My Favorite Deli & Grocery

I was hungry but short on funds so I went to the corner convenience store.  There were bundles of bananas on the counter.


Me: Hello.


Clerk: How-may-I-help-you?


Me: Is it possible to get one banana?


Clerk: For-you, anything-is-possible.


Me: OK. How much will that be?


Clerk: For-you, twenty-five-cents.


Me: Twenty-five cents? THANKS!


Clerk: Anytime. Please-come-back-again.


Me: I will!


That clerk made my day!


I stepped outside and looked up to see the store's name: My Favorite Deli & Grocery. Yep.
