A lady asks, " how much do you sell eggs? "
The old salesman replied: " 0.50 € an egg, ma'am
She said, "I'm gonna take 6 eggs for $ 2.50 or I'm going".
The old seller replied: " buy them at the price you want, ma'am. Maybe it's a good start for me because I couldn't sell a single egg today and I need this to live ".
She bought her her eggs at prices and left with the feeling she won.
She entered her elegant car and went to an elegant restaurant with her friend.
She and her friend ordered what they wanted. They ate a little and left a lot of what they asked for.
So they paid the check. It was 400 €. the ladies gave 500 € and asked the owner of the chic restaurant to keep the money as a tip...
This story might seem pretty normal to the owner of the luxury restaurant, but very unfair to the egg vendor...
The question is:
Why do we always need to show that we have power when we buy from the needy? And why are we generous with those who don't even need our generosity?
Once I read somewhere:
" my father used to buy goods from poor people at high prices, even if he didn't need them. Sometimes he paid them more. I was stunned and asked him why he does this? So my father replied: "it is a charity wrapped in dignity, my son"
