yes. also, you only get the "reward" on the first item- if you bought
more than one you only get the difference back on the rest. The law does

barcodes as well.

If so, awesome! It should be federal....

"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly
what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear
and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There
is another theory which states that this has already happened."
