Btw sorry for my english im not an english speaker. 2 years ago I [22F] worked in big retail store that sold almost anything from clothes to bricks.. you name it they sold it. Since i was student working to make some money, i got to ring orders. Nobody was really big fan of doing the registers because people could be very unkind. One day 2 ladies come to my register purchasing baby clothes. One held the stroller while the other one took the clothes. Thet had a gift card for 50 euros. She got to items a little pyjama set and a sweater. Both were on sale for like 40 % i think. Well thry lady thought the total was 50 euros, so she just placed the gift card and started walking away. Then this conversation ensued. Me: excuse me madam you' re total is 51 euros. Lady: thats not right its on sale. Me:yes that is true but together they are 51 not 50. Lady: no, you cant count. It is 50. As i started to grt a bit annoyed, but i had to put up my happy face Me: im not counting i scanned it in and my computer says its 51. Lady: then your computer is wrong. We kept getting back and forth. Me: look ill type it in a calculator. You can watch while i type Lady: oh.. Me: ... so you see, im not making it up. Without an apology, she said something in an other language and her friend begrudgingly gave me 1 euro. Theb they both walked of without saying anything. This interaction took like 20 min and theres was still a big line of customers who were now impatient. This was one of many reasons i never want to work there anymore.
