ITT I am posting from Vancouver

[avi]

yeah, but I won't take advantage of it. I'd rather just type type type on my laptop. and console my poor wife who's trapped back at home with her mother.

 

[avi]

a few things:
WTF is up with $7 for a pint of beer?
How do you deal with such a fucking crazy pocketful of change?
Do people tip in Canadia?

 

[deadair]

i love this thread. i really do.

 

[mindspell]

Well Vancouver is NOT the cheapest place but 7$ for a pint is somewhat the norm in Irish pubs and the sort around here. I never pay that kind of money though, find a microbrewerie and you should have a pint for around 5$. Yes we tip, 15%. I never have more than three bucks worth of change in my pockets, I transfer elsewhere if needed. I'd rather have that kind of change than a wallet full of 1s...

 

[xfer]

three bucks in change??

 

[avi]

$1 and $2 coins are total bullshit. fuck canada!

 

[xfer]

i always supported the adoption of coin money in order to move us toward a system of having money bags and pouches again, but i think it's totally unworkable when we primarily rely on "pockets".

 

[minxnim]

alex that's such a LARPER thing to say i mean omg

 

[avi]

you just want to be able to carry a purse. I say NO!

 

[minxnim]

MANPURSE

 

[avi]

I will not bow to the pro-manpurse lobby!

 

[0sm0se]

A coin purse makes sense, a small bag of coins that hangs from or is tied to the belt- it makes perfect sense. Well, if you want a symbolic sack to go with your cod piece.

 

[minxnim]

it's so fucking robin hood tho i mean come on it screams ROLE PLAYING WICCAN SORT OF THING

 

[xfer]

all true and i care not!

 

[azal]

manpurses are not cool.

 

[mindspell]

You know that it is all for the good of the envirronement because coins last centuries and bills barely a decade...

 

[chupe666]

[azal]

Have pockets full of stuff is the worst feeling in the world.

 

[minxnim]

tie it right next to the onion hanging from your belt

EXACTLY.

also, azal is right. i hate that feeling of having change and stuff in my pockets.
