A woman and her mother are in my line and want two separate bills, the second being only one item.
A lot of people will use the same card for separate bills, since all they really need is separate receipts.
Well I knew this was going to be a challenge, since these two hags were snotty from the start because that big yellow DEBIT AND CREDIT CARDS ONLY sign wasn't obvious to them until I pointed it out.
Ok, so here's the conversation I had with the mother:
Me: Are you using the same card for the second bill or a different one?
SC: I want them separate.
Me: I know, I was just wondering if you were planning on using the same card for it or not.
SC: Se-pa-rate bi-lls.
Me: Yes, I know they're separate bills, but will you be using the same card for both bills?
SC: Look, I've explained this to you three times. I want them separate.
Me: *thinking: is this my life?* And I understand that, but what I wanted to know is if you'll be using this Visa for the second bill as well.
SC: You must be tired. You can't seem to understand what I'm telling you.
Me: The only thing I'm tired of is people talking to me like I'm stupid. Now I'm sorry that I'm not psychic, but are you using the same card twice or is the second bill, which I completely understand is to be se-pa-rate, going on a different card?
SC:
Yes I'm using the same card.
Do note that every word that came from her mouth reeked of the most condescending tone possible. She appeared to be one of those people who thinks of us retail workers as lowly, stupid peons, and I wasn't going to let that fly.
One really cool woman, who noticed the sign, remarked about the 'debit and credit cards only' sign and asked how long we've been doing it.
Me: About two years, maybe a little less.
Customer: Two years? And you still have to ask people how they're paying just to be sure?
Me: Yep. Sad, isn't it?
Customer: Really sad. You'd figure after this long people would get their shit together and start paying attention. What a bunch of dumbasses.
The best part? This cool customer was only two people ahead of the woman and her mother, who turned out to be the very same dumbasses she was referring to.
Ah, life, you silly, silly, bitch.
