Is paying for your shit a new concept to you?

[Josh]

Location: Dollar Store.

Normally I experience this suck to a lesser degree, today it went epic.

This twenty someting young girl happily waits while the clerk rings AND bags all her stuff. "$23.64", cue the deer in the headlights look, "how much?" "$23.64". Girl pats every pocket real and imagined on her and proceeds to squeeze two fingers in the 2 sizes too small pant and shirt physical pockets she locates.

"How much?" "$23.64" girl opens her big giant purse and opens all the pockets inside and I swear removes smaller purses from them and proceeeds to open them all. "How much?" "$23.64".

I guess the elusive WTF she was looking for was playing hide-n-seek since she repeated this process from beginning to end THREE additional times! Giving up and probably aware of the 'please drop dead' stares she was on the receiving end; pulls a credit card and pays, of course she asked "how much?" one more time for good luck I guess.

... must resist urge to toss watermelon at her ass.

I guess she was expecting you to tell her, "You're so cute you get everything for free!"

[LillFilly]

Wait, I think I saw this girl at Five Below last night, except she was cussing out the cashier because she'd gotten some things she thought were 3 for 5$ and they weren't, because SHE didn't read the sign!

Giving up and probably aware of the 'please drop dead' stares she was on the receiving end; pulls a credit card and pays, of course she asked "how much?" one more time for good luck I guess.

"How much did I tell you it was the last five times you asked?! LISTEN!!!"

"Well, it was $23.64, but since you suck so much at listening and being prepared to pay, for you, it's $512.75."

Yes, I get these multiple "how much?" idiots too. What's the idea behind that? Do they honestly think making the cashier repeat herself is going to lower the price? All it does is hold up the line and tick everyone off.

[houdini]

"Every time you ask the price, it will go up by $10. Now are you going to pay, or shall we take bets on how high it's going?"

[Shalom]

of course she asked "how much?" one more time for good luck I guess.

At which point everyone on line behind her bellows in unison "TWENTY THREE DOLLARS AND SIXTY FOUR CENTS!!!"

Well, I would've, at least.

At least it wasn't three-fiddy.

Wait, I think I saw this girl at Five Below last night, except she was cussing out the cashier because she'd gotten some things she thought were 3 for 5$ and they weren't, because SHE didn't read the sign!

I think I get several of her relatives coming to my till.

Me : And that's £xx.xx, please.
Cust : How much? *in incredulous tones*
Me : Let me just check that *goes back to previous screen, where every item is displayed* OK, that's £x.xx for the jeans, £x.xx for the sweater, two bath towels at £x.xx for two.... *and so on all through the list, everything has scanned correctly and the customer can see that*
Cust : Okaaaayyyyy...... *hands over payment reluctantly, still looking at the screen*
Me : That's £x.xx change and here's your receipt. Thank you very much!
Cust : *walks away slowly, scanning their receipt intently, still apparently unable to understand how their total went up every time they put something else in their basket*

I gave him a dollar

[Jay 2K Winger]

SC: "How much?"
J2K: "$23.64"
(rigamarole of searching pockets)
SC: "How much?"
J2K: "$23.64"
(more searching)
SC: "How much?"
J2K: "$32.50"
SC: "I thought it was $23.64!"
J2K: "Oh, good, you CAN hear me. Yes, $23.64."

[BrenDAnn]

Nah Jay more like this:

SC: "How much?"
ME: "$23.64."
SC: "How much?"
ME: "$33.64."
SC: "How much?"
ME: "43.64."

Etc etc until SC wises up and pays--be it $23,64 or however high her bill was raised!
