Cold But Not Calculating
(There is a deal at my store that reduces the prices on DVDs if you get five or more. A customer rings up four DVDs.)
Me: “So, you know if you get another movie, it’ll cost you fifty cents less than what you have right now?”
Customer: “What did you say to me?”
Me: “Um, well, we have this deal…”
Customer: “If I wanted another DVD, I would have gotten one before. And I would pay for it, too, because I believe in the system we have running here. I don’t need no filthy communist telling me how to use my money!”
Me: “I really don’t think that’s how communism works, but okay. That’ll be eight bucks.”
Customer: “Don’t you tell me how communism works! I fought in that war!”
Me: “Which war?”
Customer: “The Cold War!”
