The part I left out about our Friend is that several of the men she went shopping with were married. Married men pay cash when they are buying for their lady friends. Cash items are easier to return since there is no credit card involved.
Definitely true, although I don't begrudge my folks the perks as they worked damned hard to get them

The second part makes total sense if the person wants to keep the affair on the QT and not just for the return policy

I would probably say that, but unless he makes lots of money, I probably won't get him to buy it. And that's okay.

No kidding. I took the gkids to see Avatar. The movie 2 sodas and 1 popcorn about $50.

I haven't bought food or drinks at the movie theater in years. I do bring my own though, and just carry a big purse.

Oh absolutely, and I love movie theater popcorn. The most I would do now is buy a kids meal or something, which is usually about $6 and comes with candy, drink, and popcorn but in small portions. Suits me just fine. I just have a major issue with paying that much for one single item, especially given how expensive the tickets are. I also usually go to a matinee.
