They’re Not In The Upper Percentile, Part 3
I work at a money exchange facility. A girl approaches me in my office.
Customer: “How much is your service fee?”
Me: “Hello! Well, it depends on how much you are exchanging.”
Customer: “Yes, but how much is it?”
Me: “The maximum fee is 19.7%, but it depends on how much you want to exchange. How many dollars do you have?”
Customer: “No, I want to know in Euros how much it’s going to be.”
Me: “Ma’am, it’s a percentage, and it depends on the amount. It could be smaller, but you need to tell me how much you think to exchange”
Customer: *Patronizingly* “You don’t understand! Since it’s a percentage, how many Euros is it going to be?”
Me: “I’m sorry, no, I don’t understand. It’s a percentage; percentages depend on the total amount.”
Customer: “Yes, tell me how many Euros it will be on the total amount!!”
I just look puzzled.
Customer: “Never mind. I’ll ask somewhere else.”
Me: “Good luck!”
