Sounds like 'whiteys' to me too come to think of it... so I vote for 'Bulgers.

I so want to post "Don't you need a prescription to get a bulger at CVS?" but I wont lol

Or... we could circle back to the baseball player, Johnathan VILLAR and just call em "Infielders" or infidels.

after all the stores think we are fraudsters or terrorists anyway so why not!

Yah I had to load my BB today so I went to CVS and got some jihadists lol

Now I'm thinking "Castros." If you live in SF, that's not too far from "Bulgers."

Manager rang up 2 cards and then got cold feet when I tried to use a cc and decided it was cash only. I tried to tell him I had used my cc just the day before at the same store, but he insisted it was ALWAYS cash only I didn't want to argue and as I was walking out, he decides to rip off the card and trash it. I remarked how the cards could still be used as they were not activated and he gave me a ... look. Went back to the store after a few hours to pick up a Rx and saw all the cards were off the rack and the cashier up front said they were all sold out. Right!

No, because those have the associate's name on them and this guy is enough of an idiot to try to fire the poor person.

Do you folks usually keep the old VRs or throw them? Those old cards and receipts are starting to pile up....don't see a reason to hold on to them after a month or so..?

Marathon Man Aug 5, 2013 8:28 pm

like forever? or a certain period of time?

Marathon Man Aug 5, 2013 8:33 pm

Well some here know i did major home renovation and built a basement living room too. Yeah if i was doing that now id offer to buy everyones higcs for like some fair % off.

Anyway inside the walls behind studs and insulation are hundreds of used gcs. Seriously. Ive also burried newspaper articles, red sox things from 2004 world series etc. some day like 50 yeara from now someones gonna find it and be like whoa!

I also have bins with old miles things and vrs from last winter to present.

I think its a good idea to keep them for a month but im just, well, the marathon man!

Put them in a box and tape them up when its full. Treat them as receipts for tax purposes. 99.999% chance you will never need to reopen the box.

Nice, time to scope your basement. lol

If I had a house and I stayed put at one place, I guess I would too. But, I'm usually on the move and storing them is more of a hassle than anything. Plus I'm usually bad with filing/storing things away..I give it a month or two after the VR clears.
