The Cup Is Definitely Half Empty
(A woman and her twelve year-old son are buying hockey equipment.)
Me: “Okay, you’ll also need a cup and supporter for him.”
Customer: “How do I know what size he needs?”
Me: “The supporter is based on his waist size. Do you know his waist size?”
Customer: “Yes, but how do I know what size the cup should be for him?”
Me: “Well, you’d know better than me! I’d recommend the teen size.”
Customer: “No. If he’s anything like his father, he’ll need an extra-small.”
