2, 4, 6, 8, Time To Get Your Numbers Straight

Customer: “Do you have this in a size 9?”

Me: “Sorry, no. We only carry even sizes. I can show you a size 8 or 10.”

Customer: “You don’t have a size 9?”

Me: “No, we only have even-numbered sizes.”

Customer: “Do you have a 9 in the back?”

Me: “No. There is no size 9.”

Customer: “So, can you order it for me?”

Me: “No, ma’am. We only have even numbers.”

Customer: *blank stare*

Me: “Er, that means 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14.”

Customer: “So, do you know when you’ll be getting a size 9?”
