Were Too Polite!

A woman who frequented a small antique shop rarely purchased anything,
but always found fault with the merchandise and the prices.

The manager and her assistant took the woman's grumpy complaints in stride, but one day she went too far.

"Why is it I never manage to get what I ask for in your shop?" 
Demanded the woman.

A smile on her face, the clerk calmly replied,
"Perhaps it's because we're too polite!"
