When I was going to do this experiment the person that was going to accompany me was my younger brother, but I went with my sister instead since he was unable to go. But she did not participate. The first place I went to was Modell’s and I was going to buy a pair of batting gloves. The gloves cost $24.99, and when I went to the cashier I volunteered to pay $30 for it. There was only one cashier at the time and two other people behind me.
