Smoke Before Gas
Convenience Store, Gas Station, Impossible Demands, Money, North Carolina, USA | Right
| January 24, 2020
Customer: “How much for a carton of cigarettes, [Brand #1]?”
Me: “$12, sir.”
Customer: “And [Brand #2]?”
Me: “$15, sir.”
Customer: *places a handful of one-dollar bills and some change on the counter* “All right, give me [Brand #1] and take what’s left from the change to pump two.”
(I start counting the cash and then pause.)
Me: “Sir? With tax, you’ll only be able to put a dollar worth of gas on pump two.”
Customer: “Just do it already!”
(Sadly, this was not the first time something like this had happened.)
