“If I could read, I’d be dangerous”
Hey, it’s me again—the one who had to explain to mother and daughter that $6.99 twice equals $13.98 about 5 times.
Anyways, this one’s short, but it was annoying. Older lady with long white hair, <PERSON> shirt and hospital bracelet comes in and starts leaving all her crap on the counter. EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE TAG
Me: Total is x amount.
Lady: How much does every single thing cost? Seems like a lot”
Me: The soil was $12.99 and the other one was—
Her: THEY’RE BOTH $12.99???
Me: No, the other one was $8.99
Her: How do you know that? You just punched in the buttons.
Me: Because we see the items so much that we know most prices by heart.
Her: Are you sure?
Me: (very annoyed) Everything has price tag, do you see this thing right here? That’s the price.
Her: Well, if I could read, I’d be DANGEROUS!
Me: Ok… shocked
She pays and then says “Happy gardening!” With a big freaking smile…
I just don’t know anymore. Wdym if you could read? How did you get a license? How do you have money and credit cards in your purse? How do you have a car? How do you read traffic signs? How are you alive and old? HELP!!! 468
