We only one had one red microwave.
"Are there any more microwaves?" a customer asked. "And if not can you sell me that one? Can you sell me the display?"
"Um, no Miss, it doesn't work," I said.
"Yes it does." Strangely her well thought out counterargument did not win her this debate as I explained to her that the red microwave was a display model and did not even have a cord for plugging it in.
"Well, do you have any other red ones in the back?"
"No miss," I said. "Everything we have to sell is on this shelf."
"Right but do you have a red microwave in any of these other brands," she gestured to the whole shelf of microwaves, containing no displays or boxes, or empty spaces with a label announcing the presence of a red microwave.
"No Miss, I'm sorry. This brand here is the only one we carry that comes in red. We don't have (I started pointing to each unique brand on the shelf) this one red, or this one in red, or that one red. You would have to order it online."
"But I need one tonight."
Well that changes everything. Let me get the nanobots on that.
