Sounds sweet, man. I've got a similar story about cashiers screwing up
stuff, much to my benefit. Some friends and I were building a potato
cannon, and we went to a Revy to buy all the parts. We had approximately
$40 worth of ABS tubing, with the screw-on drain plug and reducer piece to
fit the smaller radius barrel to the chamber. Well, we had dry-fitted the
drain plug and reducer onto the piece of tubing that would be the chamber,
and I guess the cashier thought it was all one piece! We ended up getting
charged for the barrel, drain plug lid, and BBQ starter. Made off like
bandits we did! :-)
