| The female clerk asked, "Do you have the card?" @The guy responded, "What card?" The clerk realizing he didn't know about the cards said, "Oh, sorry. We have created a point card system. You can reserve points according to your purchases. Would you like to sign up?" The guy replied, "No, thank you. I might not come back to this shop again." The clerk asked, "How about another card?" The man asked, "What do you mean by 'another card'?" The clerk explained about this second option, "Oh, sorry. If you have this card you can use it in various shops including our shop of course; you can use it for train tickets, at gas stations, restaurants, book stores, etc, etc." The guy said curtly, "No thank you, again.

The man got angry, "What are you talking about? I've never heard that a card company doesn't accept a loan." The clerk said regretfully, "I heard that because of an increasing amount of bankrupt customers, they changed their policy recently." The guy said in a disgusted voice, "Ok, ok.
