Filled with molasses. He got slapped with 'contempt of court' so fast it made his head crash. (lets all make up new hybrid cliches, OK?) Point #2: Since this 'Nothing ove $20' practice started, I have been asking sales people (and even some managers) "What if I buy $99.99 worth of whatever you sell and try to pay with a hundred dollar bill? Will you take it?" Almost all say they would. The issue appears to be not the size of the bill, but the amount of change they give you. You can buy one gumball with a twenty, and they'll do it. But not with anything larger, they don't want to keep that much cash on hand. Point #3: There is NOOOO point #3. Point #4: No, you CAN NOT say exactly who you willserve in your business. This is the whole point of the Civil Rights Act, isn't it? Berry Kercheval Zehntel Inc. (ihnp4!zehntel!zinfandel!berry) (415)932-6900
