HMC - Add to your list of reasons one might not be able to read the fine print being over 50 and for whatever reason not having your reading glasses handy. I can't count how many times I have been snagged by the tiny print precisely because I misread it due to not being able to see it. And no, when I'm shopping I don't necessarily have a pair of reading glasses handy nor enough light or time to process and unravel the often convoluted information being put forth in that fine print. Then again, being difficult to figure out is purely intentional on the part of manufacturers and stores too. Recently, JC Penney has been getting into the act with the confusing fine print on the bottom of its coupons. They bank on the fact that shoppers will throw up their hands and just accept whatever they get without question once they get rung up at the register, even when they thought they would get a better deal.
