Today's anecdote

Location: The Ghetto

Actors: old man, the customer in a good mood and of course...the lovely lovely cashier...

Preface:.after 4 hours of work.

Suddenly the cashier realizes that the product that she was scanning...had a code that wasn't really legible and since there wasn't anyone near her to help her overcome the situation, she excuses herself and runs towards the aisle in question.

Old man: I want THAT ham! That one!!!!(pointing toward the bar-codeless product on the till).

Cashier: Sure. Just let me get another one and I promise you will have the one you want with the right price.

Old man (moaning to the next person next him): Where is she going?urgh!!!

And as the cashier ran to get the impossible ham, she notices an empty box...where all the products where supposed to be. Slightly irritated by the lack of empathy the customer was showing, the cashier returned to the till informing the now-reddish customer that his ham....was nowhere to be found.

Seeing the over-the-top angly customer, the cashier decided to call the manager, and eventually the conflict was resolved.

Cashier: (to the next customer) Hello, would you like some bags?....scanning....(no answer). Utterly surprised by his behavior, and slightly frightened by the growing queue she silently continued scanning.

Customer in a good mood 1: Hello, love! How are you today?

Cashier (with a touch of irony): Smashing!!! How are YOU today?

Customer in a good mood 1: well I heard, that since you kept as all waiting for you that we will get a discount. Well?

Cashier: Umnnn....well I don't know about the discount. (Suddently with big eyes and childish grin on her face) But I can give you the shiniest coins in my till as your change?Would that work?

Customer in a good mood 1: (laughing) Well that's new...Okay.

as he was exiting the store....I could swear he said.....'shiny coins' again
