This one even had the CDH facepalming. I wasn't actually watching SCO at the time but had a ringside seat for this one.
We have a sale right now on eight-packs of 12-ounce soda; 3 for $12. A guy comes through SCO with three of the single bottles from the eight-packs. Guy scans one, it rings up with the eight-pack price of $5-something. The belt sends the bottle back as the weight clearly isn't correct, attendant comes over.
J: Long-suffering attendant; prefers not to be on SCO at all
CG: Clueless guy
CG: "Those are supposed to be three for 12, why is it coming up at $5.69?"
J: "This bottle is part of a larger pack, someone must have taken it apart (meaning some other moron paid $5 for one tiny bottle...eh, not my concern). You can get three 8-packs for $12."
CG: "No, I just want those 3 [bottles]. They're three for $12, right?"
J is ready to ring in the 3 bottles for $3, but CG insists on paying the full price and even shoos J away when he tries to void the 8-pack and enter the singles. Completes payment and...forgets his receipt and one of the three bottles.
I was almost going to say he was trying to pull something, but he wouldn't be able to get a refund anyway as he has neither the item that was actually rung in (the 8-packs) nor the receipt.
I scurry back to the soda aisle to see if I can find the rest of the pack, but can't. So someone else must have either overpaid for a tiny bottle of Dr. Pepper, or just stolen them.
