Thought He Was About To Cash In

After an incident with the underwater Internet cables running to our state, a large amount of the island has no Internet connection. This means most EFTPOS machines aren’t working, either. My service station got lucky and is completely unaffected; everything is working fine.

A customer pulls up and looks at me excitedly.

Customer: “I’ve got cash!”

Me: “We’ve got working EFTPOS machines!”

Turns out he always carries cash just in case and was excited to be proven right today! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone so disappointed that they could pay by card.
