Wimpy owed Popeye $600 (all names have been changed), but Wimpy didn’t have $600. Instead, he sent Popeye a check for $450. Popeye cashed the check and sent Wimpy a bill for the remaining $150. Wimpy felt he didn’t have to pay any more money. He had sent all that he had, and Popeye had accepted it. Therefore, according to Wimpy, under the law, he didn’t owe the balance. Is he right?
No. But he was close. If Wimpy had written something on his check like “Payment in full” or “Final payment,” then Wimpy could have been right. If that had been the case, then Popeye would have had to make a choice: return the check and try to get the full $600 from Wimpy or cash the check and forget about the $150 balance.

Take Salad Season to the Next Level
Warmer months typically call for lighter bites, and one of the first things that comes to mind for many is a fresh and flavorful salad. While a salad is a quick and easy way to up your veggie intake and get food on the table in next to no time, the same formula over and over again can make mealtimes feel mundane. To take your salads to the next level, think of those greens as a blank slate for creativity and look beyond the bowl for elements that can help create new, satisfying meals. Find more ideas to elevate salad season at freshexpress.com.
