All you damn fat cats with your receipt paper that can be used JUST for insulation. I bet you've never even had to wipe your ass with receipt paper and make adobe houses with the paper-shit mix.
Don't forget, you aren't allowed to take the sperm back to replenish your protein. It has to reach the egg. And you aren't allowed to boil the egg. I tried :(
Man old Simpsons was way better. I had never really watched the show much and thought it wasn't that good until I saw older episodes and realized why people liked it.
It's moralistic, I hate that. If you want to teach viewers a lesson the very least you can do is being subtle. In the past they put some character doing something wrong and someone telling them they're wrong and then he learns his lesson. Today the character just does it, bad stuff happens and nobody says a word, it's implicit, it's better.

whoa I can eat grapes on days they let me into the supermarket? That's amazing too bad my hygiene is so bad they usually ask me to leave as soon as I arrive. Plus I'm usually eating the grapes then leaving they threaten to call police then I die in the store and when I wake up they're so relieved I'm not dead inside their store they just ask me to never come back again. once they even gave me a bottle of soap I guess the smell was pretty bad. I traded the soap for lentils. How crafty!!

How many calories does this yield? I'm curious to know if you can keep repeating for greater and greater profit, or do you end up with a negative caloric return?
At a 2k calorie / day diet, you'd have to do this ~333 times to get a day's worth of calories. Assuming an 8-hour day, you'd have to do this once every ~90 seconds to break even. I'm not sure that's possible, given lineups and such.
The receipt is from Australia. Australia eliminated the 1ยข coin in 1992; 5ยข is the smallest coin that remains. So if you're paying with cash, any purchase gets rounded to the nearest 5ยข.
It's the same way with US military bases overseas (at least it used to be), like in Germany. AAFES doesn't ship pennies over seas because their weight would cost more to ship than they are worth. If you shopped on base and paid in cash, everything was rounded to the nickel.
