I hate that song. In any case, on to the stories.

One look...from you...I drift...away...I pray...that you...are here...to stay...

I was ringing up a customer, and got done with the customer's order. He tells me to send his check through for $30 over (which is our limit). I have no problem with that. Then this happens.

Him: Can I have two tens and three fives as my $30?
Me: I'm sorry, I'm not permitted to do that. *hands him his change... two tens and two fives*
Him: Wait, I said I wanted three fives. You're ripping me off!

To make a long story short, he got his five dollars. Management wrote me up for not giving the customer what he wanted and put me on count for a month because my till was $5 short at the end of the day.

We recently had cans of Maxwell House coffee on sale, 3 for $5.

Her: *comes up with one of coffee*
Me: *the whole routine... scan* Okay, so your total is $1.67.
Her: Wait, that didn't come up right - I want it free!
Me: *looks at the receipt* May I ask what price you saw?
Her: I saw 3 for $5, that's $1.66 2/3 per can, you're charging me a third of a cent too much, that means I get it free.
Me: Ma'am, the receipt says you're being charged 3 for $5... it needs to round to $1.67 on the first one.
Her: Well, if you can't get it to read as $1.66 2/3, you should charge $1.66 per can. I don't want it. *leaves*
