This is a very clever receipt service for those expensive purchases your partner might not entirely appreciate

We’d never suggest you were anything less than 100% honest in your relationship with your loved one. Except, you know, sometimes you might spend more money on a hobby or a gadget or whatever that your partner might not entirely appreciate.

Like a musical instrument being a classic case in point.

And this shop offers a very clever receipt service which they’ve also managed to turn into a money spinner.

Everyone’s a winner right? Apart from the truth, obviously.

‘Yes honey I paid $15 for this guitar,’ writes Roach2791 who shared it on Reddit.

‘There’s that old joke that a person’s worst nightmare is that their spouse sells their hobby stuff for the amount they claimed to have paid for it…’ dougaderly

‘I used to work at a model railway specialty store, and we got the occasional request for an old-fashioned receipt to wave at the wife. (All we could do for them was hand-write some BS price + tax in a tear-off sales book.)

‘We did have one older customer pass away, once, and his wife asked our manager if he’d care to buy his collection. Used stuff was always popular, so he went to look at it all, and offered her over two grand. The poor widow almost had a heart attack. The “cheap toys” he brought home were worth more on the used table than he’d ever let on when buying them.’ carmium

‘Could you imagine having an intimate relationship with another human being where you had to lie about the cost of the things you buy?’ AllenKCarlson

Er, yes?
