A Tough Customer

A Tough Customer

Mrs. Rosenbaum was known for being a difficult customer at the local grocery store.

"Give me two pounds of oranges," she asked the saleswoman, "but I need you to wrap every orange up in separate pieces of paper."

"And three pounds of cherries, and wrap up every one in a separate piece of paper, too."

The saleswoman obliged.

"And what is that over there?" Mrs. Rosenbaum asked, pointing to a bushel in the corner.

"Those are raisins," said the saleswoman, "but they are not for sale."
