When he wants something, like a better table in a restaurant he says to me, 'Honey, go do that thing you do and get us a better table.'<br />He in turn cooks dinner for me and makes my lunch (that I bring to work) among other things!<br />I know it can be frustrating but you have to pick your battles!Molly On Moneyhttp://mollyonmoney.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-48178585243866415192010-10-21T22:02:47.444-04:002010-10-21T22:02:47.444-04:00I used to use Linens and Things coupons at Bed Bat...I used to use Linens and Things coupons at Bed Bath and Beyond all the time, and I use Joann's coupons at Michaels.

But thanks for agreeing with me that maybe talking to a manager was in order.<br /><br />@Grace - If he and I are together, I do the talking (aka...can I see a manager). But I was at work, and he went alone. And here we are.

But I'm good about asking, "Are you sure? Do you mind checking with the manager anyway?"<br /><br />Home Depot is funny, though. The one here by the base gives military a 10% discount, but the one closest to our house doesn't. Apparently it's "manager's discretion".
