Check out this minor (but funny) tale of woe. My local thrift store had a sign saying "Buy one item of glassware and get 50% off the second piece of glassware." So I found this green depression mixing bowl and blue opal cream and sugar, marked $4.49 ea.

When I pointed out to the cashier that one should be 50% off, she said "Oh, that's only on glassware." So I start banging on the stuff and say "Well, what are these?" She explains that "glassware" means something that you can drink out of, like tumblers or stemware. Then she calls up a manager who tells me the same thing. I said "Well, I thought I've been a dealer of glassware for the last 20 years, but I guess I've had it all wrong." I bought both at full price, but it does kind of stick in my craw. By the way, anybody know what the cream and sugar really is? I think I've had one of the same for years, yet now I've bought another one.
