CASHBACK

Panda is driving along Dorset st one Thursday night when he stops at a
Red Traffic light at the Junction of Gardiner st.
Thin Lizzy are belting out ,"The Boys are back in Town ", on  the Radio.
Panda is rocking along with the song when He gets a tap on the window.
Panda jumps with a start and looks to the window and standing there is this enormous
guy gesturing to get in.
Panda unlocks the door and the guy opens the door and says to Panda ,
"Pull back that seat".
Panda obliges and the guy gets in.
"Take me to Dublin 8", says the big guy.
Panda does a U-e (U-turn) and heads towards D8.
"Where in D8 are you going ?", says Panda to the guy.
"Just drive and I will show you", says the guy.
"Do you have a card machine ?", says the guy to Panda.
" Yes indeed I do", says Panda.
"Okay so,I will be looking for 40 Euro cashback ",says the guy.
Panda looks at the guy.
" I don't do cashback ,Buddy, you'll have to go to a shop for that ", says Panda.
 The guy gets all annoyed and says ," What do you mean,no cashback ,I got it before ".
"No can do", says Panda.
They had reached D8 at this stage.
"You should have turned back there", says the guy.
"You were supposed to tell me ", says Panda.
" I told you Dublin 8", says the guy.
" Yes, that's where we are ", says Panda.
" Just pull over here", says the guy in a rage.
"10 euro , please ", says Panda.
The guy gives Panda a card .
" I want my cashback ", says the guy.
"I can't  do that ,Buddy.", says Panda.
Panda puts the card in and it comes up invalid.
"That is very strange ", says the guy in a rage.
Panda hands him back the card.
The guy starts rooting through all his pockets looking for some cash.
Eventually after going through each pocket twice he magically
produces a 20 note.
"You are very lucky ", he shouts at Panda.
" Calm down , There's no need to be so aggressive ", says Panda.
"You are very rude ", says the guy.
" Me rude, how do you make that out ?", says Panda.
" You would not agree to cashback ", says the guy.
" What would you have done if i did not pay you,
Ring the guards,I do not give a fxxk ",says the guy.
Panda gives him his change and the guy gets out and tries to slam
the door but Panda anticipated it and caught the door in time.
The guy looks around when the expected bang does'nt happen.
Panda smiles at him and pulls away.
"Never a dull moment ", Panda smiles to himself.
