Had a customer come through my line today and ask for a raincheck on something (ground meat, I believe). I tried to call the department and then thought "Oh, fuck it" and started writing up the raincheck.
Customer: "Wait, you have to write that up??"
Me: "Yep."
Customer: "Every other store I've been to, you just punch it in at the register and it spits it out automatically!"
Me: (thinks) *Can I get a job at one of them??"
Me (says): "That sounds great, but unfortunately here we still do it this way."
Customer: *iz rendered speechless*
I did tell her that we're getting massive renovations done over the next few months, including (supposedly) new registers, so perhaps when that happens we can stop writing up rainchecks.
Don't bet the rent money on it, though.
