Indeed. Try talking to a few hundred people each day whilst keeping the banter fun and interesting.
Someone in this doesn't understand how being a cashier works.
And it's not the cashier.
Thank you for dissecting the frog.
Definitely just a dumb joke that got taken a bit too literally.
Says more about the poster that (if it's real) should have just said "heh yeah" and left. If it's not real, then wtf is their life where they need to come up with B's like this? Cashiers have it hard enough
Im going on a limb and guessing this question was never asked directly to the cashier.
Someone really needs to work on their material though. They’re not going to leave their day job any time soon.
You criticize their "material" by yourself regurgitating tired slop from decades past?
Naïve teenager or bad relationship dynamic?
The world may never know
Weird flirting would have been my guess
Or even just a bad attempt at small talk
I was thinking a joke, those jobs get so boring
I used to ask "what did you do?" when there was a guy just buying a bouquet. Got a few chuckles.
That's why I always ask if it's free when something doesn't scan the first time
Classic!
Reminds me of the time I tried to buy some pico… but it wouldn’t scan and the cashier refused to either input the clearly labeled price on the container in manually, or have her shift manager do it for us. I went home without pico…
I didn’t want it free, it was labeled right there! But, gods forbid they charge me for ‘misc item’ at the listed price.
She should have been able to manually add the number under the bar code and get the item, with price and name. Blame her manager for not teaching her.
The moral of the story is to always make your own pico de gallo.
I think it was more of a bad flirting attempt
I’ll take things that never happened for $500 Alex
He's dating a jealous psychopath.
