An awkward shopping experience
I saw this stylish leather pair of sandals on a stand in a little market. They were so vintage that immediately I liked them, but I didn't want to try them on the street in front of people, so I bought the sandals without thinking twice. Unfortunatelly, at home, once put on my feet they seemed a little bit tight. I tryed to wear them anyway, but they hurted me, at the same time, I knew It was impossible aks for an exchange in a street market. However I wanted to take a shot. I went back at the stand and the assistant has been very rude, what should I do with a used pair of sandals? He said, I certainly can't resell them to someone else. He was right, but I didn't want to give up, that's way I made a proposal he couldn't refuse: I'd have bought another pair of shoes for the half of their price and kept the sandals. It was a win win condition, eventually he was agree.

Unfortunately, at home, once I tried them on they seemed a little bit tight. I tried to wear them anyway but they hurt me. At the same time, I knew It was impossible to ask for an exchange* in a street market. However, I wanted to take a shot. I went back to the stand and the assistant was very rude; "what should I do with a used pair of sandals?" he said, "I certainly can't resell them to someone else". He was right,** but I didn't want to give up, so I made a proposal he couldn't refuse: I buy another pair of shoes for the half their usual price and I keep*** the sandals. It was a win-win. Eventually he agreed.*or, ask for a refund.
**or, wrong, or lying
***or, he keeps the sandals?
