Caught Red-Handed, Part 3
(Note: I work at a thrift store. It’s quite common for people to pull off price tags in an effort to get a lower price. Most of the time it works, but occasionally we’ll catch someone doing it. This night, my boss approaches me holding a tag that says “$6.99″.)
Boss: *hands me a tag* “I just watched a family in housewares pull this tag off of a metal basket. So, if they ask what price it is, it’s $6.99.”
(Just as my boss predicted, the family comes up ten minutes later with the metal basket, just before closing. The husband begins talking to me.)
Customer: *feigning ignorance* “Oh, so what’s the price on this basket?”
Me: “It’s $6.99.”
Customer: *indignant* “Really?!”
(I pull out the $6.99 price tag they ripped off earlier.)
Me: “Yeah, really.”
Customer: “Oh, s***.”
(I love my work sometimes.)
