  • 8 Minutes Into My Shift

    Yesterday someone needed to get off work early, so me being the nice person I am agreed to come in a couple hours early. Of course, karma does not look out for me, and even though I had given up the majority of my afternoon, I had a SC eight minutes into my shift. What did I do to deserve thise?

    Me - Yours Truly
    SC - Well, you know

    Me - How are you today
    SC - (Before I even begin scanning her order.) I'm paying with debit, I want $20 back. (Please note, she has already specified she wants $20 back.)
    Me - Okay, well when you pay, just hit yes when it asks you if you want cash back. (At our stores the customer runs their cards through themselves.)

    I scan the order.

    Me - Your total is $11.
    SC - Is that with the $20.

    Okay, seriously? How dumb is this lady? There is no way her total would be $11 if that included the $20 back.

    Me - No, you have to put it in yourself that you want $20 back.
    SC - Okay.

    I hit the button on my screen that she's paying with a credit or debit card, the only button I have to hit. I do not have anything on my screen to add in cash back. The receipt prints, and it says I owe her zero dollars back. I hand her the reciept, already knowing that there's probably going to be an arguement, but hoping she decided she just didn't want money back.

    Me - Have a good day.
    SC - You didn't give me my money.
    Me - You don't get cash back, it says on your reciept/
    SC - Yes I did.
    Me - No you didn't, it says right on your reciept, (showing her.) You were only charged the $11, you didn't get cash back.
    SC - Well I want $20.
    Me - I'm sorry I can't just give you $20. You must not of hit the right button for cash back.
    SC - Well I want $20.
    Me - Sorry, I can't do anything you'll have to take it up to customer service.

    SC storms off muttering something about how she's going to shop at the other grocery store in town now since I robbed her of $20.

    I know she did go up and complain to customer service about me, but since they know she should of entered the cash back herself, I didn't get in trouble. Plus I had a bagger, so I had a "witness" how heard me tell her she had to put it in herslef.

              I would have just said yes.

              People that stupid obviously can't be very smart with money, either.

                    When she said that about the $11 being with the $20 I wanted to shove my head through the register.

                        When she asked if the $11 was with the $20 I would've said "yes it is" and see what happened...

                        But seriously, does this lady not know of something called an ATM? If she so desperately wanted cash I'm sure she could find a nearby machine.

                          Trouble is, she probably would have gotten into trouble

                          If it makes sense...

                            At my store, I have to put in the cash out before the card is swiped. And at the other major grocery store, card swipes first, then cash out is entered. So when I see a card, I have to ask if the customer wants cash out every. damn. time. cos otherwise they put in their PIN, and the receipt prints, and then, "oh, I wanted cash out too."

                            And yeah, ATMS are everywhere, use them instead of taking all my cash! I seriously had $5 left in my register last night, cos every second customer wanted like $200 out. When I told a supervisor that I needed a change order, she looked in my register & laughed.

                              There is an ATM in our store. And I believe I was in the register right across from it when I had this SC.
