When I read Daves comment to Ruth my scrambled brain reminded me of being
in a Kroger store a few weeks after the Winn-Dixie stores stopped giving
their customers S&H Green Stamps at the check-out registers.

I was in a check-out line at that Kroger and saw a large Yellow banner
saying:

"We Will Never Take Your Top-Value Stamps Away" .

And YES!, once in a while I will mention that phrase while I'm shopping at
Kroger.
But most of the employees I tell it to weren't working for Kroger back when
I saw that banner many years ago.

Yes, I'm a hard case.
