Pure English Mentality

Near our house there is an English supermarket, belonging to the largest chain of British supermarkets. We arrive there after eight or nine in the evening. Reductions begin at this time. Products dated by today's number are priced to the limit. I don’t know why, but at this time it’s as unpopular as always. On a special shelf lies food, preyed ten or more times, and only a rare old lady is interested in it.

What I will tell next is very difficult for a simple person to understand (I only understood this from the third time, and then not to the end): among the extortioned goods are products with the motto: "buy two - get one for free". That is, for example, two packs of bacon, each pound, together cost one pound. Until the assessment. Now imagine that they were valued up to ten pennies. Now for these two packages you pay ten pence, and one pound is returned to you! The account is down -1.00! yesterday
Romka went to the supermarket, picked up four bags of food, and the young English treasurer said a little crazy: "Sorry, I can't understand anything: we owe you 3 pounds... " “Well,” they say, “sorry, we can’t give you the money, so you’ll buy something for that amount.”

If you do not understand, read the previous paragraph again.
