  • "You not give proper dicount" Yes, dicount, not DISCOUNT

    To make this long story short, an Asian couple, who really need to learn ENGLISH, came in to buy some stuff that they thought was on sale, but they grabbed the wrong item. I pointed that out, and they said that I was wrong in putting it in the flier the way that I did. Huh huh wha? I don't make up those fliers! And then when I had them all rung up, they hand me a coupon. I had to cancel the transaction and redo it since we're supposed to have the coupons BEFORE starting the transaction. I rung them up the second time the guy starts whining that I overcharged them by $2. The best thing is, his wife OWNED him at the end

    SC: You oercharge me, this $90, you not take 20% off
    Me: Sir, I didn't overcharge you, your figure is wrong
    SC: It took off $16 it suppose be $18
    Me: *I grab my calculator, did the math, and he was wrong* Sorry sir, you're wrong, I don't know where you're getting your figure.
    SC's wife steps in and says: "No you wrong, this $90, suppose be 20% off"
    Me: Yes ma'am it IS 20% off. Don't forget you used a coupon
    SC: Why you get attitude with me? *As he's talking, his wife pays the bill*
    SC's wife *turning to SC*: Well maybe if you not so damn ignorant, she be nice!
    *SC storms out*

    ---------------------------------

    Moral of the story, if you can't speak English and you can't add, stay home!

    Was it supposed to be 20% off $90? Cause he's right, 20% of 90 is 18, not 16...

        Yup, it's the coupon that's the wrench in the works.

        The SC's wife got that as soon as it was pointed out to her.

        *shakes head* I've never really understood why math is hard for some people. Most of it is all rather straightforward.

          Kinda makes you wonder if he tried pulling that crap when he got his visa, and if so: How come he didnt get turned away at the customs gate at the airport.

            SC is looking for a bigger discount
            ($90 less 20%) less $10 coupon = $62
            instead of ($90 less $10 coupon) less 20% = $64
