A customer wants to pay for a thirty euro purchase with a hundred-euro note.
Me: “Do you have a smaller note? I’m only carrying smaller change in my till.”
Customer: “No. It’s legal tender so you have to take it.”
Me: “I’m not saying that, ma’am. I’m just trying to save you an awkward amount of small change.”
I call my manager for a refill for my till, but in my experience, this doesn’t happen quickly and it isn’t on the manager’s priority list if the shop is busy.
Customer: “Just cash me out! I’m busy!”
Fine, a lot of change it is.
I count in groups of five to make it easier. I’m not even at ten euro of change in various single-euro notes and smaller coins when she frantically waves her hands.
Customer: Waving a couple of twenty euro notes in my face. “Stop, you ret**d!”
She had it the whole time… and she used a slur.
Me: “I’m sorry, but since I’ve already put in the amount on the computer, I can’t take your smaller notes anymore. I have to give you change on the €100 note.”
That wasn’t true, but if you can be annoying, so can I.
Our store has received a $700 order that’s due ASAP, for almost a hundred-fifty blueprint scans. In all the downtime I have between tasks, I keep scanning as many blueprints as I can.
A customer requests a couple photos printed on regular paper. I refer her to the self-service machine and let her know how to get started. I also let her know we have other orders we’re working on. Barely fifteen seconds passes, and she asks out loud:
Customer: “Ugh! Can’t anyone help me?!”
I literally have my cashier ringing, one of my two floor guys ringing, with the other guy already assisting someone.
Me: “Everyone is busy, ma’am, but I—”
Before I can even mention sending someone over, she starts shouting.
Customer: “I can’t believe how no one is available!”
Me: “That’s retail for you, ma’am, we’re always busy at weekends.”
Customer: As she storms out the door. “I GUESS YOU JUST LOST A CUSTOMER!”
Although Aunty Acid might have her ‘weirding ways,’ I doubt her line will eventually lead to the future Bene Gesserit order of the Empire in ‘Dune’. She is hardly a Reverend Mother (more like Irreverent) and her use of booze does not give her powers comparable to the use of Arrakis Spice. But give it 10,000 years … and who knows?

I won’t step over a $20 bill to pick up a nickel.
