I don’t understand Jim’s deal. He wanted to charge our protagonist MORE money per bulb than he would charge someone buying less garlic? Why?
Was it a deeply shortsighted, cynical attempt to turn a quick buck? Was Jim weirded out by the dynamic forming with TokyoSunbather and was trying to put some distance between them? Was there some sort of subtle dynamic occurring where TokyoSunbather would take the best bulbs and leave only shitty ones behind, and that was causing subsequent customers to perceive Jim’s stock as low-quality, thereby negatively affecting his reputation?
I don’t understand. Something is missing. TokyoSunbather is either holding something back, or is overlooking a key detail. Either way I want to know. It doesn’t make sense. Jim doesn’t make sense. What is the missing piece I need to know.
Oh I didn’t for one second think it was a true story. But it is a fun story that, with the exception of this one massive glaring hole, reads really well. Which just makes the one plot hole stand out even more.
Does the 60% mean he was buying 60% of ALL of Jim’s garlic? That would be pretty annoying, to have someone clean you every week and have none for other customers. Obviously selling all your stock is great, but everyone else needs some too.

Oh good, I’m glad someone else is asking this question. The whole story hinges on it, and it doesn’t make sense.
I’m assuming someone rewrote the events that happened to Hoy Fong Sriracha
Maybe or maybe Jim is mean
Or Jim was in fact giving OP a deal and could no longer afford it
Why not both?! Lol
It just reeks of something that would appear on 4Chan, I wouldn’t read too much into it

Or, and hear me out, somebody made up a story and posted it in the internet.
Even if it’s made up, there’s still more we want to know.
Could be an AI made story, garlic only lasts about 6 months before spoiling. Seems like the kind of mistake AI would make.

60% seems pretty good though? Like 40% for everyone else still sounds like alot of garlic to go around.
I think it’s saying they settled on 60%, I’m guessing that means it was all of it before.
Op hadn’t showered throughout this whole ordeal and absolutely reeked of garlic
This is the most parsimonious hypothesis so far.
