The Slot Thickens

I overhear the following exchange between the Managers’ Store and Floor:

Store Manager: *Excited.* “Did you see the new self-checkout machines! They look so shiny and new!”

Floor Manager: “Yeah, but the receipt slots are the same size as the slots in the card readers.”

Store Manager: “Okay… and?”

Floor Manager: “You’re… not aware of the average intelligence of our customers, are you?”

Store Manager: “Are you implying our customers are going to put their credit cards into the receipt dispenser?”

Floor Manager: “I apologize for implying it. I’m flat out saying it.”

Store Manager: “The card readers are so obvious. I’m sure it won’t be a problem.”

Floor Manager: “Do I get to call you down to remove a credit card from the receipt dispenser every time it happens?”

Store Manager: “Yes, because it won’t be a problem!”

After the first week and three call-downs… it became a problem.
