I had a Mayberry moment this week when I asked a neighborhood lady, likely in her late 80's, to do a men's pants alteration for me. When I asked her the cost, she said, "Well, it's a little more than $5, but not quite $10, so would $7 be okay?" In this day of what often seems to be stinging service prices, I thought it was such a sweet response and it reminded me of Bert Miller, who never wanted to offend anyone by charging too much. BTW, I wouldn't have been surprised if she'd charged $20 for this tedious job so I'm gonna come out $10 to the good when I happily and gratefully pay $10. "Bless her heart."
