Generosity Which Knows No Bounds
(We are having a toy drive. If you buy and donate any $5 toy, you can receive 20% off your entire purchase. A woman wearing a fur coat is buying five bags of toys.)
Me: “Ma’am, would you be interested in donating a toy today? Since your total comes to $400, you’d save $80–”
Customer: *angrily* “My husband and I donate to CHARITY, so I don’t think I need to be guilt-tripped into your awful little toy drive!”
Me: “Your total is $400, then.”
Customer: “Is there any way I can get a discount?”
Me: “No… No, I’m afraid not.”
