You from California Joe? Big brother seems to be alive and well out there.
We we first got together my wife was embarassed by my "Is that your best
price?" attitude, even in department stores. But now she participates. You
don't ask and you don't get.
"UH...that Polo shirt is missing a button, is it discounted?"
And almost everywhere you DO NOT have the right to refuse service to
anyone..not if you are basing it on race, color, national origin or the other
things we tried to get behind us years ago..
