#비즈니스유머- 슈퍼마켓에서 A young man was walking through a supermarket when he noticed an old lady following him around. Finally, he went to the checkout line, but she got in front of him. She said, "I'm sorry, but you look just like my son who just died recently." "And what?" replied the young man. She said, "As I'm leaving, can you say 'Goodbye mother'? It would make me feel much better." "Sure," answered the young man. As the old woman was leaving, he called out, "Goodbye mother!" As he stepped up to the checkout counter, he saw that his total was $127.50. "How can that be?" he asked, "I only purchased a few things!” "Your mother said that you would pay for her," said the clerk. 한 젊은이가 슈퍼마켓에 갔다가 한 할머니가 따라 오는 것을 알아챘다. 젊은이가 계산대에 다가서자 그 할머니가 “미안해요, 최근에 죽은 내 아들 같아서 말이예요.” “그래서요?” 젊은이가 대꾸하자, 할머니는 “내가 나갈 때 ‘잘 가요 엄마’하고 말 좀 해 주겠어요? 그러면 기분이 훨씬 좋아질 것 같아요.” 젊은이는 “그러죠, 뭐”하고는 할머니가 떠나 갈 때 “잘 가세요 엄마!”하고 말해 줬다. 그가 계산대 앞에 다가서자 계산서에 127달러 50센트가 기록돼 있었다. “이게 뭐죠? 난 몇가지 물건 밖에 안 샀단 말예요!”하고 그가 항의하자 점원이 말하길, “당신 엄마가 당신이 전부 계산할 거라고 하던데요.”
