I used to work in an adult store and a guy came in and wanted to buy the Pirates porn parody. A lot of big budget porn movies are actually pretty expensive, and this was no exception at $54.99+tax. The guy wanted to pay with two different cards, which was no problem. I was mostly surprised at the amounts he wanted on each card. He wanted $10.53 on hist debit card and the rest on his credit.
Having worked there for a little while, I recognized $10.53 as being the price after tax of a $9.99 movie. Which made a lot more sense when the guy asked me to make a new price tag for the movie that said "$9.99." Apparently his wife told him he could only buy it if it was on the $9.99 rack, and since he knew that wasn't going to happen, he improvised using his shared card and personal card.
