This Story Starts Bad But Ends Up Golden

I work in a fancy stationery and gift shop. A customer picks up a beautifully designed planner and looks at the price.

Customer: “Wow, this much for a notebook? What’s it made of, unicorn skin?”

Me: “It’s made of high-quality paper stock and leather. Also, it’s a planner, not a notebook. It helps you keep track of your day, week, etc.”

Customer: “I could just use my phone.”

Me: “Yes, but this one doesn’t send you passive-aggressive guilt trips every day, reminding you that you haven’t closed an exercise ring yet.”

Customer: “…you have a point.”

Me: “And this one comes with stickers. Your phone ever reward you with gold stars?”

Customer: “Holy s***! Gold stars? Next time, lead with that!” *Buys one.*
