Can’t Muscle Her Way Into This Argument
(I grew up on a small-scale farm, and right after college, I take a job as a clerk in a butcher shop. A woman comes in one day and starts giving one of my coworkers a hard time about the size of the pork chops. He comes to me asking for a hand, and I ask her what the problem is.)
Customer: “Your pork chops are too small; I need bigger ones.”
Me: “Certainly, ma’am. I’ll go talk to the butcher in the back and we can cut them thicker—”
Customer: “No, not thicker, I want them bigger.”
Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, but they don’t come any bigger than this. This is the largest you’ll find at any store.”
Customer: “Well, I got them bigger at [Other Store].”
Me: “Ma’am, I raise pigs. The muscle in a market-sized pig does not come larger than what we have presented here.”
(She bought six chops.)
