You Always Pay For Convenience
Author: siggyYou always pay for convenience. I was at a check out counter in the local supermarket and the woman in back of me noticed I had two bags of fresh cranberries. She asked me, “Are they hard to make (referring to the sauce)?” And I quickly told her, “You just add a cup of sugar and water for each bag and heat and stir a bit. I said, “they taste great” and repeated “they really are not hard to make”. The cashier then popped up and said “I am a ‘can’ person”. My argument for making fresh cranberry sauce had no effect on the customer in back of me. She said, “I am still going to buy the can. It is so much easier to open the can and pour it out.” I just shrugged my shoulders and left the store. I am well aware of the price of convenience: It costs more and often does not taste as good.
