Unfiltered Story #248816

I work in a big box store in clothing, but am register trained. One day, I am walking up to the customer service desk when I see an elderly lady with a teenage boy walk up to the first cash register and begins to unload her items onto the belt. The lights off, and there is no cashier there.
Me: Ma’am, that register is closed.
Elderly lady looks up from unloading her groceries.
Elderly lady: Huh?
Me: That register is closed.
She looks up and finally notices that the light is off and that there is no cashier.
Teenage boy, looking thoroughly embarrassed: Grandma!
I go ahead and get on the register to ring through her items, while she and her grandson look embarrassed.
