Preserving (N+1)=(S-1): Bike shop allegedly offering "spouse receipt"

In what is being described as a "genius" bit of salesmanship the service would allow customers to change the price of a purchase on the receipt and, if true, would add a new level of subterfuge to spousal cycle spending transparency.

Ahhh yes! Deceit is always a good way to build forward a relationship. . . .

And when the receipt doesn't match the bank statement?

...

(unless you pay the difference in cash).

Or just bring it home and put it in the back of wherever you store your bikes ('cuz I know you don't store your bikes outside) and then when you finally pull it out some time later and are asked "When did you get that?"  you can honestly say "Oh, I have had this for a while!"

;)   Love it!

It certainly helps that cycling is a healthy and green activity. Compared to all the other options  for spending time and money  bikes are an approved obsession. I pretty much have  a  cycling hall  pass. She  just shakes her head when I  stare and say, "what a nice bike!" oblivious to  the physique of it's rider. Of course that might change if I ever lusted for a newer, lighter, hand crafted trophy bike.

I wish it was a money issue. Having a bikey bf, he knows the count and holds me to a limited number "due to space". 

I'd say that your relationship sucks if you feel you have to stoop to this.

I think I have to agree with Greg on this.

On the other hand, sometimes the relationship really does suck, and you do what you have to do...

Or so I've heard.
