Friday Is When The Freaks Come To Buy Beer

[longbottle]

I don't usually work Friday close shifts. But I did tonight. Good lord, it was insane. There was a much much higher ratio of people I had to turn away for lack or proof of age, and plenty of irritable pricks

Yep.

So many stupid people, the mind boggles. I can't even begin to count the times I've been asked "how much is this?" when there's a clearly marked price tag right below it.

They're hoping for the magical words that transform the price below the item into the price they want to pay.

They've been watching that stupid new Staples commercial.

*presses the easy button*

"now much is it now?"

I once got stuck behind a man (who was just barely 21) in a liquor store who decided to be $75 worth of beer and tequila, and then paid all in ones and quarters. So, I also thank those end of the night people, for not being jackasses and blocking the line!

Don't forget the other extreme... trying to pay for a piddly purchase with a large bill. A fucking Black & Mild with a $100 bill? I think not.

[delfinus]

Haha, yeah. I don't see the issue too much. I mean, we get $100 bills for $3.75 tickets, but we almost always have enough change around that it's just not a big deal.

I'm sure you also don't have a debit card setup that allows people to get $40 cash back.

And being able to keep 20s in your registers must help.
