Me: “Hey there, can I help you out?”
Customer: “Were these products on Oprah?”
Me: “Yes, they’ve been featured.”
Customer: “Celebrities use them, right? So they must be really expensive…like $500 a pop or something, right?”
Me: “No, not at all. This one here only costs $40 before tax, and none of the products exceed $150.”
Customer: “So, when the celebrities buy them, they only cost $40?”
Me: “Yes.”
Customer: “And when regular people buy them, they only cost $40?”
Me: “Yes.”
(A moment of silence passes as the customer glares at me.)
Customer: “COMMUNIST!”
