Oh? I hadn't noticed.

They took 10% off the total, too. Thought that was very nice of them.

One of the things that is remarkable about mediocre is the extent to which it has retained its meaning over the course of more than four centuries of continual use. The word, when used as an adjective, has changed very little, if at all, in its meaning since it was used in a 1586 book titled The English Secretorie (our earliest known evidence): “Mediocre, a meane betwixt high and low, vehement and slender, too much and too little as we saye. . . .” The word comes to English via Middle French from the Latin word mediocris, meaning "of medium size, moderate, middling, commonplace," and perhaps originally "halfway to the top." The noun form of mediocre is mediocrity.

Just a random 10% discount? That's always nice.

Oh tabarnak. Pls don't.

17-15-3 on the road is better than mediocre. Would say it's even a bit above average on the road.

Not random, exactly. I logged off to go see a client, and then when I came back, I had an email from them, asking why I left stuff in my cart. In order to lure me back, they offered 10% off the total. I'm a whore, so I accepted.

And you're in your 30's (?) and lost control of your bladder. If you can't hold it to the bathroom and have to use the nearest available vessel, being Capt.'s cereal bowl, then....
