Never Pick A Fight With An Old Scottish Woman, Part 8
I’m working the checkout at a pet store. An older woman is buying dog food and is having trouble paying with her card.
Me: “Hmm, it’s not going through. We’ve been having connectivity issues today, so it might be that.”
Customer: “I have some cash in my purse, so I think I can cover it. Let me count it out.”
The guy behind her, also buying dog food, is being aggressively impatient.
Next Customer: “Oh, come on! Are you being serious?! Some of us have places to be, lady!”
Customer: “And so do I. Never rush an old retired lady, lad. They’ve got nowhere else to be and they’ll only go slower.”
Next Customer: “Jesus f***! Just because you only have your dog left in your life, you old crow.”
Customer: *Looks the guy up and down, noting the dog food.* “Maybe don’t be in such a rush. Your dog wags its tail when you leave.”
The poor guy could not think of a worthy comeback to that, so he shut the h*** up. She paid quickly, and then the guy tried to pay. We confirmed that the card reader was indeed not working, as his payment didn’t go through either, but he didn’t have any cash on him, so he had to go outside to withdraw from a cashpoint before coming back.
He didn’t say a single word throughout the rest of that transaction.
