RANDOM RANTS #5 - Why do cashiers diligently look over a coupon like THEY personally stand to lose...

So many rants, not enough time...

If you ARE the cashier, please explain to us who are less educated on the matter.

*We've checked into it briefly with a Walmart cashier a while back who explained they don't have to cover bad coupons but they do go as strikes against them over time.

VIDEO: Coghlan scores by jumping over Yadi

What a dive! What a play for the run-scoring. Probably won't see this again anytime soon. Now just set it on slow-mo and play it over again...

Chris Coghlan races home on Kevin Pillar's triple, and scores by leaping over a crouching Yadier Molina to give the Blue Jays a 3-2 lead

"I was coming around third and I looked to my left to see where the ball was and I saw it was going to beat me and probably the last step or two I saw Yadi go down," Coghlan said. "You're first thought is, 'OK, I'm going to run him over cause he's right over the plate.' And then I was thinking, 'since he's down, why don't you jump?'"
Blue Jays starter Marco Estrada couldn't believe it.

All jokes aside, this is actual quite serious for Canada. A 20% levy on one of Canada's main export products will harm our economy, and I fear this is just the beginning...

VIDEO: Premier Wynne and Basic Income Announcement at LIUNA Station in Hamilton

Premier Kathleen Wynne's announcement on Ontario's basic income pilot project. Three cities that will be taking part in the project include Hamilton, Lindsay and Thunder Bay.

"The project will explore the effectiveness of providing a basic income to people who are currently living on low incomes, whether they are working or not. People participating in our pilot communities will receive a minimum amount of income each year— a basic income, no matter what." (24:21 mark in the video)

She then goes on to say:

"It's not an extravagant sum by any means. For a single person we're talking about just under $17,000 a year. But even that amount may make a real difference to someone who's striving to reach a better life."
