In the Market


I got nothing to do right now and I was so hungry. But I couldn’t eat because I was not supposed to eat. I’m a moslem and I have to fast for one month. So I decided to go to the market near cyberia to buy some ingredients so I could cook for dinner. I when I arrived, I saw that there were many people there. Since it was a small store, it would be difficult for me to buy all the ingredients because it was too crowded. But fortunately, I managed to buy all the ingredients I need such as meat, sausage, water and some spices. Then I went to the cashier to pay all the ingredients. But the queue was so long. I had to wait for about ten minutes until my turn. After waiting for ten minutes, all I had left in front of me was a woman. She asked about the drink that she was going to buy and wants to know if it tasted good. i thought there was no point for her to ask the cashier because he would say that the drinks was good to make the woman bought the drinks. As I thought, he said that, ”every person who visit this store likes it. You’re a person who visit this store. So, you will like it”. A very good persuasion, I thought. Even that it was wrong and weak, the argument was valid. And the most amazing was, that woman really fell for the cashier and bought the drinks. What a smart cashier. He used two premises to give the conclusion that the drinks was good. After that woman paid for her drinks, I paid my ingredients and heading back to my apartment.
