To find a dish companion for my dinner, I went to a nearby grocery store and picked up a medium-sized organic white onion. It must be organic, everything I consume must be organic, no matter how costly it is.
At the checkout, I was told to pay $2.79.
Having paid with my credit card, I walked out of the grocery store. As I walked, it was haunting my mind that why this damn onion was so expensive, almost $3 for such a tiny one, much more expensive than in New York City.
It suddenly crossed my mind that the price tag reads $2.49 per pound. This small onion could not be over one pound.
The cashier must have made a mistake. I checked the receipt, and it reads $3.99 per pound, 0.70 pounds.
I went back into the grocery store, and directed my first jab at the cashier: "You did the wrong math!".
He looked embarrassed and immediately called the manager. The manager arrived shortly.
He spent a while punching on the cash register panel and finally told me, "I am sorry, we need to refund you twenty-one cents."
I directed my second jab, "That is still not correct. This onion is $2.49 per pound, you should refund me more."
The manager reweighed the onion, which turned out to be 0.69 pounds, and said, "You should be refunded $1.01." I thought, "That makes sense.". Eventually, the onion ended up costing me $1.74.
I have developed a habit of mentally calculating and verifying the total when I shop. Many stores have a nasty habit of overcharging customers. I have caught them overcharging me numerous times.
I went to a nearby grocery store to get an Onion for dinner. Among piles of them, I selected a medium-sized white organic onion. It has to be organic, because everything I consume must be organic, no matter how costly it is.
At the checkout, I was told to pay $2.79.
Having paid with my credit card, I walked out of the grocery store. On my way home, however, I kept wondering why this damn onion was so expensive,which cost me almost $3 for such a tiny piece and was much more expensive than in the New York City.
It suddenly crossed my mind that the price tag reads $2.49 per pound, and rhis small onion could not possibly weigh over one pound.
The damn cashier must have made a mistake. So I took out and checked the receipt, which showed it to be $3.99 per pound and 0.70 pounds.
I felt cheated and enraged, turning around and back to the grocery store. I directed my first jab at the cashier: "You did the wrong math!".
He looked shocked and maybe embarrassed as he should be, and immediately called his manager over. The manager arrived shortly.
He spent a while punching on the cash register and finally told me, "I am sorry, we need to refund you twenty-one cents."
I directed my second jab, "That is still not correct. This onion is $2.49 per pound, you should refund me more."
The manager had the onion weighed again, which turned out to be 0.69 pounds, and said, "we refund you $1.01."
I thought to myself satificatorily, "That makes sense now.". So, the onion ended up costing me $1.74.
I have developed a habit of mentally calculating and verifying the total when I shop. My experience made me believe that many stores have a nasty habit of overcharging customers.
I have caught them overcharging me numerous times.
I am the smartest. I am even smarter than 得瑟一下，although he went to college when he was 15.
