Leave the tag on

For Father’s Day this year I bought my husband a tie from Gresham Blake in Brighton.  Since we were there for his work and I neglected to pack my wrapping paper, I asked the friendly and purple-haired saleswoman if she could wrap it for me.  She said that they had a bit of tissue she could put it in, and asked me if I would like her to take the price tag of.  I said “Yes, please,”  and asked “does anyone actually say no to that?”  She replied, “You’d be surprised.  Some people want the person to know how much they paid.”

How bizarre!  Well, I guess then I need not have been so embarrassed last I gave a gift with the price tag still attached if some people do that on purpose!
