Customer: “So where’s the discount?”
Me: “We don’t have a Fourth of July discount on potato salad, I’m afraid.”
Customer: “It’s a holiday.”
Me: “We have a sale on hot dogs if that helps?”
Customer: “I don’t want hot dogs; I want potato salad. And I want the holiday price.”
Me: “We don’t really have a holiday price for—”
Customer: “Christmas stuff goes on sale at Christmas.”

She bought the potato salad. She should have been grateful we were open today to begin with!
