"Buy One, Get One Free?" There is No Such Thing!
I went to the store recently to buy some blueberries among other things. I wanted only one box of blueberries because if I purchased two, the second box would spoil before I ate them. I brought the one box to checkout to see whether I could buy it for half the stated price. The clerk said I could not, the price in her register was for two boxes. So I left the blueberries with her. The net result was that the store lost a sale and I had to find another source of blueberries.
