Doesn’t Understand The Custom Part Of Customer, Part 34
I’m working the register at the comic book/card shop when three teens, maybe fifteen, wander in and each grab a booster pack.
Two pay with no issue. The third steps up, dumps his crumpled bills on the counter, and comes up exactly twenty-five cents short.
Kid: *Disgusted sigh.* “Can I have a quarter?”
Me: “…No?”
He looks offended.
Kid: “But I need a quarter to pay for this.”
Me: “Right, and you need to have it.”
Kid: “But can’t you just… give me one?”
Me: “That’s not how a store works.”
We go in circles, three full minutes of him sighing, insisting, bargaining, acting like I’m denying him life-saving medicine.
Finally, he huffs dramatically.
Kid: “Fiiiine. I’ll just use my store credit.”
He pulls out his account information.
He has twenty dollars.
I stare. He doesn’t notice.
Me: “…You had store credit this entire time?”
Kid: “Yeah? But I wanted to use cash.”
He pays with store credit, opens the booster pack right in front of me…and then drops the wrapper on the floor without breaking eye contact.
