GST

So, I"m at work tonight and this guy comes in. Well, let me set the scene for you here:

S = Shanna, a worker at Subway
CC = Crazy Customer

S = "Your total is $7.05"
Customer pulls out $7 and a handful of change.
S = "I'll take 5 pennies if you want to get rid of them...although maybe you want to keep them so you have one when you need it."
CC = "No, I'll keep them, because I'll invariably need them. In fact, that's the purpose of the GST, to justify the fact that pennies are still manufactured."

OK, last time I checked, the purpose of the GST was to make money.

Man, the shit you hear at Subway from the crazies.

GST is a tax to make money off of, Just like the Galactic Senate in Star Wars taxed the trade federations, although, that was also for punishment purposes.

But they say that if they changed the GST/PST to 5% the penny could be phased out.


Like that time Obi - Wan cut Dart6h maul in half.
