Not A Bad Penny Among Them
Grocery Store | Right
| January 20, 2014
(I’m working as a cashier. I have a line of three people.)
Me: “Hi. How are you doing tonight?”
Customer #1: “Not bad, and you?”
Me: “Well, to be honest, it’s my first night, and it definitely could be going better! I just had a customer pay for her entire $25 order in dimes and nickels!”
(Customer #1 and Customer #3 wince and make sympathetic noises as I finish ringing out Customer #1. Meanwhile, Customer #2 goes absolutely white as a sheet.)
Customer #2: “I’m really, REALLY sorry. You are going to hate me.”
(Customer #2 places a $40 bottle of whiskey on the counter, and begins emptying his pockets…of pennies.)
Me: *whimpers*
(Thankfully, Customer #2 and Customer #3 helped me count!)
