still the same...do prescriptions still qualify? I don't
know. And prescriptions weren't the only items that were at first off
and then on the qualification list.
What does this tell you?
Two things: Giant is flexible enough to change its programs to suit its
needs, and that some of the boys here are overwhelmed by their own rigid
personality disorders, and can't see the forest for the trees.
But we already knew that.
