You didn't tell me

[Anakah]

I hate it when they assume we are psychic. If I was, I wouldn't be at work, I'd have bought a lottery ticket long ago.

It was pretty busy, I had walked into the back to grab some racks and I came out to see my CW was overwhelmed with people and there were people in the VIP line *sigh* So I went to the VIP line first.

Now, our jetsort on the frontline was broken. So, we had been running coin in the back.

SC: We have some coin.

ME: Sure. But unfortunately our jetsort is broken up here, so I will have to take it to the back. I will be right back.

I grabbed BOTH plastic bags and they said NOTHING to me.

I ran both plastic bags together and came back up.

Me: Okay your total is blah blah blah

SC: WHAT!? You ran them TOGETHER!? I wanted them separate!

ME: Um... I'm sorry I didn't know. You didn't tell me.

SC: I can't believe this! There were two bags for a reason!

Me: Again, I apologize but I really didn't know...

I just figured there were two bags because they couldn't fit all of them in the other bag.

SC: This is just great! (he snarled) One was my wife's mother and our son. They're going to be crushed.

The total was like thirty someting dollars. I get he's upset BUT you have to tell me!!!! He left bitching and I had to tell my supervisor incase he bitched about me.

I quite apologize. What a horrible shopper.

"Sir, I'm sorry your mad, but I assumed it was both bags together and you apparrently assumed I was psychic."

He must be one of the ones who goes to coffee shops and asks for "a coffee" Sorry you had to deal with that idiot.

[Kristev]

Now, now, now, I've done that. Of course, what I ask for is, precisely: Harmless, innocent, ordinary, de-caf coffee, with just a little milk and no sugar, please?

Wait? Coffee shops have more than one type of coffee.

[Mnemjian]

Well, they ask for "a coffee" but they expect "medium sugar-free vanilla soy latte light foam with an extra shot of espresso"

[chainedbarista]

hope he's not gambling, because he's just too much of a fail.

wow, you didn't read his mind? how could you not know?

You mean Denis Leary?

[MoonCat]

This is one of those machines that takes your coins and gives you the total in paper money?

So why couldn't he take what you gave him and just go to the bank or your customer service counter and get the total cash changed into something he could split correctly between his son and his MIL? Unless he didn't know how much was in each bag to start with. Fail on his part.
