Nickel For A Penny

We sell loose single penny washers for 5¢.

Customer: “This item is perfect but that’s a lot. If I go to [Different Store] I can buy a box and they’re only 3¢ a piece.”

Me: “Okay, sounds good.”

Customer: “But I only need one.”

Me: “Right so it’s a little bit more since here since they’re sold individually.”

We’re talking about a nickel. Finally, after going back and forth too many times he throws up his hands and says:

Customer: “I’ve got quarters at home. I’ll just drill holes in those.”

Me: “Ruin something worth 25¢ in order to not pay a nickel? Sounds good!”
