Show Breaking a Bad Habit. A customer had come to purchase a beef roast. Now, it seems that Bill used to have a most annoying habit (to the patrons) of bearing down with a heavy hand upon the scales. This bijh cost of living thing, and all that, were bad enough in all conscience, thought some of his patrons, but one of them finally broke Bill of this trick. As was stated, the customer was buying a beef roast and Bill slyly was helping out the work of the scales with one pudgy fist when, before a shopful of people the buyer said: "Take your hand off that scale, Bill. I'm buying beef, not pork." Since then no one has had to chide Bill for a similar act. Louisville Times. |
