I was shopping with my spouse, and we had decided not to buy any clothes because we already had plenty. He turned away, and I found a stunning dress on sale for $49 instead of $349! I grabbed it and instructed the sales assistant, ‘Don’t speak the price out loud!’

When she noticed my husband, she virtually shrieked, ‘You get this dress for free since you’re our 100th customer!’ I felt a mix of exhilaration and humiliation, but the circumstance demanded a little too much attention from me.
