Milk
Government guy walks into shop to buy milk.
Gov: "I'd like some milk please"
Shopkeeper hands over a pint of milk.
Gov: "no no, this won't do. I'm fed up with buying milk by the pint. I always end up wasting some of it. What I want is to buy milk in 1/2 pint units"
Shopkeeper: "but nobody sells in 1/2 pint units. To do that I will have to repackage the milk, work out the pricing and that will cost me money"
Gov: "Yes but it will be less wasteful"
Shopkeeper disappears out the back of the shop and 20 mins later (having missed and annoyed a number of his other customers) he returns with a newly packaged 1/2 pint of milk.
Gov: "That's excellent. I'll take 2 please"
