If you can stand listening long enough - the guy gets transfered to a "floor supervisor" who claims that the difference between 0.002 dollars and 0.002 cents is a "difference of opinion".

Obviously the kind of folks who's plane never takes off on a treadmill...

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
