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 reveive 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 50 cents per cookie. 

Bob: That's out of the question. At that price, it's not worth our while. The ingredients alone cost us 30 cents per cookie. 

Carol: Okay, let me sweeten the deal 60 cents per cookie? 

Bob: Carol, my wife and I need to make a living from this business. 

Carol: Okay, okay, you've twisted my arm. 1'11 pay you 75 cents 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.
