Ohh Jewel Customers....
Lousy Jewel customers....
ME: You can't mix and match buy one get one free items, you have to buy one of the same item and get one of the same items free, okay?
CUSTOMER: Que?
ME: You can't get this one because it's not the same as this one.
CUSTOMER: Que?...Oh, I want dos.
ME: Yeah I know, but they can't be the same.
CUSTOMER: "Que?"
(me thinking..."Oh hell no...")
ME: Did you want to buy our extreme value today?
CUSTOMER: (in a pissed off voice) No. If I wanted to buy that I would have gotten it while I was shopping don't you think? You guys HAD better stop asking me that."
(me thinking..."And what the hell are you going to do if we don't? Is it so hard to say "no thank you?"")
ME: It's 10.89. [Customer gives me $10.00. Walks away.] SIR!! I said it's 10.89.
CUSTOMER: Didn't I just give you ten?
ME: (with emphasis on the price)Yeah, it's 10.89...
CUSTOMER: I gave it to you. [Customer talks to me as if I didn't know that the customer just gave me money. Then continues to point at the ten dollars in my hand.]
ME: (a little louder) "IT"S 10.89." [Customer rolls eyes, gives me a hard look and takes a crumpled up dollar bill throws it at me and walks out the door.]
(me thinking..."F*CK YOU)
