I stole this from Tim Hortons. Here’s how it went:
It was 10 at night and Nick and I were at the Tim’s getting hot chocolate and muffins and chatting up a monsoon while nerds at the table next to us played some dungeons and dragons board game thing.
me: I want one of those Canucks gift cards… I don’t want money on it, I just want the card.
Nick: uhhh… okay?
in one fell swoop, I stuffed the card in my wallet and ollied outtie. THEY’RE FREE CARDS, I CAN JUST TAKE ONE IF I WANT.
