These Boots Were Made For Water…

(I work at a boot store. I get a decent amount of customers that ask questions, due to the large selection that we have. I am always patient and understanding, as there are so many factors when it comes to getting the right work boot.)

Customer: “Excuse me. What is the difference between this boot and this one? They both look exactly the same.”

Me: “One is waterproof and the other isn’t.”

Customer: “Ah, that explains the price difference. Well, is there a way I can get the non-waterproof boot, but in waterproof?”

Me: “Yes. You can purchase the one that is waterproof, which is directly above it.”

Customer: “I see, but I don’t want to pay that price. I just want this boot, except to have it waterproof.”

Me: “I’m sorry, sir… but this one isn’t waterproof. If you would like it waterproof, you can purchase the one above it.”

(I don’t know what else to say at this point.)

Customer: “That’s okay. I guess I’ll just keep looking around.”
