Singles is a shop that only sells single items. If such a shop existed, I would give it plenty of business, due to my working circumstances during part of every week. Naturally there would be a small extra charge, for example: the packaging of a single egg; slice of bread, portion of butter etc.
I
know that some items are already available in half portions, but in this shop every item comes as a total single. Some items may be ganged together eg single cigarette plus one match; tea bag, plus solitary milk and sugar set, but the total emphasis is on solitary items.
When I was growing up, you could buy a penny glass of lemonade at a local corner shop, or a spoonful of Creamola Foam if that was your preference.

Be a real shame to buy a cigarette and waste your match. Or
break your egg on the way home. Or have your single slice of
bread wind-up butter-side down. Safety in numbers, you
know. [+] Because I would LOVE that kind of store. |

There was a corner shop in a town where I used to live that sold single cigarettes with a match. |
|
| |
They got busted because virtually all their customers were schoolkids. |
|
| |
I've seen the single cigarette store in the US, and the single egg store in China. And I think T.J. Maxx occasionally sells single shoes. [+] for bringing it all together. |

So, just like a conventional shop, only selling single instances of things, in this instance. A unary improvement. |

Man takes shopping to the check-out: |
|
| |
*beep* - 1 carrot
*beep* - 1 potato
*beep* - 1 steak pie (single portion)
etc. ... |
|
| |
Young girl at check-out says, "You're single, aren't you?"
Man pauses a second, then says, "Ah - you worked that out from my shopping!?"
"No - it's because you're an ugly bas****!" |

Just the left sock please. |

[Jinbish], that made me laugh... |

Glad to be of service, [bliss]. |
