Last week, I was delivering sodas to a store. A customer had grabbed a bag of chips which was priced with a big red sticker at 99 cents, and asked the store clerk, "Hey, are these 50 cents?"
Slightly taken aback, the clerk politely hesitated, "...Um, no. They're 99 cents."
I thought to myself, OK, so maybe this guy is illiterate. Not everyone can read. My doubt was soon confirmed as unfounded, however.
"...Oh," the man moaned, and after a two-second pause, pressed, "Are you sure these aren't 50 cents?"
Yeah, maybe they were, dude, in 1996!!!
