Just remember to specify "No Bug" so they don't etch that stupid tempered logo in the corner.

Then, when it arrives WITH the bug in the corner (50/50 chance), you get it for 1/2 price.

Right.

The "bug" is an etched logo in the corner of the glass that:

1. Shows the building inspector that the glass is tempered.

2. Advertises the company that did the tempering.

Pinheads need neither of the above, so always ask for "no bug" when ordering tempered glass.

About 1/2 the time, the glass arrives with The Bug etched in, even though you explicitly stated that you did not want it.

Because the glass is worthless to the shop (it can't be cut for any other purpose), the shop will offer it for 50% off - just to get rid of it.
