The woman was always frequenting small antique shops, but regardless of
what she saw there, she always complained about something. The quality
was poor or the prices too high, or even the location.
The shop owners took it in stride, but one day, while ranting and raving,
(and, as usual, not buying) she blasted at the clerk, "Why is it I never
manage to get what I ask for in your shop?"
The clerk smiled and replied, "Possibly, because we're too polite."

too much like something I could afford."

"Taking It To The Top"
The store's policy on returns was prominently posted at every register
as well as throughout the store.
Every receipt also had the same information. A store credit would be
given on all returns, but there were no cash refunds.
After explaining this policy to the grouchy dowager, the woman blew
up at the clerk, finally demanding the name of the President and his address.
The clerk calmly replied, "William Clinton, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,
Washington, DC."
The woman promptly wrote this information down and stuffed it into
her purse.
"He will hear from ME!" she announced as she stormed out of the store.
