In Australia if an item scans at an incorrect price the first item is free, every subsequent item of the same type is at the correct price.
yomancs
What the fuck, is this joke please do the setup
Kitastrophe
I worked in retail for years. I figure your customers have to be pretty great if something like this can bother you.
Jengu
I am usually on the receiving end of this terrible joke, and I hate it. But I still make it to cashiers because I'm a bad person.
KiKiVavou
Enh. Just deigning to be at my work is enough for me to dislike you.
valkrez
I hope your socks are always wet
SeanRyding
mate go fuck yourself
jwax33
I say "Hi, how are you doing today?" and sadly it seems most of them haven't heard it before....
michaelladawn
Then sorry, I have to hate you on principle, it's nothing personal. I hope you understand.
dontthinkifitinhere
As a waitress it's the same when people finish their meal and say "I hated it". Soooo original
alexcoldt
Fuck you.
Reorder
You're a monster
Omni21
My husband says this everytime. Also, be careful with that money, I just printed it!! He's cheesy, but he's mine.
Swe3tJe3bus
I honestly just ignore it and tell them thank you and have a great day.
forestfinagle
I worked retail for a few years, whining about people being pleasant does not compute.
Server614
When the waiter(ess) asks "Can I get you anything else" you should always answer "Sure, a million bucks!" I bet that'd be super funny!!
MiasmaCorrigan
go fuck yourself then.
nopantstank
gorbal
As a former cashier, I still say that.
madetheaccountjustforyou
"I like making minimum wage employees days worse for my own pleasure" Wow, you're a real piece of shit aren't you?
Naturally90
LOL if someone making a crappy joke makes your day bad you're gonna spend your life miserable. Chill out!
GoodNewsCigaretteJuice
Anything like a simple, kind-intentioned joke that irrationally bothers someone says more about the bothered person imo
E7C69
I'm not even a cashier, but when they ask me to cashier for like 30 minutes I hear it at least 5 times. It's annoying to hear the same thing
E7C69
Over and over again all day. And sometimes if you don't give them their fake laugh they call you grumpy. What kind intentions!
Shocklates
the thing that bugs me the most is when i check anything over a 20$ bill and they say "yeah i just printed it this morning", fucking hate it
JamesBonnyman
So you are just an asshole? OK than
Ukkosenjumala
You are the reason why we can't have nice things.
ProgressiveSlav
Wireless ear buds and having a conversation were the worst. Plus they never knew what was going on and wanted to dispute everything..
E7C69
Or if they are just standing there, not on the phone, not grabbing their bags, just staring into nowhere, but instead of watching the screen
E7C69
They wait until the end and say the total is wrong and start going down the list asking what things rang up at
T3hi84n2g
It's like your standing at the stove cooking something for yourself and someone walks in and says "hungry?".
Graylinfaux
"ooh what are you cooking me?"
locdogmb12
ummm... it's not like that at all.
IWishIWereADoggo
It's not so much the joke it's that we heard it thousands of times and people always think they made a masterful joke when they say it
wooliebooger
Mix it up then, say " thistle makes it free then right?" while brandishing a weapon
wooliebooger
Or, alternately, brandishing thistle.
batlrar
DiedAndHauntingImgur
My defence to it is to stare at them blankly for a little bit too long, and then act like I don't understand the joke. Make it awkward.
Contracepted
The part that bugs me is how it wastes my time. When I have 50 people behind you and your up cracking jokes I end up with people yelling...
Contracepted
Then I get complaints to my manager for not laughing at people's jokes. Can't win as a cashier.
Cheknya
I always ask them to put it back unless it's something I really want.
ExtraCheese
Just like the stupid "Jake from State Farm" joke. I hear it a million times a day, and each person thinks they're the first to say it.
RykeJK
Shit, I thought I was clever...
SageyWagey
Every customer becomes a master of one liners when they get to the register.
Caketarts
I've probably said it, but never in a clever way. I'm usually apologizing for not looking and grabbing the thing without a tag.
jtotheofo
Yeah, I always deliver it like that, too
Pyrotha
You're the hero I didn't know I needed.
oframpage
I was a cashier for a year. If i was behind you when you said the joke, i would call you a cunt and make sure you heard me. Cunt.
brokendusken
I would usually chuckle if I could tell they were kidding, but if they were actually serious, I wanted to punch their throat.
rex314
I'm preeeetty sure no-one's actually serious about that; Many people just keep a totally straight face when joking...
brokendusken
I actually had people get mad at me for having to get a product with a barcode when I worked at a Wal-Mart in podunk KY.
rex314
...well, you should try not to get too mad at them; they're obviously mentally challenged and can't help themselves... but srsly wtf usa
aprilludgateduire
Or when they say "good year" whenever the change is under $20
Contracepted
TBH I've been a cashier for eight cumulative years and I haven't heard that one yet lol.
PsyduckIsMyFavoritePokemon
My dad likes to say "funny coincidence, that's the year I was born" for any total under $19. So many cashiers fall for it...
kittyfish
I legit had a customer hold up the line trying to think about the things that happened in 1805 because of her total.
TieMeUpNow
I've never had this happen to me...and I'm a cashier
jtotheofo
I say this impulsively almost every time someone says any number
causality
So you're just an annoying person in general.
jtotheofo
More or less
KrymsonPhoenix
As a person who worked as a cashier, I never really minded jokes. I hated people who stood there silently, making me feel awkward as hell.
SusanGoGetMyPants
I'm one of those people..sorry.
turdsturdseverywhere
You would hate me as a customer. I'm there to buy frozen pizza, Dr. Pepper, and beer, do you really think I want to talk?
iwould
Believe it or not. There are people out there that enjoy interacting with strangers. Crazy shit I know.
jtotheofo
Well, I always at least try to talk and if that fails, I just go into self-deprecating humor and essentially talk to myself. Is that awkward
KrymsonPhoenix
Not really, it usually made me chuckle when people started talking to themselves out of awkwardness, but i guess it was awkward for you
coronalmassejection
GuyNamedSean
I was encouraged by management to chat with "guests". If they wouldn't talk to me, I looked bad in front of my boss. Made me hate quiet days
FlintstonesChewableMorphine
I'd probably stop going somewhere if they would always go into small talk. Just wanna get my shit and leave
Quarantane
That seems stupid to me, you're not in control of who talks to you or not.
GuyNamedSean
You're telling me.
Himshaw
Maybe talking with you makes me feel awkward as hell.
KrymsonPhoenix
well then...this just got a lot more awkward >_>
AEvilNyanKat
I'm awkward
Satherian
We all are in a way
AEvilNyanKat
I am in a lot of ways
theReverunderwear
what bugged me most was people who had conversations on the phone while being checked out.
SagaStrangeness
If I'm on the phone in checkout, I immediately put the phone in my pocket till the transaction is done. Been on the other side, hated it
[deleted]

theReverunderwear
some people keep money in their shoe. democrats mostly
rockfireman
I work front desk at a hotel. I can't stand when people are on their phones when they're checking in, it's so rude.
beardofzeus420
Yes! I hate this, this is not what cell phones were made for. Human interaction is almost gone, unless it is behind a computer screen.
DoNotKnowJack
But they are interacting with whoever they are talking to on the phone.
kansasreign
Well then you should go up and talk to them while you check them out
theReverunderwear
a lot of times i just sit and wait
rockfireman
I work front desk at a hotel. I can't stand when people are on their phones when they're checking in, it's so rude.
karlywithak
I straight up refuse to acknowledge people until they put their phones away. Granted, I work in a little bit of a different industry
theReverunderwear
i do this more often than not. it's a parts counter. so interaction is sorta key
CheyenneArcher
Thr only person I talk to over the phone while checking out is my Grandmother. Because I love her.
richelleish
I actually enjoy the break from talking. But more often than not, they don't listen and I end up standing there waiting for them to pay
lolaluftnagel
No its the bluetooth. Like are you talking to me or standing in front of me addressing someone else.
Naturally90
I worked in retail and none of this shit bothered. I work in retail! If that bugs you, you're in the wrong job.
theReverunderwear
wholesale/retail. i really enjoy my job, sometimes i'm in a bad mood though
LavaAxe
If it's an important call that comes up while I'm on the line, then hell yes I'm going to take it.
Naturally90
Yeah of course. Especially if I'm working and just pop out to get lunch. Sorry client, retail assistant is butt hurt gotta call you back.
aleister94
What bothers me is people that ask for a greater discount on already marked down items as though I have the authority to change the prices
theReverunderwear
that bugs me too. i do have the authority and usually if i know you're a good customer. i already hook you up. ask... then no more favors.
Naturally90
To be fair I has the authority to reduce the items if they were defected.
aleister94
Yeah but not when it's clearance
HamsterOnAGoat
I don't personally do it, but as long as they pay immediately and don't hold up the line, what's the big deal?
MyDogJake
In my opinion it is incredibly rude. It kinda tells the cashier that they are not important enough to pay attention to for 5 mins.
blueboxstuff
Been in retail for 10 years... it becomes a problem when you need to ask them questions and you get ignored. Then they come back (1)
blueboxstuff
..complaining that they didn't get a discount because they ignored you 3 different times when you asked for their discount/loyalty card. (2)
theReverunderwear
if you plan on getting the right parts for your car, it's best you pay attention to what i'm asking you.
Suiagg
I don't hang up a phone call cause that'd be rude but I always tell them when I'm in a queue and pay attention to the cashier when paying.
Suiagg
I don't see the problem.
z99nine
Because in my job it requires me to ask questions to the customer. I ignore them until they hang up.
KittyQuaintrelle
Its rude as hell.
HamsterOnAGoat
if I'm just getting groceries, I don't need to talk. why is that rude?
KittyQuaintrelle
Because actual human beings are working so you can get groceries, leat you can do is acknowledge their existance
HamsterOnAGoat
they're doing their job, no more, no less. the thank you is the paycheck they get
MandaloreIncognito
I may be going too deep here, but I think it's some underlying need/want for attention. People don't like being ignored.
kittyfish
I just want them to reply when asked a question instead of holding up a finger then getting mad when something is incorrect
theReverunderwear
if you plan on getting the right parts for your car, it's best you pay attention to what i'm asking you.
HamsterOnAGoat
but if you're just checking out at a grocery store and just need to insert your credit card...
theReverunderwear
it's still very rude.
HamsterOnAGoat
why?
Quarantane
Why? If I'm paying for my groceries as soon as you get the total, isn't that what you want? Me getting out of your line ASAP
