I have money taken from a deity.
I ordered Chinese takeout today for lunch. I went to pick it up. I paid for it, but they only had like two one-dollar bills in the drawer. So what did the guy do? Obviously he took two dollars from the shrine to buddha that sits in front of the cash register table.
I was in shock. They stole money from Buddha and gave it to me as change for my General Tso's chicken (who the hell is that guy?) and egg drop soup.
But then the woman said, "Write down how much you took so we can pay back the Buddha."
This did not really make me feel much better. Granted I no longer had 'stolen' sacred money. Now I just had 'borrowed' sacred money. That almost seems worse.
