Thats... not the pin pad....

[Plaidman]

Woman drove up, (So she's not blind, as least I hope so...). Got some stuff, brought it up, gave me her debit card. I asked her to put her pin in. She then randomly pressed the counter.

I thought she wanted lottery, since we have a glass counter with the lottery on it.

She then asked why the debit didn't work. I told her to put her pin in. I watch as she randomly pressed the counter again. I then pointed to the pin pad.

SC: "OH!! I thought those were the numbers..."


She was talking about the 16 numbers we have, four rows of four, of lottery. So if they don't know the name, they can say they want the number 11 for example.


I really think I lost a IQ point after that.

[MMATM]

How charitable of you! Giving away IQ points, of which I'm sure you have plenty, to those desperately in need. Have a cookie.

Ah, the perfect "Midvale: School for the Gifted" candidate. She should enroll soon . . .

People blow me away sometimes. I watched at least two doofuses try to insert dollar bills into a glass computer screen before.

Card reader at Kinko's. Has a "how to" thing on the touch screen, and shows how to insert a dollar bill into the dollar bill reader to put money onto a Kinko's card. These rocket scientists were trying to insert the money INTO THE PICTURE OF THE CARD READER on the touch screen tutorial.

Just brilliant.

This hasn't happened lately, but TWICE in the last couple of years, I've had to run out to our gas pumps and unlock the face plates for a customer. Why would I have to do this? Because they stuck their credit card way the hell up our receipt slot - the slot with bold letters stating "RETRIEVE RECEIPT HERE" - and got it stuck in the receipt printer...

I've had people stick their credit cards into the cash slot. You'd think if the card didn't just slide in very easily that they would know it was going into the wrong spot.

I've seen people try to scan fresh produce on a self checkout. You know, the kind you get yourself and put as much as you want in a bag. You know, that's . . . sold by the pound. One cashier I worked with would just stand there and watch them grow flabbergasted just for a laugh for a few minutes before she finally helped them.

CW: *snickering* "Ma'am, you can't do that."

Genius of the year: " . . . really? Why not? I'm scanning and scanning and it won't work . . ."

And yet SOMEHOW these people manage to reproduce?

Perhaps their women shave their pubic hairs into an arrow shape to help them out?

I'm really glad I wasn't drinking something just now!

It seems to me that reproduction is the ONLY thing these beasts are good at...

I don't reply without a story of my own too often, but in this case....

Wow. Just wow.

[Becks]

Some people take stupidity to new levels, don't they?

There's sooooooooooooo many things that could be said about that if only one little word was changed.

That can't be it. That would involve reading a sign, and following directions.

[Max]

Good point! Probably just trial and error, then.

"There?" "Nope, that hurts"

"There?" "No, doesn't fit."

"How about there?" "OWW! MY EYE!!!!!!!!"

etc...

Oh, and trying to put a card into a PICTURE of a card reader? Jesus wept....
