he got his $.25 back...

so I was in TCBY this afternoon to pick up dessert for tonight. and while I was standing there the manager was having a discussion with a customer.

the customer was adult male, maybe 45-50 years old. he'd ordered a child-sized yogurt with sprinkles. after he'd paid for his yogurt, he asked the manager "just how much are the toppings anyhow?"

"$.65," she told him, "it's been that price for years."

"but it's not posted on the menu," he said. "and it's not fair to charge the same to put topping on a small yogurt as it is to put it on a large yogurt. I want you to refund the money I paid for the sprinkles."

"I can't do that, sir, but I can give you back $.25."

"fine, I'll take it." and she handed him a quarter.

I wanted so badly to tell him to put the quarter into United Cerebral Palsy donation box on the counter.

People are SO cheap! Geesh it was a QUARTER for crying out loud! Now if it were a couple bucks? OK, but a QUARTER?

......but another way to look at it is the multi-million dollar company is making a bundle charging the same price for a smaller amount of toppings as they do for a larger amount. Just think how much they can make over time doing that.
So.........the customer may be cheap..........but the company is also being unfair. It is all how you choose to look at it.............

but frankly, if it were an issue for me, I'd ask about the price of the topping BEFORE I ordered it.
