The Wife Took All Your Money

(I am working at the register one day and an elderly gentleman comes up to my desk.)

Customer: “Hi, I was wondering if I could get my money back?”

(He hands me a couple of receipts stapled together.)

Me: “I’m happy to help. Whatcha got?”

Customer: “I sent my wife in here yesterday to get my money back. I still don’t have it.”

(Looking at the receipts, I see the initial purchase was a few days ago for a couple items, and the newer receipt is from the day prior, with my Employee ID on the top.)

Me: “Well, your wife did return everything from the initial purchase, and I gave the total back to her. There’s really nothing more I can do at this point.”

Customer: “So, can I get my money back?”

Me: “Your wife has it, sir.”

Customer: “Oh, okay… So… can I get my money back here?”
