That happened once at a store where I was shopping, a lady was trying to buy
potatoes at a cheap price but didn't have the card, I said she could use
mine, the clerk refused to do it (can you imagine that) so I said...give me
the damned potatoes and I'll buy them using my card which I did. I asked the
clerk if he thought he was the food police or something before I left him
standing there. The potatoes were a freaking dollar with the card!!!
