1) nobody is (or, should be) surprised that Ed’s overpayment was turned into a credit. 2) and, nobody is surprised (or, should be) that he managed to use it up already. I never shopped at either of the two “stores” that Batiuk combined to make up to where Ed shopped. BUT my impression is that neither is cheap. At least good quality (if not high quality) merchandise, at prices to match. The question is, did Ed spend wisely? Any bets>
Just to recap the week’s developments: Ed, who for years has purchased from Bean’s End online and paid with a credit card, was waiting for an order than was supposed to be delivered in 15 minutes (even though previously he received items instantaneously via drone or teleporter). He then revealed that he paid for this “premium purple prime” instant order with a check which was sent through the mail, a check on which he put the wrong amount twice (numerical and written out), and was upset that he overspent by $1,000. Now BE says Ed’s overpayment can be used for future purchases, and he has already spent the $1,000 he was so worried about not getting back. Oh, and he mistook the word “pigeon” for “smidgen.” Anyone care to point out the humor?
What a Gull – a – bull! What a nim – cow – poop! Bean’s End saw him coming and said to each of the staff: “Merry Christmas in July! Crankshaft is ordering again”!

The end. What’s next, more bus shenanigans or do we get the Funky immigrants again?

He’s a school bus driver? Or dose he have a job on the side with SpaceX.

If you already spent it how is it an overpayment?

And I thought Edge City carried on its arcs too long.

There will be skids full 6 feet high stuffed in garage and the entire driveway are new gardening gadgets and cucumber seeds.

Ed didn’t want a hole burned in his pocket from that extra money.
