Demand for tips from online
company makes wife see red
DEAR ABBY: My hus
band recently broke his
eyeglasses. Because they
couldn’t be repaired local
ly, he sent them by mail to
a company that had been
referred to him. They fixed
his glasses and returned
them to him.
A short time later he
received an email from the
company “salesperson”
requesting a tip! (“If you
are happy with me as your
salesperson and would like
to give me a tip, please
click on the link below.”)
My husband replied, “Can
you please send me a
receipt? I need it for my
records.” She replied,
“How much will you tip
me?” He said, “Is the only
way I can get a receipt for
my repairs is if I tip you?”
She replied, “Yes, can you
give me $5.”
I have never heard of an
online company soliciting
tips before, let alone refus
ing to send a receipt unless
one is given. How would
you respond to this?
Getting a receipt is not the
important thing here; it’s
the solicitation that dumb-
founds me! —
DUMBFOUNDED IN
TINLEY PARK, ILL.
DEAR DUMB
FOUNDED: Every time I
think I have heard every
thing, a letter like yours
crosses my desk. The word
for what that salesperson is
attempting is extortion.
Your husband should con
tact the owner of the com
pany that repaired his
glasses, tell the person the
name of the employee who
is trying to extort money
and the date it happened,
and request the receipt. If it
doesn’t arrive posthaste, the
company should be report
ed to the Better Business
Bureau.
P.S. Who referred you to
that company? That person
should also be informed
about what has been going
on.
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
DEAR ABBY: Ever
since my son was a baby
(he’s almost 6 now), my
husband and I have printed
photograph invitations for
his birthday parties. We
sent the invitations to
everyone, including those
who lived too far away to
attend, so people could
have a current picture of
him.
After reading many of
your archives, I realize this
may be perceived as a bid
for gifts, and I no longer
wish to do it. I would still
like to send out a picture
card of some sort. Any
ideas on how to do it with
out making anyone think
we want gifts? — DON’T
WANT TO MAKE
WAVES
DEAR DON’T: A way
to do that would be to send
them during the holidays
when your friends and rela
tives are sending out cards
to friends and acquaintanc
es.

DEAR ABBY: I work
the newspaper crossword
puzzle every day. I came
across an answer recently
that stumped me. It was an
“abbreviation for bowling
lane.” The answer was
AMF. I’m asking you what
it stands for because I can
not get a straight answer.
What is so secretive about
this logo? Please help. —
STUMPED IN TEXAS
DEAR STUMPED: The
clue may have been mis
leading. AMF is a
BRAND. It stands for
American Machine and
Foundry, which many years
ago was one of the nation’s
largest recreational equip
ment companies.
