... without paying for/buying something.
You go to the store to see if they sell the item you want/need, or to check prices.
You don't find what you need or you have to check the price with another store.
Do you buy something small to get pass the counter staff, so that they don't suspect you of wanting to/attempting to shoplift?
Or do you just waltz out, past the checkout without buying anything?
Ie, you just brush past a customer, when you see a space that you could use to get out.
Sam's Warehouse s around Adelaide has this, I feel I have to buy something to get past! I feel I just can't walk out past the check out staff without doing so.
Eh?

I'm having a stay in with movies night tonight. Today I've watched two films already, heathers and fatal attraction. I forgot how good both of those films are.
What are some other 'oldie' but goodies?

Recently i noticed through various threads that there seems to be a lack of faith on the YC. Seems to be a lot of skeptics. Just pointing that out.
Talk politics was always good for an argument.

Where have they all gone?
There were several in my street, when I was a child
And I recall one that lived near a mate of mine, up close & personal with my mother's Corolla, soon after I got my licence (boomph!,......yipe, yipe, yipe, yipe, yipe!)
But I havent seen one in years
Did they all get run over, thereby eliminating the car-chasing gene from the canine population?

On Tuesday we were told that the company Christmas party is going to be this coming Monday night at 8pm. This coming Monday night at 8pm!!
This is so the owner of the company can watch football instead of having to socialize with the commoners. From what I'm told, this is the first time that the office staff, and warehouse staff/drivers are invited. I guess he doesn't want to get stuck talking to a truck driver.
And it's in the city, where I hate to drive alone, especially at night so I'm catching a ride with the guy in our office, which means I'll probably have to stay later then I want to (he likes football).
Merry Christmas?

Mine is a Costco membership card. I can't tell you how much money I've wasted on impulse spending and things that I would usually buy on sale at Target or the supermarket seem more expensive at Costco.

I know there's WOS but I'd like a non-retarded thread about the 2010 WC draw.
And there's been a huge number of threads here that should go to stinkfinger.
Englands Group:
England
USA
Algeria
Solvenia
Could that have gone any better?
Anyone know yet who are the likely 2nd round & QF opponents? (when the penalties will take their natural course).
