hey RIers

new law in RI (from thread on slickdeals.net)

rebates are instant now (have to be filled out by store)

Great Deal For RI slick dealers... Rebates are now instant

Thread Rating:

Just thought I would give you all a head's up. This is pretty slick if you live in RI... I just found out that RI has passed a law (Starting July 3rd) that requires all companies in RI redeem their Manufacturer's MIR at the time of sale and submit the rebates themselves, rather than requiring the consumer to do so. This article eludes to the fact that CT is already doing this, but it is true in RI now! This is basically targeting those retailers that advertise the good ole "free after rebate" and then make you wait for the rebate...

All of the free after MIR offers at our local Shaw's are being redeemed immediately. I was able to get 4 cases of soda for .70.

Thought I would pass the info along for anyone that can use it... Let the flaming begin!

San Francisco - Younger workers are more likely to make off with office supplies for personal use than older workers, and they're less prone to feel guilty about it, according to a new survey.

Nearly one in five, or 18%, of workers report having taken office supplies for personal use in the past year, according to a survey of 1 630 employed adults in the US from staffing agency Spherion Corp and Harris Interactive.

Study -Classical Music Makes Diners Spend

LONDON, Oct 7,2003 - A new British study claims that restaurant owners can increase their profits by simply playing classical music.

The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Leicester in Central England, concluded that the music of Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach makes diners feel more affluent, causing them to spend.

When listening to the strains of classical music, diners spent an average of 10% more per meal than when listening to the pop music of Britney Spears and Michael Jackson. Worst than pop music, however, was no music at all, which caused a dramatic drop in spending.

Psychologist Adrian North, who led the research, said classical music, with its connotations of sophistication, affluence, and wealth, makes you feel "a bit posh", and in a restaurant setting "has the effect of making you spend a bit more money."

In the study, diners opted for more starters and even stayed longer, ordering more desserts and coffees, when the subtle melodies of the classics played in the background.

The tests took place at Softleys restaurant in Market Bosworth over a period of three weeks.

13 Ways to Annoy Public Bathroom Stallmate

Stick your open palm under the stall wall and ask your neighbour, "May I borrow a highlighter?"
Say, "Uh oh, I knew I shouldn't have put my lips on that."
Cheer and clap loudly every time somebody breaks the silence with a bodily function noise.
Say, "Damn, this water's cold."
Drop a marble and say, "Oh shit! My glass eye!"
Say, "Hmmm, I've never seen that colour before."
Grunt and strain real loud for 30 seconds and then drop a cantaloupe into the toilet bowl from a height of 6 feet. Sigh relaxingly.
Say, "Now how did that get there?"
Say, "Humus. Reminds me of humus."
Fill up a large flask with Mountain Dew. Squirt it erratically under the stall walls of your neighbours while yelling, "Whoa! Easy boy!"
Say, "Interesting... more floaters than sinkers."
Using a small squeeze tube, spread peanut butter on a wad of toilet paper and drop the wad under the stall wall of your neighbour. Then say, "Whoops, could you kick that back over here please?"
Say, "C'mon Mr. Happy! Don't fall asleep on me."
