Grocery store refund stories have a threshold moment and this one involves potato peelings. Tony cooked the potato. Then he checked the receipt. The price was wrong. He had no potato left, only the peelings, so he took the peelings back to the store as evidence and came home with 90 cents. The workers are still talking about it.

There is something about a 90 cent principle that either makes complete sense to you or makes you deeply uncomfortable. Ryan O’Donnell would not go back because he does not want to become a story. The texts from 71010 ranged from five cents to ten dollars and every single person had a number they felt certain about.

Nobody calls it the principle of the thing when the principle is 90 cents. Tony Potato does.
