Son of a gun: Save-on-Foods can't do math

It appears Save-On's POS system has an option for "SOM SAVINGS-RET" built-in for people who wants to do a price adjustment for forgetting their Save-On More card. However, the system doesn't adjust for taxes! I thought the amount I got back was odd but it didn't hit me right away what was wrong. I hope the federal government spends the 5 cents I donated wisely.

But this does bring up the point that once the HST kicks in, people will need to be more careful--12% is a lot higher than the 5% that I lost today.

On another thought, I got a free cash advance because I paid by credit but the cashier gave me cash. Come to think of it, I think it's possible that the cashier just looked at the "You could have saved $1.00" line on the receipt and just keyed that into the system as my refund. If so then Save-On's has bad training and not a dumb POS system.

To wrap it all up though, I found a 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo on the ground on the way home. No racy pictures on the stick though (DAMN!!!). So overall it was a good day even though I lost 5 cents.

EDIT:
OMG I just realized because of my MBNA smart cash, my net loss from this transaction is actually 0.

I think I'll start an Exam 6 study log. It will encourage me to write more on my blog and I have never logged myself while studying. This should be an interesting experience; I wonder how I will feel about all the hours I devoted to this exam in the end. So far this Exam 6 looks VERY intimidating. Just by glancing over the articles on the syllabus there are definitely more than one thousand pages of material.
