Ah...  :)

I wouldn't use the parking lot donation bins... I keep getting calls
from the local Big Brothers/Big Sisters and from the Viet Vets...
probably the AmVets, too...  and there's also the SA and VOA locally...

Was it tasty anyway...?  (G)  I don't think it needed the milk...  ;)

I don't think it's a state law here, but I know that there's a similar
store policy at Wegmans... been in effect ever since they stopped
putting the price on each individual item and just went with the shelf
tags and barcodes...  Pretty sure it only applies to apparent
overcharges...  ;)
