Caution!! When buying fruits or flowers from petty vendors

This is especially for boys...Yesterday i was asked to buy half dozen banana for saraswathi pooja. I saw a lady selling banana at the chromepet station... I enquired her, " How much does this banana costs? " She said " half dozen 10 Rs sir" ...I gave her 10Rs and asked to give 6 bananas from a particular set...She promptly agreed and put the fruit in a polythene cover and gave me...On seeing it, i found the fruits were damaged... I asked her to replace the fruits with another one... To my surprise,She said " once,sold we will not take back the fruits" ...I replied "Ok, give me back my money,I will buy it some where"...You could easily guess what her reply would have been...
After a long argument with her, i finally made her to give me a new set of 6 bananas, only to find myself,cheated will still more worse fruits...When i told my mom about the incident she explained me that...

" These vendors tend to cheat male people! Never give the money before examining the fruits or flowers...If you give the money before getting the item..you are more liable to be cheated..."

This is the lesson, i learnt yesterday....Never give the money before you receive the goods....
