Ask Not, Get Not!

I am not the kind of person who complains a lot or complains for no reason.  However, if I am a regular customer at your business and something is not right I will let you know. Today I stopped at two grocery stores to grab three items.  Both stores are upscale grocery markets that I visit every two weeks for the same items.  I am a creature of habit!  One store sells my eight-piece baked chicken, and the other store sells my yogurt.  At my first stop to get my chicken, all the packages were over-cooked.  After searching, I picked the least worst of them.  While headed to the register I decided to let the manager know and ask for a reduced price.  The manager ended up giving me the chicken free, as well as the can of milk that I was going to purchase.

The bible says, “You have not because you ask not.”  Since I believe the bible, I ask for what I want in life.  But back to the story!  My next stop was to pick up my yogurt.  This is also where I get my expensive Tiramisu, a popular coffee-flavored Italian dessert, when I have something to celebrate.  Before I left home I had already told myself that I cannot have Tiramisu today because of my budget.  Well, guess what!  Now that I just saved $6.50 at the other grocery store, I can afford my favorite dessert.  Ask not, get not!
