In all seriousness I am though. I seem to get along with everyone, even people other people hate. Maybe it stems from my internal emotional problems. I'm depressed an anxious often so maybe I've developed a very easy going nice exterior as a form of compensation?

You so go batshit crazy on this forums often to vent your frustration. I think it can be helpful in your real life.

I blame your job. The job looks easy on paper but dealing with people takes the patience of a saint and a psychology degree. Stupid employers either see their business get ruined due to jaded employees with no morale or they fire and hire fresh meat to take your place.

No I've always been hyper easy to get along with my whole life.

And you'd be fucking wrong. How do you work in retail and not know what a UPC is? Universal Product Code. U doesn't stand for unique, btw.

They won't take a copy b/c then you could... make a copy without buying the product, and send in the rebate as many times as you wanted to.

He was talking about the serial number printed on the same label for this particular product. Duh. Every one of the boxes for this particular product has a serial number there. Got it?

This is precisely why i hate retail.. I worked retail in highschool, and decided to go back this summer while on break from college. Dealing with the complete assholes that think every store should do anything they ask gets incredibly tiring.

you could; you lied to him; all he needed to do was jack a bar-code from another box.

Technically possible. But you still need a receipt and you need to fill out the MIR form with your address. They usually only accept one or two MIRs from any given address. Also it's rather hard to conceal cutting out the UPC in a store. Looks a little fishy. 😉

Mailin rebates have always pissed me off. All that trouble for what, $5? They should just deduct it at checkout, or *ghasp* just have it on sale by $5. Guess they know lot of people won't bother, or just screw up and not be illegible.

I've hated rebates since they became popular over 30 years ago with car purchases...
I'd MUCH rather have the rebate amount deducted at the time of sale...but, the manufacturers know that most people won't bother...or won't do it right...and be ineligible...and since most rebates are "One offer per household," even if you buy several...you only get one rebate. (without pulling some kind of fast one...)
