I pay the price put on it by someone else. I cannot see what your point
is
here. Are you going to moan about supermarket workers who get a
discount so
don't pay the "real" price? Thought not. This is beginning to sound
like a
bad case of sour grapes.


When you work in a charity shop you are in a position of trust, if you
buy something knowing that the pricing is wrong you should say so.
It has nothing to do with sour grapes it is about honesty and staff
cheating a charity out of income.


The word 'honesty' shouldn't even appear here because you did not read her
earlier post, obviously. She offered to pay more and the offer was
refused by the person who priced the labels and was in charge of the
pricing. They wanted rid of *some* of the labels to make room, put a
price on them and a higher payment, suggested BY THE BUYER, Kathy, was
refused. This is turning into something quite ridiculous, given its place
in the scheme of things but it's also very unkind and has arisen because
people have not read the thread correctly.


I do wonder, Sacha, that if I had just posted that I got them in a charity
shop, without mentioning that I work there, if I would have got the same
reaction. Somehow I doubt it.

Ann told me today that the official handing over of the tenancy of the
lottie plot takes place at the end of the month. I'm quite looking forward
to it :-}
