Mae said resignedly, "You can have this for ten cents."
"That’d be robbin’ you, ma’am."
– John Steinbeck
The Grapes of Wrath, Chapter 15. Steinbeck describes how a migrant farmer with a family refuses to take a fifteen-cent loaf of bread offered for ten cents. The man’s sense of dignity won’t let him steal from the diner. But diner waitress Mae shows her generosity by insisting that the family takes the bread at the discounted price.
