    Arrow I had a bad day

    I became PISSED today
    A yard by me called Greenblott stole from me and it was the owner no less
    I took a small order in



    Copper 20 pounds in a 6,8 oz bucket

    62 lb copper bearing in a 5 lb bucket

    20 lbs Aluminum

    52 lb short that was nuts bolts, a 90 year old sowing machine and 1/8 thick steel Since it was a small amt I took it to the hand weigh area. The owner says it’s not short I say well 52 lb in a 5gal bucket half full is not mix (I have taken apart sewing machines there short )

    And 192 mix

    Now the real problem - Now I get paid
    13 lbs copper that with math equals a 7 lb bucket I get taken for a pound @ $2.70
    50 CBM that with math equals a 12 lb bucket I get taken for 7 lbs for $1.40
    20 AL did not get paid for at all - get taken for 20 lbs for $10.00
    52 short did not get paid for at all - get taken for 52 lbs for $6.24
    Grand total stole from me $24
    Then I express how come my AL not on the bill, and the owner goes off and says LOOK your stuff is all curb pickings your AL was no good I put in the garbage (I’m thinking how come not in your mix pile ) I don't say it cause I am trying to resolve and I am completely surprised by this . I am surprised by the BULL
    Then he says don't come back here and don't wave the receipt in my face
    I also heard the casher call me a retard now I might have some learning disability I even might be a darn retard but I believe it's illegal to call some body a retard especially a customer
