From Where Quality Comes First...

She don't cook mashed potatoes, she don't cook T-bone steak, she don't feed me peanut butter, she knows that I can't take.
So here I was scanning away in the express line when I had a person come to my line with a cart halfway full of Keller's butter (it's on sale here for $1.99, no limit).
Me: Ma'am, I'm sorry, but this lane is for orders with 20 items or less.
Bint: But all I have is butter, it's ONE ITEM!
Me: Ma'am, how many boxes of butter do you have in there?
Bint: 105, but they're all the same, so it's one item.
Me: Even if they are all the same, I must scan each one, and so it's 105 items to me. *looks behind him* Register 4 is open though -- and there's no wait!
Bint: *pulls into register 4*
Other Cashier: Did you find everything you were looking for?
Bint: No, I didn't get all the butter I wanted, you didn't have enough -- I had to take some from other customers just to get this.
Me: *jawdrop*
Yep, that's right, she stole from fellow customers just so she can buy all the butter in the store. In any case, what do you do with $208.95 worth of butter?
I started school, in a worn, torn dress that somebody threw out, I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt...
I'm on register one, spotting the dot, when all of a sudden I see a five-year old banging on the keys of my register.
Me: Young lady, I don't think you ought to be pounding on the keys of my register -- you might break it.
Moo: Who the fuck are you trying to correct?
Me: *looks up to a girl who looks all of 21* Ma'am, I'm just trying to make sure my register isn't broken -- it's a quite expensive piece of equipment.
Moo: So? I TOLD her to do it -- I know you hit certain buttons and the drawer pops out!
Me: Ma'am, that drawer automatically locks after 60 seconds of inactivity. It's already locked, there's no way you're going to be able to open it.
Moo: Too bad! *she joins in pounding the buttons*
Me: *grabs phone, calls security*
If you're going to try and steal, please don't tell the cashier that you are.
Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime, his sister had another one, she paid it for a lime...
So here I am scanning this customer's order, and her one coupon, which says "FREE, one two-liter bottle Coke with Lime (up to $1.09 value)." This week, however, Coke products are selling for $1.49 per 2-liter. So I scan the coupon, and take off $1.09 (the maximum the coupon says I can.)
Cutch: Wait, the soda was $1.49!
Me: I know that, ma'am, but the coupon says I can only give you credit for $1.09. *points out (up to $1.09 value) to customer*
Cutch: Doesn't matter, it says FREE and I want it free!
Me: Unfortunately, I don't have the authority to do that, but let me get a manager. *pages for override, just in case*
Manager: *assesses the situation* Ma'am, it's just like he says, the coupon says it's only worth up to $1.09.
Cutch: FINE then, I don't want it.
Me: Not a problem. *voids it off*
Now, is paying 49 cents (including tax) for a bottle of soda really that big a deal?
I’m in the high-fidelity first class traveling set, and I think I need a lear jet.
The order was progressing fine, except for the end.
Asshat: While you have the drawer open, can you give me three twenties for my fifty?
Me: I'm sorry, sir, but I am not allowed to make change in my register.
Asshat: Bullshit! I want the store director!
Me: Right away, sir. *pages on intercom* Will an available manager please come to register 5 for a Code Eyedeetentee?
Manager: What seems to be the problem here?
Asshat: He won't give me three twenties for my fifty!
Manager: I don't blame him - besides the fact that it would make his till $10 short, he's not allowed to make change in the register.
Asshat: I'm never shopping in this store again! *storms out with groceries*
Me (after he's out of earshot) Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out!
Scammers, beware!
