true customer tales

gal comes up with an Emily Dickinson book.

"Is there any way I can get this for less?"

I check the price, six bucks.

"It'll sell for that, so sorry."

"Well, here's my argument..." *rummages around in handbag, comes out with a Barnes & Noble remainder knock-off of the same title* "...I bought this one from Barnes & Noble for six dollars, but I'm taking it back because they took out the hyphens."

"I guess the question is whether you think hyphens are worth six bucks."


She did.
