These are a handful of incidents over the weekend leading up to today.
Watermelon =/= Rockmelon
This one had me
ing for most of the night. Customer wanders up, has a watermelon and a rockmelon among her god-knows-how-much load. I weigh the watermelon, avoid weighing the rockmelon (we charge per rockmelon rather than per kilo). The customer stops me and freaks out that I charge her such an obscene price for watermelon! (the watermelon was something like $7 but it was so farkin big). She thought that the WATERMELON was per melon rather than rockmelon. So I go to call produce and she then looks....and realises.
"Oh, wait it's the ROCKMELON that's per melon right?"
Thanks ma'am, now produce is gonna murder me.
Don't shake the Pepsi!
So we had Pepsi on special. No problem. It's common for people to buy heaps of them, put one on the belt and leave them in the trolley so we only scan one instead of ten (we don't have quantity access, unless it's more than about 15 items and then we need a sup) so it's normal for us to swing it back and forth across the scanner to get it to beep. So I'm doing a lady's order and she has about 8 of them. No biggie. So I get to the third time and she goes "don't shake the pepsi it'll explode!" OK...unless you're using it straightaway, I fail to see how Pepsi will explode between work and your home. They'll get shaken up anyway. At that point I went "not really" and she goes "yes really".
And to top it off, at the end, she grabs the bag and snaps "excuse me I can't lift this!" I wasn't ready to get shot down at this point so I just halved her bags and left. It wasn't even that heavy! Stupid woman.
The Magical self-Fixing Coke Machine.
Our Coke machine has been broken for about the past week or so. We know it'll be fixed when the guy fixes it and returns the out-of-order sign to the desk. So the sign's still up today. A guy walks up to the machine, ignores the out-of-order sign, puts in some coins, LIFTS up the sign to get to the keypad and gets a drink! I had to take the sign down after that, but seriously. Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot. And no, he didn't look like someone who was fixing the machine.
