Not sure exactly where this belongs, but because the Customer got pissy with me, I'll put it here
We are a drugstore. Yes, we sell condoms. Saturday (today) is the day we put out the ad tags for Sunday's sales. Yes we will honor those tags, even if technically it's not Sunday yet.
Guy with Worst Bad Breath I've EVER Smelled (not actually relevant to the story, just added for your amusement) comes up to my register with some stuff and two boxes of condoms. I ring it all up, tell him the total, and he's CBF. "These" pointing to the two boxes of condoms "are 50% off!!" Well okay, our ads are almost always Buy One Get One 50% off, but I'll play along.
I flip through both the flyer that ends tonight AND the one that starts tomorrow. I see the condoms as a Buy One Get One 50% off and show it to him. "NO NO NO that's not right!!!!!!!!!!! I'll go get the tags and SHOWWWWWWWWWWWW you!!!!!" He storms back to the condom aisle, comes back, and SLAPS two ad tags down on the counter. "SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE???"
I say "yes sir, that's what it says. Buy one get one 50% off." As I point to EACH word on the tag. "That's what I did. I rang the first box of condoms up at full price and then rang the second box up at 1/2 price for you".
"Well yanno what? Just f***ing FORGET it!!!!!!!" as he storms out.
Not really too bad huh? But here's the kicker. I'm 54 and this guy was WAYYYY older than me. He was 70 if he was a day. WTH does a 70 year old need to buy condoms for .... unless he's got him a sweet young thing going?? just ewwwww
