Despite Meg's rage, she still refused to cause a scene. "Fine! We're not buying now, alright?!"

However, seeing her ready to leave somehow led the butcher to believe that she could be bullied. "No way! I've already cut the meat-I have to eat it if you don't buy it!"

"You're just screwing with me, aren't you?!"

Meg bellowed furiously. "I asked for five, but you insisted on giving me six and even charged me way above the standard price! It's also one pound less than you claim, and even then, you insisted on me paying you anyway! Whoever gave you that confidence?!"

The butcher simply laughed. "Cut the crap already. You're either paying or you aren't leaving!"

Then, he turned to yell out loud, "Everyone, gather round! Check out this woman —she can't even afford beef, but look at her getup! She clearly just came to flex on us! Help me out here, everyone!"

Many customers were immediately gathering around them, pointing and gesturing at Meg, which left her even more furious. "Don't listen to him! He's inflating the price and selling me short!"

"Bullshit!" the butcher spat. "Do you have proof?!"
