Count On This Customer To Be Considerate For A Change
(A woman in her thirties comes in with her young daughter, and they order two meals to go. The total is just over $18 and she hands me a twenty.)
Me: “Out of twenty?”
Customer: “Oh! Oh! I have the change. Is that okay? Do you want the change? Is it okay if I give you the change? Will it mess you up? Will you have to re-ring it?”
Me: “No, it’s fine. Thanks.”
Customer: “Are you sure? It won’t mess up the till?”
Me: “No. Actually, we have no way to enter in how much customers give us. We just have to use math to figure it out!”
Customer: “Really? Oh my gosh. There’s really no way to figure it out?”
Me: “Nothing but counting.” *I hand her the change* “There you go. That’ll be right out.”
Customer: *in awe* “Wow!”
