  • And they're devilishly good!

    I had a customer decide not to buy a bag of cherries the other day.

    Why?

    Because when I weighed them up, the cost came to $6.66.

    I offered to remove a few cherries but nope.

    So I bought them.

    I am now the proud owner of a bag of demonic cherries.

    I found a combination of food at a store I would visit on Fridays that came up to 6.66 every time. It freaked the cashier out so I would get it every week.

        When I worked at the bookstore, I would get customers who suddenly decided they didn't want their book when it totaled to $6.66 (for some reason the adult-ed coursebooks were the most frequent offenders)...a few of them demanded to know why we couldn't change the total to a "better number" (we can, it's called "you buy a card or something extra").

            I did something like that once, back before I knew how superstitious some people actually were. This was back in the late 80s or early 90s, back when gas was a helluva lot cheaper than it is now. I stopped at a gas station to fill up, and the pump stopped at $6.64. Just to be a smartass, I squeezed two more cents into it. I don't know if Pay at the Pump existed back then, but even if it did, I didn't have a credit card yet, so I had to go in and pay. When the cashier brought up the total, I thought she was going to have a heart attack. One of the other people behind the counter said she should play that number in the lottery, but the cashier said, "No! That's the devil's number!' I actually felt a little bad after that.

              Some years ago, DH had a standard lunch that came to $6.66. He still jokingly calls it "the McMeal of the Beast", even though it hasn't cost so little for years.
