Yesterday was a sad day.  LLBean, the iconic Freeport Maine-based clothing company, had to amend its famous return policy:

WHO DOES THIS?  Who thinks it is appropriate to go to a yard sale, buy a pair of used slippers and return them to LLBean?!  IF your family is hungry/homeless I could understand.  Somehow I doubt the perpetrators of this failure of integrity are down on their luck; rather, they are immoral opportunists.

How you conduct your affairs matters.  The Golden Rule is relevant to all of us in all situations.
