Something just doesn't make sense, here

I got this mailer from Leslies.

If a one pound bag of "shock" is three bucks, how come a twelve pack is fifty? Who'd pay fourteen bucks for a cardboard box to carry the stuff home in?

Heh heh! Good question. I'd ask the 16 year-old running the counter and see what they say.

Hey Richard,

Did you not read the ad? It is 1 pound of QUALITY shock or 12 pounds of Shock. You really want the quality stuff, don't you?

Funny you should mention it. I went to Leslie's today to buy some calcium chloride dihydrate (aka "Hardness Plus"). The lady working the register appeared to be high out of her mind. Pupils dilated, tripping over herself, took nearly 10 minutes to ring me up at the register. At one point she closed her eyes and started zoning out for a solid 30 seconds until I asked her if she was okay. Next time I go (if there is a next time), I'll ask if she's in charge of marketing as well.

But seriously, I'm on the fence about what to do with the survey on my receipt.
