Customer: “I want some of these coffee beans, but I want them as a powder.”

Me: “Yes, we can grind them here for you if you like.”

Customer: “But will it hurt the beans?”

Me: “Well, it won’t affect the beans in any way – it will still be the same coffee, if that’s what you mean?”

Customer: “No, I mean will it HURT the beans?”

Me: “…well, they’re coffee beans, so I don’t think they can actually feel any pain…”

Customer: “But you aren’t 100% sure on that…I think I’ll leave it, then.”
