So, woman comes up with two children and a cart full of junk food. I think the closest thing she had to an actual food item was a pack of ready-to-cook hamburger patties. The rest was soda, chips, candy, and microwave dinners. So I ring it all up and tell her the total, about $160. She then informs me she's using an EBT/food stamp, which brings her total down to about $156. Then she slides her card and it's rejected due to lack of funds.
Then the fun begins.
Her: "How much I got on there?"
Me: *runs off a partial receipt to check* "$138."
Her: "That's it?!"
Me: "And $26 in the cash account."
Her: "I ain't spendin' cash on food!"
...how lovely. You're welcome, by the way. Can I have that $20 from each of my paychecks back now?
She then proceeded to have me void things off one by one until she was under her food stamp amount. She kept all the soda and chips.
