The snark was strong in me today

and it took all my willpower to resist it, and sometimes I failed.

On occasion, the things I'd normally keep in my little skull, just slipped out. Although only the polite versions.

I forget what the actual discussion was about, but one of my customers said to me, and I quote
'But if the bigger one is on offer, why do you even have the smaller one there! The bigger one is cheaper! Why is the smaller one there?'
And I responded
'Because we do'.
Apparently, according to my colleague, my facial expression as I said it was hilarious.

Well, at least it's not as bad as was going through my head.

Because people will buy a small one, even if it's a more expensive, simply because... dun dun DUN!!! WANT A SMALL ONE! Wow. What a concept!

[Sir Spaniard the 12th]

Don't I know it. Even when two large, say, drinks, is cheaper then two smaller drinks, people will still buy the smaller pair, 'because it's all they want'.

But.. wha...? It's not like we're forcing you to drink it all... You can drink how much you want, and toss (or hey! save) the rest for later....

I've been known to go to Timmies and buy a sandwich and coffee, and confound the server when I turn down the recommendation to get "the deal" (coffee, sandwich, donought) as that is cheaper than buying a coffee and sandwich separately.

The problem with "the deal" is that it comes with a donought. Which I cannot help but eat, not having the will power to throw it out once it is in my hand. And for some reason, asking for "the deal" and not actually taking the donought isn't allowed.

Throws off inventory, staff probably aren't allowed to accept it if offered.

'Because we do'.

I say something like that all the time.

"It is what it is. Price is X."

They can take it or leave it. If you want the small, get it.

I even had this occur in a supermarket, where the 1Kg pack was cheaper than the 500g pack. I pointed it out to the guy grabbing the 500g, but he looked at it for at least enough seconds to assimilate what I said, but then still decided to take the 500g pack...

I should have followed him to see if he had a scarey significant other.

One of the most common reasons not to buy the ridiculously cheap larger packet (seriously, with out glucosamine at the moment, 30 tablets are about £10, 60 tablets are £2 CHEAPER, is 'oh, I'm getting it for someone else, I'd better get exactly what they wanted'.
When I'm getting someone else something, and I see a bigger size pack for less oney, I'm going to get that, and figure they'll be happy they got more stuff and saved a litle money!

To me, when it comes to food, I will buy smaller even if its a little more expensive, like for candy.
as It's Me said, I lack the willpower. If food is infront of me, ill probly eat it. So instead of buying a big 1 dollar bag of candy, ill buy a 75 cent candy bar.
