Sebastian: Excuse me. I see that you
have a special deal where
if a customer finds a cheaper
price at a different store,
you will give him the same
deal. Is that right?
Salesperson: That’s right. Do you have a
newspaper ad?
Sebastian: Yes. It says right here that
at Puente Market, bananas are
ninety-two cents a pound. Here
at Food City, they are
ninety-eight cents.
Salesperson: That looks right. We will give
you the deal.
Sebastian: Here are more examples. Puente
Market is always cheaper.
Salesperson: Let’s see. You’re right. Oranges
at Puente Market are $2.20 a
pound and at Food City, they
cost $2.39 a pound. Pears at
Puente Market are $1.29 a pound.
Here at Food City, they are $1.39.
Sebastian: Look at this! Apples are $2.00 at
Food City and only $1.49 at
Puente Market.
Salesperson: Wow. It looks like we need to
change a lot of prices!
