So Monday night, I'm doing my usual thing and first customer of the night had tea that was marked down. No problem, anything marked down usually has a barcode on it so we can scan that and not have to rip the entire paper off. So I scan it-it asks for a weight. 
So I gently peel the sticker off to the point where I enter in the markdown manually. Enter in code. Nup, still asks me for a weight.
So in the end, we had to discount dump it (basically an unknown item, but we can't do it anymore lest we get logged)
And the other one I think was that someone in bakery had one too many....
Lady rocks up with a 4-pack of finger buns. This one had a markdown sticker over the barcode but it was handwritten. OK, not a problem, bakery tend to run out of those all the time. So I peel off the centre part and attempt to scan it. Nup, not working. I go to peel off the bottom of the sticker to get the numbers. Type them in, nope, still not working. Ring bakery and ask for them to come down to my register. When she gets down there, she and I both take one look at the label and start
ing around.
The label said "Cheese and Fruit Platter-Small." And it was even printed on the bakery stickers. So she goes and gets me another one. I kept the other one on me that night because not only did it happen then, it happened twice during the night!
Thankfully my customers were more amused by it
