She Has No Endgame
I have just turned eighteen and have gotten cashier trained at my first job. I had not yet learned not to laugh at the customers.
Customer: “Two days ago, the yarn was .99 cents apiece.”
Me: “Yes, they were.”
Customer: “But now they’re $2.99 apiece.”
Me: “Yes.”
Customer: “Why?”
Me: “They were on sale last week. It’s a new week now so the sale ended and they went back to the original price.”
Customer: “Why did it do that?”
I almost start giggling, but then the customer starts glaring at me. I realize the customer is not kidding.
Me: “Um… because that’s what sales do? They… end.”
Question of the Week
Has a customer ever tried to cross you and lived to regret it? What happened?
