Re:radicchio-Do you own a restaurant or something? (xposted)

[Guest guest]

-yep I have to confess something

when i buy radicchio atthe local stop & shop (this doesn't happen at

whole foods)...well I used to tell them when I was buying raddichio

instead of red cabbage but after much sighing and annoying glances

from the cahsier

when they ask me red cabbage?

i just go yeah kinda

It's just easier for everyone-unless I'm shopping alone and there is

no line

then I take time to educate the cashier

and of course I feel no guilt when it just goes through with out

mybeing aware

What really stinks is when you correct them only to

discover it cost you a lot more to have done so.

 

[but, hey, I've returned a $10 bill as a kid when

a cashier thought I had handed her a $20 instead

of the ten that I actually had. <pat> <pat> LOL!

Actually, those <pat>s should go to my parents, heh?]

Erin,

I know

thats what I have had happen too.

Then I let it slide a couple of times but not without guilt

Cabbage is cheaper.

 

From what I can tell your parents did a wonderful job! :-)
