Unfiltered Story #107800
(I work for a large supermarket chain in a very multi-cultural suburb. We sell phone and data credit which comes printed out on a receipt. The customers tell us which company they want credit for and how much credit they would like)
Customer: “Opta!”
Me: “…I’m sorry?”
Customer: “Opta! Opta!”
Me: “I’m afraid I don’t understand what you’re trying to say, sir.”
Customer: “Opta!” *hands me $30*
Me: “Oh! You want a $30 Optus recharge?”
Customer: “Opta!”
(He didn’t complain once I’d handed it to him, so I guess that was what he was after. One of my coworkers was nearby during this exchange and for the rest of the day we kept yelling “Opta!” at each other.)
