Now that I'm actually paying, my prices are dropping with each visit, 55L total with 3 probe drill bits = $26 bucks.

I change my story around sometimes depending on who asks.
- I'm working on a folding project to help cure disease and running a semi-conductor under ln2 provides faster results
- I'm an overclocker (doesn't go well, frequently get the O.o look)
- I use it to cool my computer (same face O.o but with the "You're full of shit" look and quite possibly a terrorist)
- I live in a low-income neighborhood and make ice-cream for the neighborhood kids
- If you give me free or cheap Ln2, you can call me when the popo pull you over or bust down your doo. (this one works good)


Another tip, if your 20L dewar has a sticker that says "8" on it and the tech asks you if its an 8 liter, tell him no its a 20L but you can put 8L on the paper. Worked like a charm.

Oh and yah, local style is you pick up or cator lunch for the entire crew and drop it off with the manager and say thanks for the good service. (either that or an envelope once every other month with "Lunch" money in it)
