That's SMART!

The groupies came over for our usual BS on Thursday. As usual, Uncle Francis entertained us with his stories. I must admit, his stories are always rather interesting and he's funny to watch as his eyes sparkled with a strong hint of cheekiness as he relates his stories. He always gets a captive audience when he speaks.

This time, the story is about his wife and her short encounter at work in the bakery shop.

He proudly exclaimed: Now I know how does the bakery shop go about selling their leftover bread off first. You know how?

I listened wide eyes like a child.

" Well, they tagged the price of those old bread. $1.40 or what lah, on the bread. Those that are new batch ones, they don't label."

How come leh, I asked.

" Well, when you buy hor, you will look for those with price label to pay right, i mean, you won't know the price and most likely will choose one with the price to avoid confusion or asking at the counter. If you ask, they will say, take the one with the price tag lah... so this is how the older batch of bread got sold first....

Now isnt' that smart!!! I mean does anyone of you know that???

The next time, i am going to buy the one without the price tag no matter what they say!!!
