Damn It! Day Ruined!

Customer chooses a stack of SNES games to buy, and places them on the counter.

“I’ll give $40 for all these games.”

“Sir, one of those games alone is priced at $40. The stack is priced at… (count)… $178.”

“Make me a deal.”

“Why? “

“Because they are old games.”

“True, but you’ve chosen the rare and good ones. If you want a deal, might I suggest you take a look at the ones that are priced less? “

“I don’t want those!”

“That’s why they are $5 to $10 each. They aren’t as sought after.”

“Fine! Be that way. Can I rent them?”

“Sure. Fine. I don’t care. “

“I’ll take these four, and pay for them in the first week in May.”

“That’s not how I thought renting worked. Namely, you pay a price per day per game. I was thinking a $1 per day, or $5 for a week. “

“I want to buy them, but I’ll pay for them next month.”

“Very well. I’ll hold them for you.”

“You don’t understand, I want the games now! I want to play them!” (now he’s getting pretty angry).

“Uh-huh… Then buy them now, or pay now to rent them. It’s how things are done. “

Then he storms out and hits the door on the way out.
