“Wait, layaway ends on the 14th?” A mother
looking to purchase a WiiU asked.
“Yes. You have to have it paid off by the 14th.
We empty our trailers on the 15th and everything goes back onto the
floor.
“That’s not fair. You’ve only had layaway for a short
while.” It’s been available since September. But she’s right, in the 14 billion
years since the universe existed, September is just a short while. “How much do
I have to put down to put this on layaway?”
“10%”
“It costs $300. How much is 10% of that? I’m not a math
genius.”
Is that all it takes to be a genius? I’m totally taking up
that moniker.
“$30” I answered.
“There’s no way I’ll be able to pay it off by then. My
husband is a contractor, so we only get money when someone contracts him, you
know? Can’t you make an exception for me? I really want to get a WiiU for my
son.” She said, hugging her son.
Sure, just let me relay this sentimental message to the
computer. They totally care about stuff like this.
