HE: "But I want that compressed air tank! It's identical to the one I borrowed from my boss and lost. He might not notice it's brand new, but if he does he's going to know that I went out of my way to replace it with an identical one."

SHE: "Sorry, Sir but we have a policy to protect you from excessive shipping costs, and that's the reason we won't ship to Alaska."

HE: "How much is the shipping on that tank?"

SHE: "It's too much. You won't want to pay for the shipping."

HE: "I'll pay the shipping. How much is it?"

SHE: "I told you, Sir. It's too much."

HE: "Look, if I'm willing to buy that tank AND pay the shipping on it, however much that is. Why won't you sell it to me and ship it to me?"

SHE: "Company policy, Sir. We're protecting you from yourself. Otherwise you would incur excessive shipping costs, and you'd blame us for it."

He: "I won't blame anyone. I'm willing to buy that tank and pay the goddam shipping costs on it whatever they are. Why can't we do this?"

SHE: "It's the company policy. Someone has to protect you from making poor decisions like that."

HE: "Can I speak to your supervisor?"

SHE: "No Sir. It's for your own good, Sir. We're protecting you from your own poor judgement."

HE: "Let me talk to your goddam supervisor."

SHE: "No Sir. Some day you'll thank me."
