It was early afternoon. I had a hankering for Dollar Store fun. So I wandered on in and was lucky enough to observe this priceless conversation...
The price tag says these pens are 2 for $1.
Yes, they are.
The customer seemed confused. The clerk valiantly tried to help him...
But this is the Dollar Store. Everything is supposed to be $1.
Well, those are 2 for $1.
Fortunately, the clerk came up with a brilliant solution...
I can't buy these. They contradict the entire paradigm of this place!
How about you give me $1 for each pen. The paradigm holds and I get a tip.
