Who's the friggin cheapskate?

Just an addendum to something that raising 2 kids wrote about recently regarding the cheapskate housekeeper at work. She's not only cheap, but she's a stingy, sly business woman as well. The mean talker told me this morning how the housekeeper offered her some spring rolls one afternoon while making her rounds, something she has done a few times for our office. They're yummy and we all enjoy them. So, the mean talker patiently waits for the housekeeper to come back in with the spring rolls. She never returns, so she figures the housekeeper has forgotten. A few days pass and the housekeeper comes in with 2 containers of spring rolls- about 30 of them. She tells the mean talker that she has her spring rolls and owes her 50 bucks!! The mean talker had no idea that they made this kind of transaction. If you remember, sometimes things get lost in translation with the cheapskate, so apparently, she'd made a deal to buy 30 spring rolls for 50 bucks.... or did she??
So, raising 2 kids, don't you dare give her that handbag she's asked you to make or if you do, when you give it to her, tell her it's a hundred bucks... that was the deal, doesn't she remember?

I'm with ya sista!! Raising2kids needs to stand up to her and MAKE A PROFIT! No spring rolls are worth that much money---you could order that many from a restaurant for about $15 bucks...language barrier my ass!
