That reminds me, my mom found $200 at a Royal Bank ATM about 15 years ago. She was freaking out about it and ready to walk it into the bank. I managed to talk her out of it. I think we all wound up having steak and lobster that night. Anyone who can forget $200 that they just withdrew at an ATM obviously didn't need it that bad.
I had an ATM that dispensed the cash at least 20 seconds after I got the 'Transaction complete, please take your cash' message on the screen. I had already started to walk into the bank to complain when I heard it finally give up my money. So, you might have talked your mother into stealing somebody's last 200 dollars.
I find lotto tickets stuck in the lotto machine at the grocery stores down here in Texas. The bin below holds on the ticket, where you have to reach under to grab any tix it dispenses, or wait for a second ticket to push the first fully out.. Always excited to find... Still haven't won anything, but I check em all the time lol
Nice! Back in the cash days, before everyone paid by card, a friend worked at movie theater. He said next time I se a movie, bring a flashlight. I asked why; his response was that his best pay came when cleaning theaters...everyone paid for the popcorn, drinks, and candy...then barely stuck the bills/change in there pockets while trying to juggle the items and then go sit down in a dark room. The angle of the older style chairs almost guaranteed a nice payout! I have carried a small flashlight since those teen years...the theaters have mostly dried up these days..
I've scored 2 iPhones from the little holder by the shopping cart handle over the last 4 or 5 years. I’ve also found various shit in the bottom of the cart. Fucking, mostly young women, people are so wound up by their busy life styles, zipping in around and out of the supermarket. I wouldn't be surprised if I found a kid in a cart someday.
A friend of mine and I were at a logger's equipment show (trucks and million-dollar machines to work the forests)' He looked inside a new truck on display and found a bank envelope with $4000 in it. He and I did everything possible to find the owner (honestly!) and could not find anyone that had lost anything. He paid for dinner and drinks that evening.
Fun fact: Negra Modelo is the last survivor of a style once popular in Vienna. Cerveceria Modelo hired Austrian brewmasters to set up its operation, and while the beer became popular in Mexico it died out in Austria.
My opinion is similar to wirecutter's (see above). Modelo is OK, especially on a hot day. But I do prefer Modelo Negra. It's what I usually get at Mexican restaurants. Found beer being free would definitely enhance the flavor!
For perspective, my preference in beer is toward IPAs and especially high ABV double IPAs. Sadly, around here a 6 pack of premium beer is $15; that's up from $9.00 thanks to Bidenomics.
Tried it once, not a fan but I'm not much of a beer drinker .... Now give me a dark stout or 2 on draft with a greasy cheeseburger and I'm there otherwise I'll pass ..... JD
Free beer is good beer. I once found 5 packs of assorted bacon in a bag in a cart in a parking lot at Kroger, I looked around, it was still cool, so it went home with me.
a few years ago, the retard delivering to the PT's pub next to my retirement job at Lowe's; fucked up and dropped an entire pallet of St. Pauli Girl off the truck/forklift - all still shrink wrapped. His solution was to put it in the dumpster. When we heard, there was 6 or 7 of us, out in back loading our trucks. Quickly. 16 free cases of SPG for free? You bet. Those who missed out used the "eww, out of the dumpster" b.s. Even if it hadn't been shrink wrapped - I have a sink and some soap. Shit. Original Grandpa
Better than a movie theater, the rock-n-roll bar I worked in. Dark lights until closing, they were mostly too toasted by then. Money Hunt$$$..Waitresses checked all the under tables in their sections and scored. I would go around to the front of the bar at the stations..Folding $$% they were so happy to get the $1.00 pitchers just stuffing the folding in their pockets and missed many times.
I once found $40 bucks sticking out of an atm machine. No one around to say “ hey is this yours?” So score!

It's taken the place of checking the coin return on public phones.

I found a new brass spray nozzle for a garden hose in a shopping basket out in the parking lot and used it yesterday
ReplyDeleteCurious, is that a good beer? So many brands out there these days. Also, whats a 12 pack cost? I think I paid six bucks in me day.
ReplyDeleteI like it. It beats the shit out of any watered down American commercial beer. I prefer the Modelo Negra (dark), though.
DeleteFun fact: Negra Modelo is the last survivor of a style once popular in Vienna. Cerveceria Modelo hired Austrian brewmasters to set up its operation, and while the beer became popular in Mexico it died out in Austria.
DeleteI'm in agreement with wirecutter on the Modelo beers. BTW, a 12 pack of Modelo is $16 per the local market's website.
DeleteMe, too! Pricy in Canukistan, though.
DeleteI'd definitely leave it, that's garbage beer.

Yeah Mexican Budweiser at import prices.
