There are conflicting stories: Story A]: Many, many years ago bakers sold to each other in lots or packages of thirteen [13]. This was a larger quantity to work with. When a retail customer asked for “a dozen . . . ”, the baker gave the retail customer twelve [12]. The baker increased the profit on the product by a little over 6%. Story B]: To protect himself from being accused of short-changing a customer, THEN because of that accusation being reported to the king or queen who would punish that baker, the baker would give an extra amount of a product to a customer. Doing this protected the baker from getting a hand. chopped off. Thank you for asking your question. You did a great job - not only for your information, but for every other person interested in reading a sensible, qualified answer - my answer. TYVM! I wish you well! VTY, Ron B.
