This Is Why You Have To Do Your Own Shopping

I needed a few 16-GB flash drives to share data with a client’s customers. The client offered to buy them for me while out running errands, and she called me from the store.

Client: “They’ve got some with a keychain loop on them. Is that what you want?”

Me: “Sure, that’s fine.”

Client: “Oh! Wait, I found others. I’ll bring those.”

Me: “Okay, as long as they say, ‘16 GB.’ It’s okay if they have a higher number, but I need at least 16 gigabytes.”

Client: “Yeah, it’s bigger than 16. Gotta go. I’m in line!”

When she dropped them off, I noticed that the bags were MUCH larger than they had to be. She’d bought two 1-TB hard drives, and both came with a free 16-GB flash drive as a bonus.

Me: “Um, these may be a bit much. I can’t give these to the customers. The little one is fine, but I don’t need the big one.”

Client: “But look! You get four for the price of two!”

Me: “Well, we only need two for the price of two.”
