After work rush, guy comes thru with a couple of things, plus a 30-pack of condoms. Condoms won't scan - item not found. As I try keying them in manually, I notice they're expired.
The combination of these things tells me they're on the rack of distress stuff by the doors to our back room. The only person around for a price check is our AM and he's far enough away that I can't yell to him, so I get on the intercom and tell him I need a price check on Express. Instead of coming over, he yells (he's got a big voice) back at me: for what?
I'm thinking: Thanks for the dilemma, dude. Do I tell you to come here or use the intercom? I'm lined up 6 people deep with both Expresses open...
I decide to call it out on the intercom cuz I can't yell that loud, and I don't embarrass easily either: 30-pack of Trojan condoms from the distress rack. Of course the guy turned totally red. Served him right for being a cheap f***er (pun definitely intended) and buying expired condoms. And the price check took a while cuz AM had to go all the way to the back of the store, so people were just staring at the red-faced dude buying condoms!
