A short time after Christmas one year I was waiting on line at
Williams-Sonoma and one of my items was dish towels. A woman
walks up behind me in line and says, How much are those towels?
(I think they are $16 a 4 pack. Whatever) I told her. Wordlessly
she showed me her towels. Pointed at the price. $7. I thought
it was cute of her, I just really didn't want the green and red
Christmas striped ones that were on sale.

I did feel chastened. She was nice about it but I got the message.
Still paid my $16.
