Dear Ann Landers,
have a friend who is a genius when it comes to chiseling small amounts. Whenever we get on a bus she says, "Put in my fare, Minnie. I haven't got change. I'll get it next time." When we go for coffee breaks I get stuck at least twice a week. Yesterday she asked me to pick up her watch at the jeweler's, neglecting to mention I'd have to pay $2.50 to get the watch out. I don't want to be petty, but I can't afford these small nicks. Help!-Minnie The Mooched On
