Scoopers are a godsend for dishonest sellers

As soon as I appear in the nearest supermarket, the saleswoman starts frantically looking under the counter for a sign that says "Technical Break". Feels that I will not get off of her alive. That is, I will once again leave her half-dead. And it's not that I'm torturing her, it's just that everything that I acquire by weight, I force her to outweigh at least two times, and then I run to the control weights and again try to check how many grams I have been cheated this time. When finished with the scales, I am not lazy and carefully check all packages with an expiration date. These manipulations are carried out from the fact that once I bought the notorious miracle yogurt, so bacteria in a kilogram of weight from it, you can believe, looked at me with their shameless anti-sills in such a huge amount that now the girl from the advertisement causes me the only feeling - nausea. Let them call me an idiot and a bore, let them threaten to tear me to shreds, but I know for sure that I will not pay a penny for a product that is not worth my precious health. How did it all start?

First with interest. I just had to kill time and I, flirting with the saleswomen (an amateur lesson) asked them to count the change, check the scales, outweigh the food … For me, it's money. God knows not what they are, but good people, all the same are mine. And given that I am infected with a thirst to spend money to a large extent, this is a savings. In the same way, I found the answer to my mother's philosophical and rhetorical question: "How much money did you spend and what did you buy?" Mom did not understand me for a long time and when trying to explain to her what was what, she tried to measure my temperature. I had to demonstrate clearly what and how. I took a package that allegedly contained a kilogram of tangerines I had just bought (at a price of 30 rubles per kg): grandmother's culinary scales showed exactly 850 grams.

"Congratulations, mom, you gave some uncle exactly 4 rubles 50 kopecks. Keep up the good work."

So now let some saleswoman try to weigh me. I’ll set my grandmother against her. And then, after all, I have many, many neighbors …

I told all this that no matter how much we like to spend money, we must always be on the alert. Because it is the spenders who are a godsend for those who are not averse to making money at someone else's expense. And if you think that five or ten rubles is not money, so that it is worth defending your rights for them (by the way, quite legal), you apparently do not value your work, because in this situation you lose from two to three hundred per month. Now think, what could you buy with them? And remember how you were crushed for them at work?

And if anyone needs alms, then, believe me, not supermarket sellers and Transcaucasian entrepreneurs. Better to give this money to the grandmother in the passage or donate to some shelter for homeless animals. They need them more. In addition, you will always know what Russian rubles (US dollars, Zimbabwean tugriks, and so on) earned by blood and sweat and nerves have been spent on.

Always yours Alexander Maksimovsky
