Customer:And why is it double the price of the one in the shopping centre?

Assistant:Because it's made in small quantities and the people who make it are paid properly.

Customer:Fair enough. Can it be returned if it doesn't fit?

Assistant:Of course. And it's repaired free for two years. If it's bought today, you also get ten per cent off.
