They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail! I was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up $46.64 charge. I Gave her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46.64. I gave the money back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor. She became indignant and informed me she was Educated and knew what she was doing, and returned the money again. I gave her the Money back... same scenario! I departed the store with the $46.64. They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail! I walked into a Starbucks with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a Grande Latte. I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little chalkboard that said "buy one-get one free." "They're already buy-one-get-one-free," she said, "so I guess they're both free." She handed me my free Lattes and I walked out the door. They Walk Among Us! One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when one of them shouted, "Look at that dead bird!" Someone looked up at the sky and said, "Where"? They Walk Among Us! While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?" When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, "Oh I don't keep up with all that stuff." They Walk Among Us! I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific." They Walk Among Us! My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk. They Walk Among Us! My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount. They Walk Among Us! I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, has your plane arrived yet?" They Walk Among Us! While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces." They Walk Among Us, and they Reproduce, and vote!!

Bwahahaha

If we ever go off the grid as a country, most folks will starve in 2 days because they will never be able to count change to buy food.

I got into a heated exchange recently with a clerk at a restaurant while paying for our food. The bill was $15.19. I gave her $20.29 because that was the only combination of change I had and I hate to carry a pocket full of pennies. I could tell from her expression that there was a large vacant space behind her eyes. She handed me back a couple of ones and a hand full of coins. I told here that was not right--she owed me $5 and a dime. She was working on a computer screen so surely it was telling her how much money I was to get back. She flew into a rant and was about to get one from me when another clerk stepped in, looked at the transaction and gave me my correct change. The 1st girl was still on her rant when we left the place. I haven't seen her in there since. She must have blown a fuse or something. Yes, it is sad that she is allowed to reproduce and vote.

She knew her "metrics"!!!! That's what the young lady at Lakeway the other night. Went in at 11 on a Saturday night and order 2 pounds of miners, she quickly informed me that they were cheaper by the dozen.
I say, oh really. Yes , she says, 6 dozen minners is way cheaper, SHE KNEW her metrics!!!! At this point I just say whatever, been up since 4 this morning, fished the second day of the CM in Greenville and was ready to be home.
She starts dipping minners and I go home having spent 8 bucks or so instead of 25.
The next afternoon I go to get the minners out of the tank in the truck and put them in the vat at the house. I had well over 30 dozen, but she knew her metrics!!!

Used to work in a grocery store as a kid..........lots of customers thought that 50 cents for something was high............but put them 2 for a dollar, and lo and behold.........couldn't keep them on the shelf! I'll never forget the manager telling me to price everything that was 50 cents 2/1.00, lol.

My Granddaddy used to harass the checkers at a local market. He would go to check out and if something was priced 2/99 he would make them give him the one that was 49 cents since the other had to be 50 cents. Used to tear the old lady up but she would let him have the one for .49. We didn't have a lot of entertainment in our little town.

I wouldn't make that public. I'd keep going back!!!!! [emoji4]

I really don't care if they count every one, got to sell a lot of soft drinks to make up 13 or 14 dollars LOSS on one sale, really more than that I was basing it on their cost and what I paid for em. If you count the loss at retail it goes up. I like a good count as much as anyone but they aren't there to lose money, no different than you, you cant sell boats that cost 20k for 6k and stay in business.

I call it a loss leader. Lose on one item to get customers in to buy everything else. Grocery stores, walmart, and most big box stores do it all the time.

I lose on some things all the time ( transom savers, tie down straps, oil, etc) to close a deal. I'll sell Ya a 20k boat for 6 if you'll pay double for the engine!!! [emoji12]

I bet Lakeway knows they lose a little on minners, but drinks, food, fishing supplies, ice, Cigs, and gas all make up for it by having a big customer base show up every day to grab a deal on those cheap minners. [emoji4]

I know the owners of lakeway...they are good friends. Our kids went to school together. He knows they are losing money on minnows....but they make it up on all the other stuff.

Last week I got an email from a friend letting me know that, "There's going to be a solar eclipse tonight. I plan to watch it." I replied that she surely should watch it as a solar eclipse at night is rare indeed.

I carried the kids to get fireworks one year. We bought a $33 worth. I gave the guy 2 $20s. He returns with my change and the 2 $20s are there. I said you made a mistake. He says oh sorry and gives me another $5.
The other night Debbie and I went out to eat. We get the ticket at the end of the meal. We have the correct change with tip. Before we can get up from the table the girl is back with our change. A $10, $5 and 5 0nes. I catch her and tell her to recheck our ticket and give her the money.

you cant fix people
