Their Brain Is Fully Cashed Out
(I work at the airport where I give the tax back to tourists. They apply if they buy souvenirs, clothing, etc. I always ask if they want the money back in Norwegian kroner in cash, or back to a card. This customer is from the United States.)
Me: “All right, do you want the money back to your debit or credit card, or would you like the money back in Norwegian kroner in cash?”
Customer: “Yes.”
Me: “Um… Norwegian cash or back to a credit card?”
Customer: “Yes.”
Me: “Card or cash?”
Customer: “Yes.”
(She’s obviously not listening to me, and since I can’t give her money back to the card without sliding it, I decide to give her cash as there’s a line and I don’t have time to wait for her forever.)
Customer: “I wanted this back to the credit card!”
