the law is law in these parts unless you're an SC.

*sigh* here we go again..

math is hard

So I ring this lady up and tell her the total. She hands me money and all is well right? Wrong.

SC: did you get my cigarettes?
Me: What cigarretts?
SC: I asked for some newports!
Me: ....no you didn't....
SC: wait why was it so much? *looks at receipt* Why was thw beer $9.99? It says 6.99 on the shelf!
Me: (I doubt it)
SC: I want it for 6.99!
me: hold on.

I go to the shelf and I see a tag that says 6.99 but it's for a 6pk right next to the 12pk she grabbed. In fact there was no tag for said product. Since it was the light I looked at the regular beer under the same brand because the prices for a product (whether lite or reg) are always the same. The 12pk reg is 9.99. So I go back and tell her:

Me: mam you looked at the wrong tag. In fact there was no tag. But I assure you that beer is 9.99.

SC: what! No it said 6.99! I want it for 6.99!
Me: I'm sorry I can't do that.
SC: I want my 6.99 beer! (Heads for shelf stares at the signs and garbs the 6pk) then I want this instead.
Me: ok

Funny thing is if you do the math... Well look at it this way. The 6pk is 6.99 and the 12 is 9.99 right? Both have cans of the exact same size, so do the math. The price per can is cheaper when you buy the 12pk than if you buy the 6. So yeah she bought the exact same product that she didn't want and it ends up costing her more. it makes me happy knowing that. Ah sweet revenge.

SCO woes

The following is an example of what I go through about 50% of the time at sco:

SC: (presses pay now button. Sometimes they don't even make it that far. Computer asks if they have any coupons or they make it pass that and it asks for them to select their method of payment. They ignore one of these three and proceed to swipe card. The pin pad says wait for cashier since they didn't press the button when the bice lady asked them to. They then wait and stare at it. Then stare at me. I ignore hoping they'll figure it out but alass...) It's waiting for you!
Me: *sigh* no it's waiting for youm
SC: it says wait for cashier.
Me: you are the cashier. (Duh. Isn't that exactly what you were complaining about when you came over here not wanting to wait in line?)
SC: huh?
Me: *sigh* proceeds to robot and presse the magical buttons he was obviously oblivious too.
SC: oh I didn't know that.
Me: (maybe if you listen to the friendly female voice emanating from the machine you would have known what to do. Or if you simplky look back at the screen and press the big giant buttons that say 'pay now' 'debit' 'credit' etc. You could have been out of here faster.

I swear it happens with almost every customer.

The law is law

SC: (computer asks to show I'd)
CW: (waits to see I'd since he definately looks younger than 40 and as far as 21. Hard to tell.)
SC: I don't have my idea. But I come in here all the time.
CW: (calls me over)
Me: can we please see your I'd.
Cw: I don't have it. But I come in here all the time. Don't you recognise me?
Me: no I don't. I have to see your Id sir.
CW: but I don't have it.
Me: well then tough luck. I ain't sellin that to you without Id.
CW: (leaves)

That's all for now. More whenever I feel up to it.

I used to have to go through that a lot when I helped run the self-scans too. Exactly the same thing. "It says wait for cashier, obviously that's not me, I'm not a cashier." Urgh.

That's because cashier is also a job title......

What's even worst, when you self-check an high theft item. It'll say "wait for cashier, to enter code."
