When It Comes To Pricing, Their Values Shrimp Away

I work at the seafood counter.

Customer: “This is crap! Look at this! This is disgraceful!”

Me: “Um… I’m sorry?”

Customer: “Look at all this farm-raised shrimp! Imported from Asia! This company should be ashamed of itself. What about wild-caught local shrimp? This is disgusting!”

Even though the farm-raised shrimp is from further away, it is cheaper at $6.99 a pound.

Me: “I have wild-caught shrimp right here. It’s wild-caught from Georgia. I know it’s not too local, but this is fresh and wild-caught.”

Customer: *After a few seconds* “I’ll take a pound of the $6.99 shrimp.”
