@Oceanbreeze473 Let's say you own a business and your largest customer tells you that he wants a %50 discount on your products. You lose money if you agree.
You better find someone else to buy your products or you are DONE.
OK, we need a joke. You might need to be a boomer to get it.
A Viking was out shopping when he saw an old woman in a wheelchair crying.
"What's wrong?" asked the Viking.
"Well," the woman said, wiping her tears, "Iโve been living on my own for many months now. Today my daughter at last came to visit me and took me on this shopping trip & it's the first time I've been out & about since losing the use of my legs but itโs so disheartening.โ
"I'm very sorry to hear that," said the Viking. "But at least your daughter is here! That should help to dry your tears.โ
"Yes," said the old woman, "but I really wanted to get something to surprise my daughter while sheโs in a shop trying on clothes and with this wheelchair I can't get around like I used to. I was hoping to find an extra special cake or pie to celebrate their visit," she sobbed. "I can't even bake my classic egg and bacon tart anymore, and I know she always looks forward to that.โ
โYou're in luck then. That place over there is the finest bakery in the country!" said the Viking, pointing.
"So I hear," said the woman, "but the first floor is just breads and such. The fancy sweets and pies are all up on the second floor and I can't get up there with my chair."
The Viking thought for a moment and said, "Not a problem. I shall carry you!"
With that, he lifted her from her wheelchair, hoisted her onto his back and trudged into to the bakery.
After carrying her up the stairs and all about the display cases he helped her bring a selection of delicious treats to the counter. She even found her family favorite.
The Viking then carried the woman and her purchases back to her waiting chair below.
"I can't thank you enough! I'm so much happier now!" replied the old woman. "Who are you, kind sir?"
But the Viking simply smiled, waved and walked off without a reply.
As he turned the corner out of sight the woman's daughter appeared at the bakery entrance.
โThere you are, Mom!" she exclaimed with relief. "I was worried sick when you weren't where I left you. What have you been doing in there?"
"Oh!โ exclaimed the woman. "I've been through the desserts on a Norse with no name. It felt good to get our Quiche Lorraine.โ
