So Cheap It’s A Steal
(The store is featuring a huge sale on clearance. For example, items marked down to $19 from an original price of $50+ are ringing up for $8.99. A customer comes up with two items that ring up $4.99 each, at least an 80% markdown from the original price.)
Customer: “Can I use this $10 off coupon I got on my phone?”
Me: “I’m so sorry. That coupon can only be used on regularly priced items. And it specifies that it’s $10 off $50 in purchases.”
Customer: “Well, how can I get another discount, then? Do you have any coupons I can use to bring down the price?”
Me: *after blinking out of sheer shock* “I… I guess you could steal it?”
(Thankfully, my manager heard my reply and started cracking up.)
