Yes you did. And so did a few others. I must have missed the post
that gave the information to make the assessments you've made about
his behavior.

I've seen this type people also. In the work place. They would never
be part of my circle.

On this I absolutely agree with you. I work with one of the cheapest
people I've ever seen. And he does it shamelessly without a clue of
what an ass he looks like. He delivered some menus we printed to a
customer 10 years ago. They gave him a free cup of coffee. I'm sure
they didn't plan on him showing up the next day for another free cup.
He's been going there several times a week for 10 years and they've
never had the nerve to stop this practice and he tells them they are
getting a discount on their menu's. They're not. I could on and on
about him and other skinflints I've known. I can base my opinion on
what I've actually seen and heard, Not by assuming something. Jill
comes in here bitching about something almost every weekend and she
doesn't get as much shit as this OP has. I don't get it.

He's a whole different story. Everyone has to choose their own best
way to deal with him.
