What you see in this photograph is the pack of eight batteries with six of them removed (which are currently being used to power the equipment). Next to the pack, you see the six old dead batteries.
Then you see a receipt.
I conveniently placed a foot-long ruler there for scale.
Thank you, Ace Hardware, for giving me a 16″ receipt for my purchase of one item.
Unnecessarily long receipts
A few days ago, I was getting some work done at our family business when the batteries in a piece of equipment died.
Of course, logically following my level of luck, this happened while I was using the equipment.
I needed this piece of equipment to finish what I was doing, so I decided to go to the local hardware store to buy some batteries.
Great news! I managed to buy an eight-pack of Duracell D-size batteries for about $11. This was a huge summer savings deal – so huge that this pack of eight brand-name batteries was cheaper than a pack of four generic batteries.
Now note that I said this was a pack of eight batteries. As in, ONE pack. Not eight individual batteries.
I brought this ONE item to the check-out.
