A High Credit Limit
(A customer comes up to the register at about 11 pm, looking a little out of it.)
Customer: “Hi, how much is a double cheeseburger?”
Me: “With tax, it comes to $1.46.”
Customer: “Oh… okay…” (Searches through his pockets and comes up with 63 cents.) “Can I pay with this much cash and the rest on debit?”
Me: “Sure, that’s no problem. I’ll have to do the debit portion first.”
Customer: “Normally, I’d pay with the whole thing on debit, but I just bought a bunch of pot and I don’t know what’s left in my account.”
Me: “How did you manage to buy pot with your debit card?”
Customer: “Oh, man! My dealer is so great! He just got one of those portable debit machines! He comes right to my house!”
Me: “Well, if you could just swipe your card…”
Customer: “Oh, no! I didn’t protect my PIN. What if you saw it?”
Me: “Don’t worry, sir, I was over there. I wasn’t even watching, and I have a terrible memory.”
Customer: “Okay, well, it’s 6969. That’s my favorite number!”
(After leaving with his food I had to chase after him, as he had left his debit card in the machine.)
