“I start counting out hundred dollar bills and the clerk goes nuts! “Sir, we don’t accept cash for this kind of purchase! You must use a credit card!” she says at the top of her lungs. (I see her also hit a button on the phone at the same time.)”

“The Best Buy cashier then came back and shouted that I’m purchasing a video game for a minor in front of everyone in line behind me and her fellow cashiers. She even had the nerve to ask, “Is that even your brother with you?!”

Wow you guys are photo machines. I just checked The Consumerist Flickr pool and there’s over 12,000 photos from over 1,100 members. That is pretty awesome. There’s a cool synergy that happens when a post is based on a reader tip or story, a whole bunch of readers comment on it, and then a reader-submitted picture is used as illustration. Not to get all meta or anything but it’s all about your voice getting out there and driving the shape of the news that gets reported. And darnit, that’s pretty neat. Here’s this weeks top picks from the Consumerist Flickr Pool.
