Oh, and I love all these graph-ic puns!

We made them cos we had to.

This Is Sadly Common
(Not suck, just obliviousness/brain fart. But on-topic.)
So pretty much all our produce requires a quantity entry at this point, and a lot of it won't ring up with a UPC. You have to type the PLU. However, certain items will ring up on the UPC and then immediately go to the quantity screen. Sometimes, customers don't realize this has happened and mistakenly believe they're on the PLU entry screen. They don't even notice when the number stops after two digits.

So a customer scans a watermelon. $4.99 because she didn't use her card, which really only served to make the conclusion more absurd. Anyway, it pops up with that quantity screen and she dutifully types in the PLU, 4032. She doesn't notice the screen only says 40. Yep, 40 watermelons.

She also fails to notice the "40 @ 4.99" on her screen (that's $199.60, if you're keeping count).
Or the nearly $200 price.
OR the suddenly-larger subtotal (over $300).
OR her abnormally-high total (about $320).

...until after she runs her credit card and pays. I can't fix it at this point anyway, and even if I could, a $200 refund ($205.59 after tax) would break my drawer and then some, so she gets to go over to the desk to have it refunded to her card.

Okay, seriously? Seriously? How in the heck does anyone not see that their bill shot up over two hundred dollars before they paid? Even at SCO they should've noticed.

Geez, I get a bunch of food stuffs for a couple of weeks but if it suddenly shot up by two hundred dollars more then what I normally get I'd ask what's going on before I paid.

There may be a ray of hope for the topic of this thread yet.
