Challenge
Write a short piece of any genre that shows the difference between want and need.
Retail
The irate buyer, adamant
Certain of her rights
Demanded the clerk
Call a manager
And allow her to complain
In person
Of the terrible service she was subjected to.
And the clerk
Dialed the number
Knowing neither the manager
Nor the customer
Really wanted to have the conversation
But needed to go through the motions
To justify their existence
As human beings not just economic forces.
And she needed the job to eat.
