It seems that there's a moron convention this weekend. Most of the following happened at least twice times with different SCs.
Benefits of reading
SC (gets two 1.25 liter Cokes)
Me: $8
SC: But they're on special!
Me: The 2 liters are on special.
SC: But the sign...
Me: The sign says two 2 liters for $5.99.
SC: Oh I don't read signs, I just saw the $5.99 bit.
Big words are confusing
SC: The ATM says it's out of currency, what does that mean?
Me: It's out of cash.
SC: So it won't give me any money then?
After the second one I put an out of order sign over the ATM screen. Only to have some SC move it then complain about it not working.
This isn't Clerks
SC: Give us a pack of smokes.
Me: What brand?
SC: Oh just the 20 pack.
Me: What brand?
SC: Red will do.
Me: What brand?
SC: Umm.... (5 minutes later) 20 pack in the reds?
Me: What brand?
Eventually they chose a brand, only to find out they didn't have enough money.
Discounted, but not yet
The graveyard shift guys discount hot food late at night, because it's better to make $1 from an old, dried out sausage roll than to throw it out (it's still a loss, but less of a loss than making $0 from it, and yes this is legal). But now the SCs wait until it 3 minutes after the sun goes down and come in and demand their cheap hot food when it's still good enough to sell at full price.
