Summary

This quote sarcastically defines a "bargain" as anything a customer perceives to be priced so low that it must be causing a loss for the store. It suggests that customers often expect to find extremely discounted prices and view them as advantageous deals, even if it potentially means the store is incurring losses. The quote subtly criticizes the consumer mindset that focuses solely on personal gain, disregarding the impact it may have on the profitability of the store.
