Yup, I said that. Call me a crook, but it's a cut-throat world out there. You didn't steal anything it fell into place. There is a difference.

That is wrong to think like that, if you knowingly take something and not return it, you are a thief.

In my case it was different. The lady that gave me an extra 10 dollar bill was talking to another customer while she was ringing me up. She should have been paying attention. Her mind wasn't focused on me anyway. She annoyed me because she didn't pay me attention. When I looked after she gave me change, that's when I noticed she gave me extra. I looked at it as she should have been paying attention, she wouldn't have short-changed me. That's her bad.

Solomon, you just don't get it. If you take something that isn't rightfully yours, it is stealing.

Back to point. I think Alice Hyatt in the early seasons was boring because they were trying to make her another Mary Richards where she would react to all antics that was going on around her. That did not work. Plus the character was recently widowed, trying to raise a child on her own plus raising herself, moved into a state without knowing anyone, working a lower class job to make ends meet and pursuing a dream of being a singer. The first couple of seasons they were dealing with all that so that's what made Alice Hyatt boring but when the third season rolled around Alice did loosen up quite a bit. At the same time Linda Lavin became difficult to work with because she wanted to be her show and not an ensemble show with her as the star.
