Hey everyone...I barely post anything so here's a short one from drive-through hell:
I've had a few teenagers come through and try to give me the significantly wrong amount of money after I tell them the total...not too sucky, more like slightly irritating, but I always wonder what's going through their heads. Either: a) they think I'm stupid and I won't notice, b) they can't count or are too lazy to figure it out, or c) they think I'll just be cool and say okay. (Not to say anything about teenagers in general...there are many pleasant and intelligent ones that come by too.) Anyway I'll share this gem.
Car full of 16-17 year old boys orders several frappucinos, maybe 3 or 4, which tends to rack up the bill pretty fast. (Somehow this always shocks people.) So here I am at the register.
LB: Lazy boy driving the car
Me: Your lovely barista ^_^
Me: Hi, your total is $13.37.
LB: *rifles through a pile of singles for several minutes* Um, what is it?
Me: $13.37.
LB: *continues playing with his money*.....okay, what is it again?
Me: *patiently shuffling my feet* $13.37.
LB after several more minutes triumphantly hands me....seven dollars.
Me: Okay, you gave me seven dollars. It's $13.37.
LB: *cue much sighing and rolling of eyes, finally produces a 10 which he had all along* Can you just give me four dollars back?
(Yeah, nice try.)
Me: *stoneface* Sure.
I gave him three back, put 63 cents in the tip jar and laughed my ass off. Small victory. But seriously, what the hell?
