Hashtag Fail
Clothing Store | Right | March 8, 2015
(I am working the till at a popular clothing store when a teenager comes to me to check out with her debit card.)
Me: “Please hit the pound key before you start typing your code.”
Girl: “Pound key? Where is that?”
Me: “It’s the number symbol.”
Girl: “HA! You mean the hashtag? I can’t believe you just called the hashtag a pound key!”
Me: *silence*
Girl: *finishes paying and goes to leave* “How old are you? Did they call it that in the ’70s or something? I will NEVER get over that!”
