It was a busy Tuesday afternoon at the local pharmacy, and Chloe, a well-meaning but famously naive blonde, was on a mission. Determined to be responsible and practice safe sex amidst all the scary health headlines she’d been reading, she marched down the family planning aisle, grabbed a basic pack of condoms, and walked up to the checkout counter.
The bored teenage cashier scanned the box without looking up. “That will be $1.08, please,” he mumbled, holding out his hand for the cash.
Chloe paused, digging into her purse. She pulled out the box and squinted at the price sticker on the back. “Excuse me,” she said politely, tapping the label. “But it says exactly one dollar right here on the packaging. What’s the extra 8 cents for?”
The cashier sighed, popped his chewing gum, and pointed a lazy finger at the digital register screen. “Tax,” he replied flatly.
Chloe’s eyes instantly widened in sheer, unadulterated horror. She stared at the box, then looked back at the cashier with a deeply concerned expression, and said:
“Gee… I thought you just rolled them on and they stayed put!”
