In Line With The Wine

(My best friend and I are customers at a very large store. It’s 12:55 am, and liquor sales end at 1 am. The cashier is ringing up our items, and stops at the bottle of wine. This isn’t the first time we’ve had troubles with this particular cashier.)

Cashier: “I can’t sell this to you. We can’t sell alcohol after 1 am.”

Me: “But… it’s not 1 am yet. We have a few minutes.”

Cashier: “Nope, register says 1 am. Can’t sell it to you.”

Best Friend: “Uh, no, your register shows 12:56. So can you please ring us up and stop wasting time?”

Cashier: “Look lady; it’s past 1 am. I CAN’T sell it to you!”

Customer Behind Us: “Just ring up the god-d*** wine, and stop wasting everyone else’s time. None of these clocks show 1 am yet. Stop being a difficult b**** and just give these girls their wine!”

(The cashier huffs and glares at the other customer, and waits until 12:59 on the dot to ring up the wine. She made everyone stand there for another few minutes! We didn’t get the manager, but we’ve never seen her there again!)
