Customer Regrets Asking For The Exact Amount Of Snacks

When OP was a teenager, he worked at his uncle’s sweets shop to earn a PS3. The shop sold mini-samosas by weight, and one day, a regular customer, Mr. Karan, demanded to know how many samosas were in a 500-gms pack. OP confidently replied “56” since he packed them. Mr. Karan accused him of cheating and asked for individual samosas weighing 500 grams. With his uncle’s approval, OP cleverly adjusted the weight. Mr. Karan asked the new count, and OP triumphantly said “48”. Later, it was revealed that the samosas had slightly more filling, causing the weight difference. Mr. Karan left sheepishly, respecting the specially prepared package.

The uncle sold mini-samosas, a smaller version of regular samosas, in his shop, packaged in 250gms and 500gms packs, with 28 and 56 pieces respectively.

Amidst frequent power cuts and the absence of fans or AC, the uncle and OP endured a sweltering afternoon at the shop, causing tensions to rise.

Amidst the heated situation, OP, Mr. Karan, a regular customer, entered the shop and expressed his anger, questioning the number of samosas in a 500gm pack.

In a heated confrontation, Mr. Karan angrily accused the narrator of trying to cheat him, demanding a pack of 500gms of mini-samosas individually counted, leading to a tense situation.

Observing his uncle’s approval, the narrator eagerly agreed to Mr. Karan’s request with a big smile.

With precision and determination, the narrator skillfully adjusted the weight of the samosas to exactly 500 grams to meet Mr. Karan’s demand while maintaining eye contact.

Undeterred by the powdered samosa, Mr. Karan asked the new count, and the narrator proudly replied, “48” with a sense of triumph.

Mr. Karan discovered that the new chef made slightly heavier samosas, leading to a significant weight difference in mass orders, shedding light on an issue that had gone unnoticed until then.

After comparing the pre-packed samosas to his own package, Mr. Karan asked to buy the pre-packed ones, OP’s uncle insisted he purchases the specially made package as per Mr. Karan’s own request.

After the incident, Mr. Karan left silently, and his behavior improved on future visits, leaving a lasting impression on OP who recalled this story when his PS3 stopped working.

It also serves as a reminder that even seemingly minor details can have significant impacts on business relationships and customer satisfaction. The use of humor and clever tactics adds charm to the narrative while reinforcing the underlying values of honesty and ethical conduct in business dealings.
