First of all, I'm not a dude. Secondly, I told you not to call me a racist or a POS, I'm neither. I never called the Indian race anything derogatory

or degrading. I simply said try and resolve a money issue with them and it's nearly impossible. That's the truth.

You, my man, are way too sensitive. You must've had a bad week or something to go batsh*t over a post that was good natured until you came

around and blew it out of proportion.

Though I realize I came about this way too strong.

I just got pissed, so I'm sorry for that. But my point still remains that you don't even realize what you're saying is very ignorant.

No, see that's not a good humored remark. You were casually making fun of a race of people.

I'm ok with my friends teasing me just to make fun of ME because that's what friends do sometimes. I know that aren't ragging on my race. It's way different than me walking into a casual conversation about how greedy the Patels are.

Yeah, dude, you're a POS. Take your racism elsewhere, because clearly, you won't even admit that you were being an ass. And it's not ok.

And I'm not a Pate... [ More ]

LMFAO!!

You need to soak your head, better yet jump into a tub of ice water. Best yet would be to shut the racist

meter off and reread what made you jump in with your own POS post and pull the race card.

It's people like you that make race a dead issue, don't say you don't care about it. You care when

you can be anonymous. In front of your own friends you are willing to live with an acceptable amount

of it? What kind of backbone is that? Be hot or cold will you? Man I can't stand... [ More ]

This is true. But people also have the right to tell you off if your being ignorant.

Fair enough. I personally have never had a bad experience with Indians, just thought I would check in with you to get the particular's.

Thanks for sharing.

No. I don't care about race at all. I didn't call anyone a SOB white person. I called these guys SOBs, and stated that I hate some white people I met, but don't equate the rest of them as the same. You're derailing a whole last name, which is a major last name of Indians. What I hate is the ridiculous amount of racism surrounding common thought. As a conservative, I hate the fact that people use racism as fodder against my parties and idealogies similar to mine. Most of my friends are white, mai... [ More ]

Half the members of these forums, it seems, are ignorant POS's.

If you don't think the Patels run a store right, open your own snip ed store, this is America, and you can do that.

I swear this is getting ridiculous. I'm sure a white person would never, ever, ever, ever, ever, steal from anybody. Or be greedy. Or do something you dissaprove of. Or manage a business the wrong way.

I swear I think 90 percent of all stores in South Carolina are run by patels. They also win a lot here in

South Carolina. They are also some of the top retailers here to. I will say this though, they usually treat me right,

but I dont buy single scratch offs, they will vulcher you in a heartbeat. They always have money though. So if you

hit the pick 3 multiple times on separate tickets you dont have to go to 5 stores to get your money.

Thx so much, guys. Yeah, we'll send the ticket to the lottery office with a note and hopefully they will give me my $4 (big bucks, I know) :) It's the principle of the thing. It's a new manager and the store is Winn-Dixie so I'm not happy with them at all and we always shop there! Not sure if we will now. I have to ask, what's a patel

lol!! Don't let them fool you...you might think you're dealing with a Mehta, a Pawar or a Tambe...but they're just mainly all Patels. The reason

I say they don't like trouble is try and resolve a problem with money with one of them. It very nearly can't be done. They talk around the issue

until they've got you believing YOU owe THEM.

I had my tickets tallied up one day and handed them over...well the machine must not have been cleared from the last sale or something but

I got shorted... [ More ]

Can't you take it somewhere else? Send away?? for $4???

There is a code that can be entered manually when the scan box does not work - it's on the back of the ticket. I've seen it done a hundred times.

Was the clerk/manager...uh, well....there is no way to say it except to come right out with it: Were they Patels?

They don't like trouble.

I can't believe the store manager didn't just pay you the $4 and dealt with the lottery guy when he came in just for the sake of good customer service.

I would call the lottery office and see what they say and never buy another ticket or anything else from that store.

Thx much. I didn't want to have to send it to the lottery (it could get stolen), but that's what we'll have to do.

There is a winning code/number on any winning scratcher/ ticket. With some states like Massachusetts's you are not allowed to scratch off that code.

However with the majority of states, you can instantly verify your winnings via the clerk or portable lotto scan checker. Because the ticket was smudged, torn, or mutilated depending on severity, should not prevent you from receiving prize. (Further investigation from lotto officials can usually determine ultimate winner.

The other day I won $4 in a scratch off. My hubby scractched the code on the bottom, but noticed it wasn't scratching off well and then the clerk tried. She then said the computer wasn't taking it and asked the manager. He said we would have to send it to the lottery office to get the money. This doesn't seem fair and I told him that since the ticket can get lost in the mail. This is the first time this happened. How would you handle it? We don't win very much, so $4 is a big deal to us.
