This is a story about textbooks.
One day, on a day like yesterday, a student went to the campus bookstore to get her books for history class. She did not know what books were required. Otherwise she would have ordered them online from the comfort of her home.
A nice employee at the bookstore helped her find the books.
And she bought them for $75, carried them to her car, and gently drove them home.
The student, now in possession of helpful ISBN numbers, found these books online and started to laugh.
"Silly me!" she said. "I could have gotten those books for half the price."
The student smiled and shook her head sadly at the textbooks. "Nothing against you," she said.
The next day, the student returned to the bookstore with a crinkly bag of textbooks in hand.
"I'd like to return these," she said to another nice bookstore employee. "I found a better price."
"We can do price matching," said the employee.
The student smiled apologetically and explained that she had already ordered the textbooks.
Then the nice employee gave her $75 dollars.
The student left campus, went to the mall, and bought a $75 blender with the capability to liquefy orange peel.
It was a good day!
