The Blue Notebook at Night

At eight o’clock on Wednesday evening, I am in the stationery department of a department store.
I look at a white notebook and a blue notebook and ask a clerk, “Which one is cheaper?”
The clerk says, “The blue notebook is cheaper than the white notebook.”
I ask, “May I pay by card?”
The clerk says, “I am sorry, you cannot use a card at this store.”
But I have money in my wallet, so I buy the blue notebook.
