			Thanks, denton, for the implied compliment.  I was that guy at the Gift House (or at least I hope you were referring to me!). 
 
I hate going in there any more.  Scott was never a neat man, but my word that place is cluttered with crap.  He's also the exact opposite of Norman.  Scott will not only negotiate, but he's liable to give friends a below-cost price.  I often thought that he'd rather be popular than profitable, but it was his business, not mine.   
 
His discounts to me were so embarrassing that I sometimes snuck money INTO his safe just to assuage my own conscience.  And that's the truth.
