Are They Trying To Scam You, But Are Just Really Bad At It?
Customer: “One Gold Crown shorts.”
Me: “All we have in the Gold Crowns is in the 100’s. Is that okay?”
Customer: *Stares.*
Me: “The only shorts I have in the Crowns are the reds.”
Customer: “I actually wanted the Lucky Strikes in the short golds.”
Me: “Okay…”
I put the crowns on the back counter and grab the lucky strikes golds.
Me: “You want one or two?”
Customer: “Oh, I’ll take the Crowns too.”
Me: “Okay.” *Grabs all three.*
Customer: “How much are the Crowns?”
Me: “$7.81.”
Customer: “And the lucky strikes?”
Me: “Same as the crowns.”
Customer: “I just want one of the lucky strikes.”
Me: “Okay.”
Customer: “…and a Powerball.”
Me: “Okay.”
I ring up the lotto ticket and both cigarettes.
Customer: “Oh, I’ll take the second Lucky Strike.”
Me: “Okay.”
I scan it in and tell her the total. I hand her her ticket and cigarettes.
Customer: “I didn’t want the Crowns. I didn’t pay for them.”
Me: “Actually, you did. If you put your debit card into the PIN pad, I’ll put the $8 back on your card.”
Customer: “Oh, I don’t have time for that… I’ll just take the crowns! I’ll smoke them anyway.” *Marches off.*
