Saw a guy using bread knives on peonies at a shop in Austin

I walked into this little flower shop on South Congress last week to grab some supplies, and the florist was hacking away at peonies with a serrated bread knife like it was no big deal. The stems were all crushed and ragged, and I nearly choked on my coffee. Anyone else ever walk into a place and just want to hand them a proper pair of shears?

Yeah a cheap pair of pruners would fix that right up.

Is it bad that my first thought was 'I'd probably cut the wrong branch and make it worse'?

Whoa wait, you're telling me you can get a decent pair of pruners for under $10? @the_kevin you gotta show me where lol.
