An Unexpected Discount
Supermarket | Reykjavik, Iceland |
Working | May 2, 2013
(“The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” has just been released on DVD. I go to the register not only with The Hobbit DVD but two other DVDs, groceries and snacks.)
Clerk: *scans Hobbit DVD* “A good choice.”
Me: “Of course. This one is a must.”
(The clerk finishes ringing up the items.)
Clerk: “Your total is [total], but everyone who buys The Hobbit gets a special discount from me.”
(The clerk pulls out the staff discount card and rings it up. I get discounted for all my purchases as if I worked there.)
Clerk: “No one will make any comments about me giving some discount anyway!”
(This discount turned out to be 10%-15% of the total purchase. Go Ringers!)
