Stopped at the local farmers market today for some fresh vegetables. It was late in the day and the vendors were closing up.
Saw some nice looking peaches and stopped to get some. They were $8 bucks for a tray of eight. A little pricey perhaps, but they were pretty nice. I asked the young guy behind the counter if I could buy four. He said he didn't have a scale and wouldn't know how much to charge me. I looked at the peaches, the price on the sign, and then at the guy. It didn't seem like hard math to me.
All the while, another guy behind him was dumping peaches from the trays into a crate so they could be loaded back on the truck.
I don't know, maybe he just couldn't bring himself to break up the set. I could sympathize. So I let him keep all eight.
