Can you hack it?Hell, no, that is no mean pitch or racket!Our policy is your displeasure: Non Caveat Emptor.Sure, bring along the wife, we wouldn't dare exempt her.No haggling necessary at any time.It's not like buying here’s a crime.Our shelves are always stocked and full,they even replenish themselves, and that's no bull.So, come on down and shop till you drop.We're open 24/7, we're the one-stop shop —(Was that a little bit over-the-top?)Look't, you spend it, then we'll vend it,we'll even leave the place unattended —we trust you that much, we know you'll pay your due,the petty always do, and always right on cue.
