11-BOB DRIVES A HARD BARGAIN
Carol from the Village Market calls Bob
to discuss Susan's Scrumptious Cookies.
Carol and Bob discuss how much Bob
will receive for each cookie.
Carol: Hi Bob. How's it going?
Bob: Fine thanks, Carol. How are you?
Carol: Can't complain.
Bob, I've had a chance to crunch some numbers.
I can pay you 50c per cookie.
Bob: That's out of the question.
At that price, it's not worth our while.
The ingredients alone cost us 30c per cookie.
Carol: Okay, let me sweeten the deal — 60c per cookie?
Bob: Carol, my wife and I need to make a living from this business.
Carol: Okay, okay, you've twisted my arm. I'll pay you 75c per cookie.
Take it or leave it!
Bob: Now you're talking! We'll take it.
Carol: You drive a hard bargain, Bob.
Bob: Yes, but we make a good cookie.
Carol: Let's get the ball rolling.
Bring me 2, 000 cookies on Monday morning by 9 a.m.
