We interrupt this Gore-filled page to bring you an amusing story

Not that a Gore-filled page isn't wonderful - just thought you might like a humorous break.

I live in a very RED part of Indiana. My Iraq War Veteran husband (and Pagan) needed some items to finish painting our bedroom. He gets a 10% Military Discount at the local Lowe's, so he always shops there.

At the checkout he hands over his Military ID card to the cashier to get his discount. The lady behind him says, "Do I get a church discount?"

Without missing a beat, the cashier said "No you don't. This man earned it."

:rofl: :rofl:

2. Love that!

Thanks for a spirit-lifter to end my day.

And blessings to you and your husband. I feel prety sure that he as a pagan is far more Christian than most of the Christians I know!

4. You would be correct

It is quite interesting being in a mixed marriage (I am Christian), especially when we are around the Xtians!

Thanks! :hi:

3. Oh SNAP!

brilliant!

5. Good for that cashier! And good for Lowe's giving the military discount! nt

6. I can't laugh because I'm totally disgusted with that lady's question!

:puke:

It's bad enough that Churches don't pay taxes, but now their members want discounts?! :wtf:

7. I'm really having a problem with it myself!

WHAT was she thinking? Did she seriously believe that she should get a discount for belonging to a church????

But the story is a good one - thanks for posting it. And high-five from another pagan to your hubbie!

[AwakeAtLast]

9. Thanks!

:hi:

8. My husband's words were very similar to yours

He has a big problem with the Mega churches and the tax exempt thing. Can't say I don't blame him!

[Swamp Rat]

10. WTF???

:wtf: She thinks she is entitled to get a "church discount?" What a DUMB person. :eyes:

I wish I could give that cashier a big hug. :hug:

11. It must be our location

This city has A LOT of churches and is the home of a small denomination. Sometimes these people think they own the town.

12. Was it a MegaChurch Zombie?

I assume so. They are some of the dumbest people in America.

[AwakeAtLast]

13. I would assume so, too.

Nice graphic!

15. For my side business

I'm constantly asked by churches if I offer a church discount at which point I tell them, "My special church rate is $X per hour." It makes them feel good that they're getting a special rate, however, it's not a discount. It's $5 an hour more than my regular rate. :)

Got your attention, though, eh?

:hi:

[Blue Belle]

16. Nice!!

I guess sending all that money to Oral Roberts U hasn't paid off like she thought.

[Nay]

17. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I love it! nt
