Yep, and smart shoppers in the area no doubt do that; but enough consumers don't do that (I suspect Lilli is one of these when I'm
not around) that the store sees fit to continue the practice - I
was going to say nefarious practice, but it's not that, just a
waste of time and effort.

It's the store's way of getting more profits, probably....

That's the way it always is. The stores may want you to
think they have a soft spot for you, but the only soft
spot is in the heads of those who believe that. Weggie's
has figured out that for the demographic it serves, being
nice gets better results than being cutthroat.

And wins it kudos and accolades... :)

I generally don't get no-iron or easy-care fabrics -
but don't iron and don't care anyway.

Yup... gave up on ironing a long time ago... we just take stuff out of
the dryer and shake it out, and hang it up (or fold it) right away...
and a few wrinkles don't matter anyway... fortunately for me, Richard's
in agreement there... ;)

I don't even bother with the dryer, tending to do ironing
by body heat.

You do tend to have a much smaller inventory... :)

Apparently... and, you did say it was to hack through stuff, so maybe their standards are just lower than yours....? ;)

Maybe, but maybe there was a conspiracy - the trio people
were supposed to be performing with the other group's other
violin player next day.

Hmmm, that does seem a little suspect.... ;0

I don't think it was actual malice but just sort of
tweaking my nose.

Adding that in those circles I run in, my perceived
eminence from provenance and resume is usually respected
though on occasion poked at.

Good-natured tweaking, then.... :)

... Nothing is so smiple that it can't get screwed up.
