"It's Too Discouraging."

A woman came in and asked if we had a phone she could use. I said we didn't. She asked where the nearest one was. I directed her to the nearest pay phone.

A few minutes later she asked if we had a bathroom. We don't, and I told her were the nearest one was.

In both conversations, she seemed friendly.

After our second talk, she said to her kids, "We have to go; it's too discouraging." The kids were confused, so she explained: "No bathroom; no phone. We can't shop."

Ummm..... What was she planning on buying in the bathroom? And how does using our phone count as shopping??
