Counter-fun

Today at my local supermarket I saw something pretty amazing. The woman in front of me at the counter was gonna have to pay 286 SEK (~41.9 USD) for the few goods she had picked. She looked at the clerk with a face that seemed to say “you are ripping me off, bitch” while handing over a coupon. The clerk immediately gave the coupon back to the woman since it wasn’t signed. After some muttering the woman signed it and handed it over to the clerk again. But of course, the clerk couldn’t get the coupon to register in the machine and after what seemed like a few hundred tries, the clerk just put the numbers on the coupon in manually.
The woman smiled in victory once the coupon registered and the total went down to 283 SEK (~41.5 USD). She then realizes that she has forgotten something and asks for 2 packages of cigarettes. The total goes up to 393 SEK (~57.6 USD). The woman walks away smiling.

There’s a moral here. You try to find it.

Correct Answer: The store charges way too much for cigarettes.
