OK, our greenhouse was done earning our store any green, and so on this, the hottest day of the year (until tomorrow, of course), management decided to knock the prices down to lower than, well, dirt.
Which is perfectly fine. The plants have been dying a slow death the last couple of weeks, and this is with them being kept well-watered.
But one hitch came up. The price changers wouldn't actually go out on this nice hot day (it's 97° in the shade) and scan the plants with their price guns to process the price changes. So what they did was, ring them up by the PLU#.
See the fail?
So we had to use the PLU# and not scan the plants, else the old price rear its ugly head and give the customer Poison Complainy Mouth.
Once we grokked to that, it was smooth sailing apart from the plant whose PLU rang it up to $50.00. Nice one guys.
Then apparently the nice boss has actually been outside, because this Sultan of Sweat has been telling some of the customers they can just take some of these dying plants for free and give them a decent funeral in their backyards. Yeah, except they're all dying so why bother selling any of them?
The only good thing today was that we finally got something in our spray bottles so we can clean up after one of these plantary systems comes through our orbits.
And nobody else knew the PLU for a flat, so naturally they all asked me. I don't think that PLU was correct (um, $7.99?) but what do I care? I typed it instead of scanning, so there.
Bonus Story!
We just got the new Patheticards in. They're hideous! Green and orange. Yuck.
And now if the customer can't get the savings with the store card and has to use his/her card, he/she can't just sign up for a new card, since there's no application forms because they're switching over to the new cards. Yet I saw a bunch of people brandishing new cards they just got at the desk today. (???)
