A new sales assistant was hired at a large dept. store. On his first day, the sales manager took him around to show him the ropes. They were passing by the gardening section, when they heard a customer asking for grass seed. The sales manager stepped in and said, "Excuse me, but will you be needing a hose to water your lawn?" The customer replied, "I guess so. I'll take one." "And how about some fertilizer and weed-killer?" "Um, okay." "Here's a couple of bags. You'll also need a lawn mower to cut the grass when it starts growing too long." "I'll take one of those too." After the customer left, the sales manager turned to the assistant. "You see?" he said, "That's the way to make a good sale. Always sell more than what the customer originally came in for." Impressed, the assistant headed off for the pharmaceutical section, where he was to work. Soon, a man strolled in and asked, "I'd like to buy a pack of Tampax, please." "Sure, and would you like to buy a lawn mower too?" "Why would I want to do that?" "Well, your weekend's shot to hell anyway, so you might as well mow the lawn."
