Nonplussed Customers
Customer: “Something isn’t right with these two signs about the pears on sale. One says $1.00 for one pound, and the other says $10 for ten pounds. Which is it?”
Me: “Actually, ma’am, that’s the same thing.”
Customer: “Excuse me, but I actually went to college. I think I can do basic math.”
Me: “Let’s look at it this way. If it’s $1 for one pound, how much would three pounds be?”
Customer: “$3.”
Me: “Yep, and how much would five pounds be?”
Customer: “$5.”
Me: “Awesome. How much would ten pounds be?”
Customer: “$10.” *pause* “Those signs are misleading!” *storms off*
