Gross Misunderstanding
A customer brings a game up to the counter.
Me: “That’ll be $68.98.”
Customer: “What?! The display says $59.99!”
Me: “It’s $59.99, so that’s $68.98 total. I know it’s annoying. America, amirite?”
Customer: “But I only have $60 on me.”
Me: “Then, I can’t sell this to you.”
Customer: “Yeah, well, I don’t want to pay the taxes, so I’ll leave you the $60, and you’ll give me the game.”
Me: “Uh… no, sir, because then I will be $8.98 short and I’ll get into trouble.”
Customer: “What’s $8.98 to a big company anyways?”
Me: “It’s a lot… if we did it for all customers.”
Customer: “Well… you just lost a customer! I’ll go to GameStop! They don’t charge taxes over there!”
Me: “Sure thing, buddy.”
