Unfiltered Story #181151

(This is a bafflingly frequent exchange when I’m ringing people up at work.)

Me: (After the counter is clear and their cart is empty) All right, did I get everything?

Customer: Yeah.

Me: Then your total is $XX.XX.

Customer: (Points to a child on the other side of the store who has shown no indication of having any connection to this customer until this moment.) Did you get his toy?

Me: … No. Have him bring it up here and I’ll add it to your purchase.
