Sales Past Breaking Point, Part 2

We were walking around Athens’s shopping district, popping by all sorts of tourist shops that sold postcards, decorative mugs, and other knickknacks. I came across this little shop selling chess sets, and I noticed some metal cast chess pieces that looked very nice. I’ve always wanted a set like that, so I went in.

The pieces were made in “Alexander vs. Persians” style and weren’t too pricey, but I wasn’t quite sure about the level of quality.

Me: “Are these sturdy? Do they break easily?”

Shop Owner: “Here, I’ll show you.”

The owner took a piece off the shelf and threw it down HARD onto the stone tile floor. Then he picked up the piece and gave it to me. It didn’t have a scratch on it.

Me: “I’ll take it!”

Now that’s quality testing!
