An "Old Lady" and Her Bananas

"Mr. Phillips was just getting ready to leave his office and he remembered that his wife had asked him to bring 1KG of Bananas. When He stepped out, he saw an ill-looking old lady across the road. She was selling fresh bananas on the street. Mr. Phillips usually buys bananas from a grocery shop few blocks away from his office but since he was in hurry to reach home today, he thought about buying them from across the road only.

"He went to the old lady and asked her the price. She quoted $7 per 1KG. He told, 'But the store where I usually buy from gives them for $5 per 1KG, can you not give me for the same price?' The Old Lady told, 'No Sir, I can not afford to match that price. I can sell them to you at $6 per 1KG. That's best I can afford to give you for.' Mr. Phillips told her, 'never mind'. He left in his car towards the usual grocery shop."
