A Little Quiz

[Teefies2]

You are an inebriated person who comes into the store 5 minutes before closing. You want 2 packs of cigarettes. They total (for example) $9.75. You pull out all the money in your wallet and pockets, which totals $9.50. What do you do now?

A) Stare at me dumbfounded for at least 2-3 minutes that I could possible charge you more money than you have.

B) Tell me to put one of the packs of cigarettes back and pay for one.

C) Stuff all your money back into your wallet/pockets and put the total on your debit/charge card.

D) Hand me your cash and put $0.25 on your debit/charge card.

E) Do A and D

F) Do A and C

G) Do A, B, and C

H) None of the above. Got apeshit on me and demand a MANAGER because I am obviously RACIST (even though I am the same race as you).


This is a tricky quiz, kids!!!! It didn't turn out like you'd think it would !!!!!

Excuse me, where is I - All of the above?

I DEMAND I - ALL OF THE ABOVE! GET ME A MANAGER! I DEMAND YOU GET ME A MANAGER RIGHT NOW!! RACIST $^(@)$^&(@^$&)^%&)#$

(Was I close? *g*)

QFT, sigh....

[morgana]

If it "didn't turn out like you'd think it would", I'm going with either B or C.

How long are you going to keep us in suspense?

Yeah, B and C are what non-sucky customers do. The rest...okay, which one happened? I'm guessing H.

[RealUnimportant]

A, then C, which gets declined, so let's try D, which also gets declined, and finally H.

[sms001]

Ah! Double Decline Quadfecta! That WAS tricky! (Seriously? Not a quarter in your bank account and you have NO IDEA?)

I am obviously RACIST (even though I am the same race as you).

Well, not quite. YOU are a member of the human race, and Inebriated is obviously a SC: a different race altogether which just happens to resemble us. (Telltale signs include permanent CBF, grasping tentacles, shrieking voices, and no visible common sense.)

I am soooooo sorry! I forgot "all of the above" !!!! Would a 3 year extension on your CS membership be adequate compensation? No??? How about a lifetime membership?

[Teefies2]

Okay no more suspense. Inebriated customer did:


::: wait for it :::


A and D. Yes, stared at me dumbfounded for a few minutes, then handed me all of his cash and put $0.25 (TWENTY-FIVE CENTS!!!!!!!!) on his debit card.

Just when you thought it was safe to back in the water (cookies for reference)

Also, I do that. I feel really sucky now. This is usually because by the time I resort to cash my debit card is usually empty. So i have had 50 cents in my account, 9.55 in cash, and the total has been 10.01.

I have also checked my bank account on my smartphone while in line because the total purchase MAY be more than I have in my account by a couple of cents. I feel bad now.

I'M SORRY!

Speaking personally, I have no problem in splitting the transaction however the customer wants, provided they give me adequate warning (you already put the card in the machine? sorry, I can't take your coins now); on a business level though, anything less than a pound is hardly worth us processing due to the fees involved, so I'll occasionally "make up" a few pence if it'll get things done quicker - in the long run, I'm saving the company money even if I'm short 10p or 20p later.

No, don't be sorry. The difference is that you were not inebriated.

We all get caught short now and then. But really - putting $0.25 on your debit card just so you could get the TWO packs of cigarettes is just dumb (in my opinion, and I'm a smoker!) I would have felt differently if it had been baby formula, or diapers, or any number of "necessities". But for an additional pack of smokes? Not so much.
