Your Dentist Will Have a Field Day with Your Kids.
Working at the convenience store, I sell a lot of candy on a daily basis. For the most part it's not so bad, though it can get kind of annoying when people ask for large amounts, like $3 worth for instance ($3 worth of candy at 6 cents a pop = a lot of candy), but today I had the king of all candy sales.
A customer came in wanting to know if I could sell him a box of gummi bears, explaining that his kids really liked them. I told him that I couldn't, as we sell candy by individual pieces here and I didn't have a box of them in the store. He decided to just buy a dollar's worth of them instead.
As I was bagging the candy a woman behind him told him that if he wanted a box of the bears he could go to the local grocery shop and get it there and that it would probably be cheaper than if he had purchased it here (which is true enough. Their prices on everything but cigarettes are cheaper than ours, and since we didn't offer whole boxes of candy for sale we weren't losing business here so I didn't care what she told him).
I can't remember what the customer said to her, but he left the store with his candy. I served her and was straightening up the cigarette display when not one minute later he re-entered the store and proceeded to buy an additional $6.50 worth of gummi bears.
I guess he decided that if I couldn't sell a box of bears to him he'd just buy all I had and get more or less a box's worth of them anyway. Amazingly enough, there were enough gummi bears to fill the order with some left over, though I'm surprised he didn't try to buy those as well.
Now, for those of you keeping track at home, he ended up buying around 150 gummi bears overall. I didn't have a fun time bagging it all, I can tell you that.
Why couldn't he have just gone to the grocery store? It would have been so much easier.
...oh wait. I'm using that pesky logic, aren't I? I forgot that's not allowed when dealing with SCs.
