After admiring her two friends chickens and seeing their special bond with them a girl decides to take the plunge and stops by the feed store and buys herself 6 chicks.
After getting them all set up in their brooder she excitedly calls her friends to come over and see. The friends show up and after a bit of oohing and ahhing the subject of chicken math comes up. The girl had never heard this term so the friends quickly go into details. Well sometimes you end up with an unwanted cockerel, etc etc etc.
The girl had not taken any of these senerios into thought before her purchase. The friends being ever supportive suggests maybe she should go buy just a couple more. The girl loves the idea but says the store has a 6 chick purchase minimum and she better not get 6 more. She thinks for a moment and says I just want like 2 more but there's 3 of us and 3 Xs 2 each is 6. It's perfect.
Not wanting to disagree the friends happily decide its new chicks for each and off they go. Once at the store the girls are having trouble deciding just which 2 chicks each should get. The excuses start coming.... what if we only get 2 each and something happens to 1? We wouldn't want to have a lone chick. Ok that settles it, we should each get 3.
The girls finally decide on which chicks they want and the employee puts the 9 chicks in a box and carries them to the register. The cashier rings them up. That's 9 chicks at $3 per chick. After tax that comes to an even $30. Each girl puts in $10 and they hurry off to get their 6 chicks that turned into 9 chicks home.
As they rush out of the store the cashier realizes that she forgot to give them the $5 discount for spending over $20. She pulls 5 one dollar bills from the register and asks the other employee to hurry out to the parking lot and catch them before they're gone.
The employee takes the money and heads out the door a bit angry that after dealing with these girls that couldn't make up their minds on which 9 chicks they wanted that now he has to run and chase them down.
As he finds them backing out on the other side of the parking lot he decides he needs a little something for his troubles and quickly shoves $2 into his pocket. He stops the girls and hands them the remaining $3 dollars explaining they were overcharged. The 3 girls each take $1.
So each girl put in $10 then each girl got $1 back now equaling $9 per girl. $9 X 3 = $27 + the $2 the employee stole comes to $29. Where's the other $1?
