What's stopping you approaching an actual glazier?

If you're using tempered glass, which is the only safe option for a glass tabletop, then you can't cut it. Autoglass is tempered so they can't help you since the order all their glass to size.

This is very important op. Make sure it's tempered.

The fact that I won't be able to fit it in my car so I will be carrying it on foot with a friend.

My friend said the fact that its so large (78" 18" 3/4") means its probably temppered. How could i check?

You can look at it in the sunlight with polarized sunglasses and there will be spots or lines on it. There might also be markings on one of the corners depending on where it came from.

If it isn't tempered and you fall on it or something it has a pretty good chance of killing you.

It's almost certainly tempered. Sounds like it's a window, and nobody puts in a huge, thick plate glass window that isn't tempered. Cutting and grinding must be done prior to tempering.

If it is tempered, it's basically a white elephant unless you want a huge glass dining room table.

Is it going to be used as a table top or is it going to be placed on top of a wooden table to protect the table top? If its the second option you can use plate, if not then it will have to be tempered. If the glass you have is tempered and you try to cut it it will shatter. Tempered glass has a certain sound when tapped with something metal as opposed to the sound of annealed. Also as the other anon said it will have spots when looked at through polarized or it will say tempered on the bug in the corner. Tempered cannot be cut unless re-annealed. As far as actually cutting the glass I haven't cut anything larger than 3/8" if you decide to try to cut it use a brush dipped in kero and brush where you're going to cut before you score.

Tempered vs Annealed, may be useful to know about

Why not just build a big ass coffee table around the glass?

Ok well it looks like you are fucked op but just to let you know that a glass tool from the hardware store only creates a tiny score like a crack in the glass, you then have to break the glass and it just smashes along the line you scored. It won't cut the glass. So if you think you are capable of snapping 3/4"glass by hand then good fucking luck to you buddy.
