Okay, so there wasn't really any other article talking about stores
preferring Euros? I'll let you in on a little secret: I never really
suspected there was; I was 99 444/100% sure that this was just
something you were making up, and attaching an article to "sup****t"
your position for anyone who couldn't read.

Learn not to make up stuff out of whole cloth, and I won't call you on
your lies (or "quibble", as you put it).
