The service fee is more with more items as well - so you get dinged twice for each item. The new one is this Fuel Surcharge. I have my doubts that it does to the driver. I'm rather sure the company is keeping it. Not to mention all the bloody taxes I pay on everything. The ice cream had GST on it, but the chips did not, I find that strange.

The start is just a back story and a lead into the ending emotionally speaking. We jump soon after to a girl in high school who refuses to use the technology, they want her to use to learn with as ...
