And I WILL go to customer service for that 25 cents. Oh yes I will. Someone's got to teach them a lesson, and that person is me. It's hard being me.halcyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16153075174949462914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-13451453267586119782014-07-03T10:51:50.831-05:002014-07-03T10:51:50.831-05:00I am in line at Little Louies in Northbrook years ...I am in line at Little Louies in Northbrook years ago. (previous owners, old building when they had paper plates taped to the walls with menu items and prices on them) I am waiting to order and looking at the paper plate by the register that says "Motz. Stix $0.77 , 3 for $2.40. The owner asks me what my order is. Back then, he wasn't quite as bad as the Soup Nazi but he expected you to have your shit together. I pointed to the Motz sign and said did you know it's cheaper to buy them individually? He said "That sign has been up for 5 years and you are the first one that noticed." "Do I get a free order for noticing?" "No! Do you want to order or not?" Does this apply to the Brooks Brothers story? I am not sure.

I brought it downtown for the free alterations and got charged for them anyway. Brooks Brothers seemed too elegant a place to haggle over a few bucks, but to be honest about it, my life has been the classic "easy come, easy go," the latter especially. <br />Johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-16254414779746543632014-07-03T08:07:10.003-05:002014-07-03T08:07:10.003-05:00Ellen, hydrogen peroxide is BAD for injuries.

I go from Macy's with my 20% cards to Kohl's (where I only shop if I get the 30% card) to Good Will where I check the labels. <br />Barbara PalmerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-78115966135228029562014-07-03T00:05:47.768-05:002014-07-03T00:05:47.768-05:00I scored a couple of like new Brooks Bros shirts a...I scored a couple of like new Brooks Bros shirts at a thrift shop in Winnetka for the excessive price of $2.50 each, last fall.<br />Then I saw a Brooks ad in the paper.
