Job: cashier

Item doesn't scan

Customer: "That means it's free, right?"

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I've heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

See counterargument tho I've had multiple cashiers try to scan a thing that wasn't in the system and just throw it in my cart so it DOES happen. Lmao

What I do is find a similar item that costs less and use that for that item.

Just charge them for bananas. 4011. Everything is bananas if it doesn't scan.

People asking me if I've tried turning it off and then turning back on again, sometimes while seeming to imply next I should try reversing the polarity, inserting blinker fluid into it, and giving it a good talk like it's a homegrown tomato or something.

Whenever you raise a problem with a process or setup the general answer is "It is what it is". No! Your laziness can jump, you can fix the damn problem you are not going to get away with inaction with a platitude.

When I used to work in a supermarket, I hated the stupid customers. This is a classic example. One of the soft drink companies fairly regularly gave away 50% free.

Therefore, for the same price, the bottle would be 3 litres in size rather than 2.

The amount of people who didn't like that.

"Excuse me, where's the 2 litre bottle?" "Oh, it's the same price miss, you get an extra litre for free." "But I don't want 3 litres, I only want two!" Sigh!
