A while back I needed to purchase a couple bar stools for my kitchen counter. I wasn’t quite sure what I needed. Fortunately, I found all the answers I needed, on that magical place called the Internet.
Specifically, on Barstools4u.com, I found a fantastic info page which includes this image:
Here’s how this would have gone down before the Web:
INT. FURNITURE SHOWROOM, LIT BY FLUORESCENT BULBS
A male CUSTOMER in a FRIENDS T-SHIRT and STONE-WASHED JEANS approaches a SALES REP, who sports a SWEATER VEST and DARK CORDUROY PANTS.
Customer: Hi. I’m looking to purchase some bar stools.
Sales Rep: Sure, we can help you there. I’m going to need to ask you some questions. First up, how high is your counter?
Customer: It hovers 42 inches off the ground.
Sales Rep: For that, I would recommend a 30-inch stool.
Customer: Ah, ok. I also have a 36-inch counter in my basement. That too hovers, unsupported by any base.
Sales Rep: Ehhhh, for that, you’re probably looking at a 24 or 26-incher.
Customer: Got it. Now, I often wear, I dunno, some sort of helmet, when I eat? Will that change anything?
Sales Rep: Oh, no, not at all, you’re all set there.
Customer: Ah, great, great. I’m going to browse around, looking at many different items in rapid succession without needing to click any buttons.
