No Scan, No Scam
(I work in a store in a small town where most of the customers are elderly and sweet. If a price doesn’t come up, I will generally trust a customer if they say they know the exact price.)
Me: “Oh, there’s no barcode on this.”
Customer: “Well, it was $39.99, but I guess that doesn’t help you.”
Me: “Well, I can enter it manually. You’re sure it was $39.99?”
Customer: “Actually, it was… $19.99.”
Me: “Sir, do you really want me to call for a price check and make you and all the people behind you wait ten minutes for someone to come up here?”
Customer: *defeated* “…It was $39.99.”
