I lost my pair of sunglasses the other day. I was really attached to them and wanted to buy the exact same make again. Over the weekend while walking through the shopping mall I encountered three or four shops that stocked what I was looking for. I inquired at each of them and finally bought a pair from the second store I visited because of the friendly (Bondi Beach) sales assistant.
Should the first store I inquired at be credited for the sale?
No of course not, not in this universe anyway. :exclamati
