What Would Jesus Discount?, Part 8

Religion, Retail, Sales, Texas, USA | Right | August 15, 2024

Our store is going out of business so we have signs up all over the place saying everything is on discount, with the exception of a range of items from a particular brand. A customer has come to the counter with a bunch of these branded items and is shocked they’re ringing in at full price.

Customer: “I thought y’all having a going out-of-business sale!”

Me: “On everything except [Brand], ma’am.”

Customer: “You didn’t say that! Give me the discount!”

Me: *Pointing.* “It’s on signs all over the store, ma’am. Under the discount part.”

Customer: “I didn’t read that part of the sign! I only read the discount part! That’s misleading!”

Me: “Maybe you would have a point if the discount part was using overly large font, but every word on the sign is the same size. It’s not misleading if you didn’t read the whole thing.”

Customer: “No one reads the whole thing! You have to accommodate for that!”

Me: “It’s four lines of text, ma’am.”

Customer: “That don’t matter! You ever read all the bible?”

Me: “Uh… no?”

Customer: “No one has! But we still love Jesus, and he don’t mislead us! Be more like Jesus! Now give me my discount!”

Me: “I’m a Buddhist.”

Customer: “Buddha don’t give out no discounts?”

Me: “I don’t think so.”

Customer: “Ugh! I’m gonna go find me a nice Christian store where they don’t expect you to read!”
