Two I forgot about! And 1 I just feel like mentioning.
Story the First
I got accused of "robbing" someone.
BACKGROUND: Our tickets cost $6.50 each, with Go-Karts requiring 1 whole ticket and other rides requiring half a ticket, except the slide which is a quarter ticket. If you buy 5 or more, it's $6 per ticket.
SC: A very silly person
Me: A significantly sillier person
SC: $30 of tickets.
Me: Alrighty. 5 tickets. *hits the button to ring up 5 tickets*
SC: *garbles something about 6 tickets*
Me: Oh, you wanted 6 tickets? *about to cancel the first button to ring up 6 instead*
SC: No, isn't it 6 tickets for $30 dollars? That's what the sign out there says.
Insert: No, our signs say "Tickets $6.50 each, 5 or more $6". This has caused some confusion in the past with people thinking we'll sell them multiple tickets for a total of $6. Nowhere does it say anything about $30 for ANYTHING. The generous person would assume SC's math sucks. I'm not feeling generous for long.
Me: No, if you buy 5 or more, they're six-dollars each. 5 tickets at 6 dollars is $30.
SC: Okay, but you're robing me. Think about that while you try to sleep tonight.
I actually got MAD. Not until he walked off, but I spent a few moments pacing and muttering, "OH, I want to kill that guy." Rather amusing for my co-workers, I'm sure.
I have not yet been jaded by that type of SC.
Story the Second
It's half an hour to closing, and a large group comes up to buy more tickets. I forget how, but I mention the group packages, more for future reference, since it's too late to sell them the one with 90 minutes of rides.
L, one of my CWs and often a cashier kind of passes by on her way to fix a game. The ogreish male of the group stops her and demands to know why she didn't tell them about the group package. She says something that I can only assume was an explanation that she had not been on a register, so wouldn't have had anything to do with not mentioning it. Unless they asked her about ticket prices or something. I dunno.
It went on for a short while, but I was about to say something to get him to knock it off. "Sir, please don't yell at my co-workers. She was not on a register today. At LEAST blame the person who sold you the tickets." But he stopped soon enough and they all bought tickets.
This is why I mention the Group Package whenever there's a lot of people.
Story the Third
Wherein I am snarky.
Selling a group of young bucks some tickets. One of them is messing with the straw container next to my register. He's leaning on it, twiddling with it, fondling it.
This gets on my nerves because the straws are falling out, mainly to my side of the counter, and he keeps putting it back so that it's barely staying on the counter.
Finally, I ask him to "please stop molesting the straws.
