What Should We Do about That?

　　I found a job at the Baskin-Robbin's ice-cream shop a week ago. One day when I came in to work, the manager(经理) said that something had happened after I left the day before. A woman wanted to have a half-gallon(半加仑) of ice-cream. The manager asked her to pay $ 5.40 for the cream.

　　The woman questioned the price. She said last time she had bought a half gallon, “Denise” had wanted only $ 2.70. That is right price of a quarter(四分之一加仑).
