What if it had been $3.02 - you would have been asked to pay at another till and a huge bouncer called Google would have kicked you out of the shop

"$4.04 for a small latte?! I am in the wrong business ;) " You're not kidding. 5 cents for the coffee and 5 cents for a cup. Nice markup.

Or $3.01, a.k.a. "Okay, wise guy, redirect yourself permanently to Starbucks." Seriously, maybe it's a good sign that the Caribou person didn't know what you were talking about. A few years ago, that cashier might have been an unemployed Web content developer. :-)

Haha, unfortunately the city I work in (St. Paul, MN USA) only has ONE Starbucks downtown. There are Caribou's everywhere.

Drshields if you have got to the stage of cracking 404 jokes to cashiers in coffee shops you should perhaps consider taking a wee break ;)

Or you could've received it for $5.00, where the Caribou cashier subsequently makes an internal error and gives you back the incorrect amount. :)

She could charge you $2.06 because they just ran out and the cup only has partial content.

The higher priced blend at $5.03. And if your Caribou Coffee House wasn't social software a ten cent NoDoz tablet would do as well and wouldn't burn your tongue.

It's obvious they have a huge markup just so they can pay the cashiers enough to tolerate nerd jokes all morning.

If the cashier had said: "you've been in here several times without buying anything, so we're going to offer you a discount" then I could have seen a SmartPrice connection. If, whilst you were paying, the cashier had said "You're Payment's In Progress, Sir", or even if she was called "Pip" (short for Philippa) I could have seen the Adsense pun. If you had said something rude, and she had banned you from the store because such language was against their "Terms Of Service", then I might have wondered if the cashier worked for the Google Adsense team. If, indeed, you had paid with a hundred dollar bill, and the cashier had said "you get no change now, but you'll get change when your change accumulates to more than a hundred dollars", then that might even have been slightly funny. But 404s? You aren't even allowed 404s in adsense!

I mostly posted the comment because it was funny, and all the other web guys and gals out there would get the joke (lame as it may be!). Relation to adsense was that the guy behind me knew what it was, and we had a nice conversation.

Ah, that's why I didn't see the connection: I don't have a sense of humour. For example, in your position, if the guy behind me in the queue had said "I'll click yours if you click mine" I'd have reported him to Google!

Technically error 404 is a LOT older than Adsense, but I hope I'm always feeling like gratuitously saying "thanks AdSense."

My previous apartment number was 404! Thank got I moved otherwise the Adsense team might have said "home not found" while delivering the check. Flip

Did you put up a notice 301 moved permanently so you still get the rest of your mail?

To join in with this nerdy humor, suppose it had been $5.50? "Do you mean to tell me I don't have permission to buy coffee here?" Or perhaps $4.08: "What, did I take too long to order?" This thread is really sick... ;)
