“Would you like a rain check, Sir?” asks the manager.

“What’s a rain check?”

“A rain check is when I fill out this piece of paper and you can bring it back. That way you get a sale item that’s of stock for the advertised price, even if it’s not on sale any more.”

“A rain check is for sale items?”

“Yes.”

“And is the unit price listed a sale price?”

“No, Sir.”

“Then it’s the regular price?”

“That’s correct.”

“So you won’t let me have the Sangria for $3.49, but you will give me a piece of paper which says I can come back any time and buy the other brand at the regular price when it’s in stock.”

“That’s correct, Sir.”

“Well what good does that do me?”

“What do you mean, Sir?”

“What do I need a piece of paper for that al-lows me to by a product at its regular price when it’s in stock? I can do that without a piece of paper.”
