I just assumed that he turned the o in ergo into a smiley face, to accentuate the general, apathic "oh, noooooo" feeling of the no tip reciever. The '=' is after the 'o' instead of the (more common) other way around since Japan is on the other side of the planet.

I think that paying all in cash is a function of the Underground economy. They can't get recognized by credit card companies or else the humans will find out and put a stop to that. But I guess that doesn't mean that there can't be Underground credit companies. That might get tricky with the federal govm't. Cat macro-economics is Achewood.

Who carries that much cash on them?
Obviously the same type of guy who buys 365 pairs of briefs at 9:41 on a Friday morning.
It looks like Roast Beef is deliberately avoiding creating a paper trail. I guess he doesn't want any record indicating he can't be bothered to launder his undies.
So he has enough underwear that he can go for a year without wearing the same pair of briefs twice? This supports the OCD theory postulated earlier, methinks.
9:41 am so he can start fresh today
9:41 am to beat the rush. He has purchased the store's entire stock.
I should hardly think a place called Underpants Time should be sold out of underpants so easily. I mean, were I to go to a place called Underpants Time only to find out it is not indeed underpants time, I would be hella pissed.
Also, while I'm hardly surprised Beef reads Wired, I've never really gotten into the spirit of it. The magazine is very pedestrian. I prefer Technology Review myself.
And who on earth eats Surf and Turf and pumpkin pie at 9:30 in the morning? And what kind of restauranteur would serve such things at 9:30 in the morning? More to the point, what kind of sushi restaurant is open at 9:30?
The underground is a realm of mystery and confusion.
Beef is wasting money on buying the hard copy of Wired. They put up all the good articles on their website, and also have several articles that aren't fit for print/too timely to put in the actual magazine.
Given that cats are crepuscular, it makes perfect sense.
Science
He must've been going fast to go to the shopping plaza from the restaurant, get 365 pairs of underpants to the counter, and then pay for them in 9 minutes. Thats a guy who doesn't mess about.

I think there is a chance that our friend tristanhw may hail from England, where his chosen phrasing is more common.
ah, that could well explain it
as far as british dialect, i only know cockney slang, and only a little of that
instead of "feet" they say "plates of meat"?
i have been informed by a reliable source that this is true
Was your reliable source George Orwell, by any chance? Because I wouldn't trust that fella, if I were you. Never trust a man who goes around shootin' elephants.
no just a friend in britain
...your name is spelled "pyjamas"
i find that has more character than the standard pajamas or pjs
if you must know
I would not enjoy your comments half so much if the lack of capitalisation coupled with your display picture didn't make me picture a sheepish NoCal t-rex expounding on his favoured nuances of wordplay
BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I so love it when you Yanks talks like London tourists! It's put such a smile on my boat race!
