STUTTGART, Germany — Somebody screwed up.

“This is not my problem,” replied Giuseppe Muré.

Muré, who for 21 years has worked as a barber in the Stuttgart military community, is clinging to the terms of his contract with the Army and Air Force Exchange Service. That contract, AAFES claims, has caused Muré to be overpaid by about 750 euros per month since April 2005.

That’s about 15,000 euros.

AAFES — which operates businesses and oversees vendors at U.S. military installations — is not asking Muré to pay back any money. It just wants Muré to start operating under the terms of what it says the contract should have read in the first place.
