   It's amazing how sometimes I go back to the stores and bodegas I've   
   reported for non-compliance of New York Bottle Bill Law and now they   
   *jump* at the chance to serve me. This needs to be more widespread for   
   better service in New York restaurants.   
      
   Yesterday just for laughs I wanted to see if one of the stores who   
   caught an 8,000% fine for busting my horns by refusing to accept a   
   reusable container from me would now comply. Sure enough when they saw   
   me coming they *hop* to the counter to redeem my empty two cans of   
   Schlitz and one empty cans of Rheingold beer cans. They never was   
   doing this before.   
      
   This is what you cawl a "test run." So this time I give him credit;   
   the store owner passed his test with flying colors. I guess he figured   
   out that it's better not to fuck with the customers and give us our   
   five cents due, or else face some more very stiff consequences. For   
   instance his next fine would've been the 16,000% percentile, and the   
   fine after that would be the dreaded 20,000% percentile penalty fine.   
      
   You see you have to teach these guys the proper procedure how to sell   
   beer and soda in New York. If they don't like it, they can either   
   continue to accrue the 20,000% percentile fine right out of their cash   
   register for each and every violation from here on out, or they can go   
   back to their native land which is *certainly* not America and   
   continue to train how to sell liquid refreshments there.   
      
   So now (in most cases) not only do I get the lousy five or ten cents   
   owed me for my empty can of Rheingold beer, but I get service like   
   never before. Now they say, "oh yes, grand and glorious master of   
   usenet, the one who brought us 'the only three hours of radio that   
   matters' off the 1974 California Jam broadcast, oh world's greatest   
   filmmaker and the only one who matters in music and film via Nuclear   
   Warrior and the California Jam Wereo, how many cans would you like to   
   redeem today?" This is what you cawl From Cans to Grands. This is what   
   you cawl compliance.   
      
   Anyway I'm just practicing up, honing my skills for when the time   
   comes to seize the CasKe'T out there in Cincinnati; to seize the 'FiN.   
   I am the only one who matters.
