Here's my situation,
At my work, I've been working the front register night shift, because we're open till midnight this week (before Christmas). You get your normal out-of-it drunk/high/whatever at that time of night. I understand that.
Two ladies, clearly related, come through tonight. The first one is buying cigarettes. She's peering at the price labels underneath the packs. I tell her, don't go by what the labels are, that's the price they're going to be. Okay, I know, corporate shouldn't have made us put the new labels out yet, but meh. She finds her cigarettes, is pleased with the price - since we're the lowest in town, for now.
The other lady, I think her mother, starts going off on me about the price labels. You know how people will go on and on about how the item should ring up for the lower price that was on the shelf label? This lady did that, about a price that was HIGHER on the shelf label than what the cigarettes rang up for!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "You shouldn't have that label there if that's not the price!" eleventy!!!!!!!!!! The cigarette buyer kept saying, no that's what the price is GOING to be, not what it is now, but oh no, 2nd lady has to keep berating me.
I timed it, via the register clock. She went on and on for a total of 5 minutes!!! Thank the deities I didn't have a line! "Well that's just false advertising" etc etc. Finally I get fed up. I say "if you really want the higher price, I can ring them up for you that way".
::cue major backpedaling::: "I don't smoke!!!" (WTF?????) "I'm not trying to be rude" (Really????)
:::sigh::::
