Getting Loony Over A Loonie, Part 3
An older lady customer’s total was $6. She gave me ten loonies. A Loonie is a Canadian dollar. It’s a $1 coin, and she gave me ten when the total was six.
Me: *Giving four loonies back.* “Oh, here! Take these back since you have exact change, and you’ll get it back anyways.”
Customer: *Freaking out.* “What kind of idiots are they hiring here?!”
Me: “Ma’am, your total is six dollars, and you gave me ten. I’m doing simple math.”
Customer: “Why don’t you go back to school? Clearly, you’re too stupid for this job!”
Me: “Why don’t you go back to your retirement home? Clearly, you lack basic social skills.”
Customer: “I want to speak to your manager!”
I shrug and call him over. The customer explains what happened:
Customer: “This girl was rude to me!”
Manager: “She was rude by giving exact change?”
Customer: “It was her whole attitude! You need to fire her!”
Manager: “She’s leaving next week anyway to go to university.”
Me: “Oh, wait, now that I think about it, I am going back to school!”
My manager and I both laugh. For some reason, this p***ed off the customer even more, and she said:
Customer: “I hope you fail university and make nothing with your life!”
Me: “Like becoming an old lady and shouting at teenage retail employees, expecting them to give a s***?”
After that, every time she came in, she glared at us, and we called her Little Miss Loonie.
