In past "Throwback Thursdays", I'd posted some unusual 'photo-ops' of signs that had major mistakes that nobody noticed. This is due to the fact that I have this ability to spot the error (having wanted to be a 'proofreader' when I'd first moved to Florida over a score ago)...
For example, I saw a recent newspaper ad for upcoming Florida Panthers ice hockey games - with one of the games against the Philadelphia Flyers... except they misspelled the city PHILIDELPHIA!
Now, last weekend, my brother Glenn and I ate out at a local Boston Market restaurant - paying our bills separately. My bill came out to $10.05, but I didn't have a ten-dollar bill on me. So, I took out of my wallet a twenty, along with five pennies, and gave it all to the cashier - expecting to receive a ten-spot as my change... Apparently, said cashier must've been a newbie at the restaurant, because he rang up a total that floored both me and my brother!
My latest 'photo-op' is that of the Boston Market receipt with the monetary mistake on it (which has not - in any way, shape, or form - been altered). Once again, my proofreading skills can be both a blessing and a curse; and this time, the curse was on the cashier!

I can see it now, he actually gives you 2 grand in change, then at closing time, the boss or supervisor calls Marcus to his office...
"Marcus, can you please explain to me, why on earth we are missing two thousand dollars in the till? I am just curious"
The discrepancy did make itself very clear, and I thought also, You paid two grand? Seriously? Ehm oki, I guess you can do that.. I guess Mr Drupmfey pays well :)
Love it very much.. You could have taken the change, and then looked at the receipt and said, "Hay, according to this, I should have a little more than you gave me back... ;) "
