Bypassing the Fuse Breaker

After tutoring, I stopped by the neighborhood fruit stand, where the fruits and veggies are the best around. I picked out some delicious looking plums, apples, and pears outside the store and then noticed as I was headed inside, that the power was out at the store. I thought I could not pay for my fruit but then I noticed that the owner was fiddling with the fuse box and trying to flip switches of the circuit breaker to get the power back on. He flipped the master breaker several times and the power would intermittently turn on and then off. He then proceeded to hold the switch in place to keep the power on long enough for the scale and cash register to work. That’s customer service!
