How sharper than a serpent's tooth...
Jan. 8th, 2011 05:42 amI've fallen in love with the blog "Not Always Right," which is a look at the funny, pathetic, and just loony of customer behaviors. I've been slowly working through the back listings, and this one just walloped my funny bone:
(I’ve just finished ringing up some items for a customer and her daughter.)My mother would have shot me.
Me: “It looks like your customer card is about to expire. Would you like to renew it now?”
Customer: “Yes, I would.”
Me: “Okay, just press the green button on the key pad.”
(The total rings up as $24.32.)
Customer: “Okay, I want to pay cash.”
Me: “Okay…”
(We stand there for a few seconds as the customer continues to stare at the total on the register.)
Customer: “Well, what do I do?”
Customer’s daughter: “Are you serious?”
Customer: “Yeah, there is no cash button. What do I do?”
Customer’s daughter: “Mom.”
Customer: “What?”
Customer’s daughter: “Hand the poor woman your cash.”
Customer: (hands me cash) “I’m so sorry...I’m used to the machine telling me what to do!”
Customer’s daughter, to me: “She’s not too bright, but she is real pretty. She’ll probably die first when the Terminators come.”
Customer: “Smart a**!”
