Used my eyes, but couldn't resist explaining one amber souvenir necklace to the new clerk and lifted part of it up on the counter. (about two inches of a 24 inch souvenir necklace) "What did I tell you"...yadayada. I do the best I can, but you're talking to an overtired aspie playing tag with MA and a thing for teaching about jewelry... you leave a teaching tool on the counter and I'm the bad guy???? It's not the first time, so he darned well knew better, but I also knew better than to even apologize (also than to do it in the first place, but too late for that part). Spent my $20 and went home.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
