Hey, come to think of it, in our 55 1/2 yrs of marriage and living in many place, I never had to return a grocery item. There were a few times when I thought the item was inedible, but I just did not want to bother to drive back to the store just to get a few dollars or cents back. I always thought being miserly was a sign of being mean.

I witnessed an elderly man demanding at a restaurant that he was shortchanged ten cents. The line behind him was getting log and long, so I gave him a dime and asked him to leave. He drove away in a brand new Cadillac. Ever since then I swore to myself that I would never be one of those miserly mean grouches.
