You’ll Have The Devil To Pay
(I decide to stop at a convenience store for some snacks.)
Cashier: “So, how has your day been?”
Me: “It’s been all right. I just worked a six-hour shift and I’m about to head back. I just got these snacks for my break. I have another seven-hour shift ahead of me! I’m just so glad these [sports drinks] are on sale!”
Cashier: “Ugh, good luck! Okay, your total will be… $6.66. Do you want to buy something else so that’s not your total?”
Me: “No, thanks. I don’t really mind, and I only have $7, anyway.”
Cashier: “Please buy a pack of gum or something!”
Me: “I really don’t have enough money for that.”
Cashier: “Then I’ll remove one of these drinks from your purchases! It will be fine!”
Me: “But I need those for myself, my coworker, and my boss! They’ll be pissed if I don’t bring them! Just ring me up for $6.66! I really don’t care!”
Cashier: *takes my $7* “OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME…”
(She shouts the whole prayer incredibly dramatically while counting out my change.)
Me: *takes change silently*
Cashier: “DON’T RETURN, DEVIL CHILD!”
Me: “No problem, lady!”
