From not Always Right: 385% Extra Malicious Compliance
I work for a store that sells most items at seventy-five percent off and has large price tickets showing the original price and the discounted price, which we always place at the right hand top corner on the front of the product.
A customer asks me the price of one item.
Me: Looking at the price tag “It’s $19.99.”
Customer: “No, that’s not right. It’s too much.”
Me: “It’s discounted from $79.99.”
Customer: “No, that’s not the right price. Look, it says the price here.”
The customer points to a small white sticker on the back that has the product description and a product number.
Me: “Sorry, but that’s the product number.”
Customer: “No, it’s the price. It says three eighty-five right there, and that’s all I am paying.”
She will not listen to a word I say, arguing back until I get fed up.
Me: “Okay, you can have it for that price.”
A smug “I win” smile comes to her face until I continue with:
Me: “That will be $385, thanks.”
Customer: “WHAT? No, it’s $3.85! How did you come up with that price?”
Me: “The number is written right there. As you can see, there’s no decimal point between any of the numbers, so it’s three hundred and eighty-five. Come to think about it, there’s no dollar sign before the number, which indicates that’s not the price, but you said that aws the only price you were going to pay.”
The customer called me a b**** before storming off.

Wilma looks disgusted. She was looking forward to rescuing her brother from some dangerous, evil Leprechaun scheme.

Is “Night Market” anything like the “24/7 Demon Mart” books by D.M. Guay? I don’t think I’d want to shop their either.

Last item in the list; Frog legs. But poor Edwin will find out too late.
