How would you like your cash...Yes.

[MoonChild2007]

Has anyone had asked this question and the customer will always say YES? its like they just hear the word CASH and nothing else But it does get annoying!

Are you kidding?
"Are you paying by credit card or cash today?"
"Yes."
"..."
"..."
"Yes is not a recognized response, please reformat and try again."

Yes, I am paying by either credit card or cash...

Not that I'm going to do that to a retail slave, but my fellow cow-irkers, that's another matter.

This isn't actually that funny, but it made me laugh out loud...

I asked a lady if she wanted to pay by credit or debit, and she said, "Crebit." It STILL makes me laugh, three friggin' years later...

Is that where the debit card has a case of the crabs?

I actually get this a LOT. Fortunately, most people have the grace to look embarrassed when I go, " Crebit??"

Emphasis on the OR, not on the 'Are you paying with' end...

I get that sometimes when I tell them to total. They give my a blank stare and I repeat "that will be XX.XX, how will you be paying?" The dumb customer will go Ummmmmmmm... as they spend a few minutes rummaging thru their purse or pocket looking for their form of payment. If they pay with debit the pin pad says"select cash back options" and has number across the screen such as 0 20 40 50 other, they tell me X amount back, i tell them to enter it on the pin pad. They do then if it as say 20 I will ask if they want any specific bills. some will just say 20 s fine, receive bill then ask for two tens. The then get mad when I have to call the head cashier over to open the till.

Crebit. Hmmm. Interesting word. Too bad I usually pay in cash. I'd like to use the word "crebit"...preferably with a straight face.

I prefer the following:



"Would you like your balance after your transactions are complete?"

"Ummm..."

<insert 10 second pause>



It's like brain surgery.

[Great Unknown]

I asked one customer if his 24-pack case of beer was 'Breakfast, lunch, or dinner' -- and he said "Yes!"

I also note that some limited English speakers will answer almost anything with a yes if you end your sentence with a rising intonation. Especially if you're smiling at them when you ask.

Today a customer comes to my register to get ciggs. I greet him and ask him how he is today (which is my normal greeting), I get, Marlbs red carton hard pack. And this is after I asked him how he was. Then when I get the ciggs for him, I try and ask him again. This time, I don't get a reply. I just ring him up, and let him go on his way.
