The Orange Price

Summary

My best friend started a group chat to sell fruits.

Feeling sorry for her as a single mom, I often bought from her and even proactively introduced her to new customers.

One day, a new intern ordered ten pounds of oranges and directly transferred $19.90 in the group chat.

I was stunned and messaged her privately: "The oranges are $29 a box, you're $10 short."

The intern sent back a confused emoji.

And then she sent me screenshots of her previous purchases.

"Sis, I've always bought them for $19.90, how could it be $29?"

I was completely dumbfounded.
