This guy wasn't too bad but it kind of made me laugh. Once again... I'm at the grocery store.
Heading up to get in line I hear the announcement over the loud speaker:
"Attention shoppers the time is now Midnight. We can no longer sell beer, wine or alcohol. Thank-you."
A speedy older man cuts me off and gets in line in front of me- I didn't really much care as I was in no hurry. From his cart he produces some steaks and a six pack of beer. The cashier tells him that she cannot sell him the beer as it's after midnight. He wasn't loud or mean sounding or anything but I had to laugh at what he said next:
"But I had the beer in my cart before midnight."
She smiled and, of course, still denied the sale. He protested a bit but didn't push it too hard.
After he walked off I said, "Huh, I guess he didn't hear that amazingly loud announcement that you guys couldn't sell any longer."
She chuckled and said something to the effect of, "They never hear the announcement."
