This is for irate in Washington d.c.," who complained about parents who let their kids eat food off the shelf in the grocery store. Some years ago my son knocked a Glass Jar off a grocery shelf. Broken Glass an Jelly were everywhere. We went immediately to the checkout Topay for it. The cashier said never mind. It s  i calmly told her that i pay for things my children break. She insisted that the store would get credit for the Jelly from the manufacturer. I wanted to scream. I firmly restated my position and told her to ring up the Jelly twice once for the one we bought an again for the one my son broke. My son also apologized for the   -. If i had let the manufacturer absorb the Cost of the breakage who do you think would have paid for the Jelly everyone including the cashier.

Dear Ann Landers my husband recently became a truck Driver for company that allows him to take a passenger along after a certain period of time and a Good driving re Cord. I accompanied him on one of his Ruris and we delivered a variety of goods through 11 states. This experience certainly heightened my admiration and appreciation for the hard work All truck Drivers do. That respect was greatly diminished by the profanity and filthy conversation i heard broadcast Over the cd radio. There were times when we needed the cd to get directions or listen to Road conditions up ahead and i was appalled at what i heard. There Are Many Drivers who take their children wit them especially during the summer. Hundreds of youngsters could be listening to your conversations Over the cd. Please consider this before you speak. . I have printed other letters Over the years about dirty talkers on the airwaves. One More won t Hurt. I appreciate the caveat and so will the thousands of truckers who read this letter. Letters to Ann Landers should be addressed to her at . Box 11562. Chi Cago Iii. 60611-0562.
