My Halloween Costume - Yes, I Tried To Scan The Tampons Coupon At 4 AM, And It WORKED!

This title may confuse you, but let me explain.

This is me at a CVS at 4 AM after a full night of drinking at a Halloween party.

I knew the cashiers were just as thrilled as I was when I ran in wet from the rain to ask if the tampons coupon would scan.

After security was not called, and another friendlier employee came to help, we approached the moment of truth.

Did the tampons coupon scan?

OH hell yes, IT DID.

Even the massive beotch behind the counter who initially gave a death stare cracked a smile because she knew how big of a deal this was. Other employees gathered around and applauded. Pictures were taken that I know I'll regret later in life.

For those who don't know CVS, it's a pharmacy chain where you go to buy one thing, but get an obscenely long receipt in return, which you annoyingly keep just in case, but the coupons expire before you may use them, really annoying, just like this long run-on sentence. It's a vicious cycle.

To raise awareness of the waste of paper, I needed to waste paper and get choked all night by idiots stepping on the bottom of my costume. Regardless, it was a magnet for conversation and got far more laughs than I expected.

Exact replica of just PART of my friend's receipt before I adjusted some of the 11x17 pages to get the tampons front and center. I had to trim some of the receipt from the initial scan because it was too obnoxiously long. (no joke).

Yes, the coupons expire on Halloween. Perfecto.

cool one dude!
how did you get to print those big ass ones?

Scanned in the receipt and then hard it printed with logical page breaks on 11"x"17" paper. I then assembled the paper how I wanted with clear tape. It took 30 minutes. Really easy.

I mean those are still good quality despite the large printing!

Hahah good one! And I'm sure you made their night at the pharmacy ;)

I made the night of 2 of the 3 employees. One of them wanted to crinkle me up in a ball and throw me in the garbage. She wasn't having it no matter what, but she did smirk at the end, likely just to get me to shut up about her lightening up.

Haha she loved it really, just too grumpy to know it ;)

She was probably going to be the same thing to wear to work for Halloween but was upset that I took her idea first.

Pretty hilarious. Gotta love (and miss) those CVS coupons!!

That is hilarious!! Wish I could have seen the faces on the employees lol

Lots of hot girls were coming up to talk to me at the party, but I saw right through them. They wanted the savings. I felt like such an object.
