She Is A Lettuce Leaf On The Wind, Watch Her Roar
A customer is short three cents on a “spend over $5 and get 10% off” deal.
Customer: “Ugh! Just apply the deal!”
Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, but I can’t. Maybe you could buy a pack of gum? They’re fifty cents, so your total would be $5.47, and with the 10% discount, your total would be $4.92. You’d be spending five cents less and get an extra pack of gum!”
Customer: “No! That’s a stupid idea!”
Instead, she ran over to the produce aisle, grabbed a leaf of lettuce, weighed it, and purchased it at the per-pound rate to hit exactly three cents. She walked off with a smug smile, leaving the single lettuce leaf behind.
