Lady: What's the difference between these two chairs?
Me: The color. One is black, the other is burgundy.
Lady: But this one is so much cheaper.
Me: That's because it's on clearance.
Lady: What's wrong with it?
Me: Nothing.
Lady: Then why is it cheaper?
Me: Because we are getting rid of that color.
Lady: But what's wrong with it?
Me: Nothing. We weren't selling very many of that color so we are going to stop carrying the burgundy.
Lady: Can I get the black one for that price?
Me: No.
Lady: Why not?
Me: Because only the burgundy one is on clearance.
Lady: But I want it in black.
Me: Then you pay full price.
Lady: Are you sure there is nothing wrong with the burgundy ones?
Me: Would you have bought the burgundy color if it was the same price as the black?
Lady: No.
Me: That's why we are getting rid of them.
