One Point Stupid
(I am a cashier in a gas station that sells a fair amount of “tobacco” rolling papers. We just recently changed brands that are slightly different. Note that I just moved from the north.)
Me: “Hello, how may I help you today?”
Customer: “I’ll take a pack of one-point-five rolling papers please.”
Me: “All right, we have [brand name] one and one-half gold, [brand name] one and one-half silver, or [off brand] one-and-one-half. Which would you like?”
Customer: “I said one point five not one and one half. Don’t they teach math in school anymore?”
Me: “I’m sorry?”
Customer: “It’s fine. I just wish they would stick to the three r’s still. Reading, writing, and ‘rithmitic.” *storms out*
Me: *stands there with mouth wide open*
Coworker: “Welcome to the south, buddy!”
