Calendar Sighting

[Nashida]

My best buddy bought me a "365 Stupidest Things Ever Said" calendar last year. Today's stupid phrase is something I'm sure dozens of us have gone through.

Customer: (placing carton of soda on counter) I have five more in my cart.
Cashier: You have six total then?
Customer: No...I have this one and five more in the cart.
Cashier: For a total of six? Five in the cart and one here?
Customer: No...I have this one and five more in the cart.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

I think my brain just ran across the street to the Greyhound station.

Customer: (placing carton of soda on counter) I have five more in my cart.
Cashier: You have six total then?
Customer: No...I have this one and five more in the cart.

You know the phrase "Six of one; half-dozen of the other"? Don't say that around that customer--you'll just end up in an argument!

And to think that some people want to look at store associates/employees like THEY'RE stupid. Basic math or comprehension seems to elude these people. I had a lady who wanted to buy a set of 20 plates(which are sold separately however), but for not a lot of money. I pointed and showed her our cheapest, $4.48 per plate. "Oh, I don't want to spend that much" "Sorry then "

She then points to a plate. Five dollars a piece. "What about this? this is a good price!!" I explained it was more expensive. She must have not heard me or cared. We didn't have enough of that one anyways.

Five minutes later she asks another associate about a cheap plate. She recommends the same one I did. Customer now says "Wow, that's cheaper!" and bought the 20 from her. This happens EVERY DAY with customers. I don't get it.
