The Change
A woman on a market stall sells you £6 of vegetables. You hand over a twenty and she counts out change for a fifty. She's slow with her hands and there's a queue behind you. You're already three steps away when you work out she's given you £30 too much. She looks like the stall is hers, not a company's.
Do you turn around?
Then ask
- Would you turn around if it were a self-checkout that had short-changed the shop?
- Where's the number at which you'd definitely go back?
- If you keep it, does the shape of your day change?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
