Can’t Discount Their Fake Employee Discount

(I currently work at a department store. I have just opened as a cashier, and I am doing one of my first few transactions when this happens.)

Customer: “So, do you guys have a veteran discount or a senior discount?”

Me: “No, sir, I’m sorry. Unfortunately, we do not have either of those discounts.”

Customer: “Oh, okay… What if I pretended to be an employee? Would that get me a discount?”

Me: “Um… No, sir, I’m sorry, but that would not get you a discount.”

(I continue checking him out, and I am almost done when…)

Customer: “So, pretending to be an employee, that’s not going to work for you? Wouldn’t get me a discount?”

Me: “No, sir, it will not.”
