    "Sure, I'll pay for your groceries--if you'll pay my rent!"
    “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
    One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
    The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

      But seriously, does that finagling for free groceries ever work anywhere?

        I can see how he earned that nickname.

          I once had a customer who said, in all serious, "Can you pay for my petrol?" I replied that since I couldn't afford to run a car, it was unlikely in this lifetime.

          In reality, I don't drive cuz I live within walking distance of work, but I figured this way worked better as the customer immediately dropped the subject in embarrassment.
          People who don't like cats were probably mice in an earlier life.

            I don't get it. Like, literally, what's the joke he's trying to make? Can someone explain it?

              He's been getting better, although we still have to call him out occasionally (SC brings in spoiled meat with a 3-day-old receipt on the hottest week of the year, or a box of cereal with a sell by date from last year using a receipt from yesterday). With him it's more of "I can't be bothered to deal with this/look up the right code/find the right paperwork" than intentional malice.

              Silent--A lot of SCs must think that grocery employees get some massive discount/perks like other retail slaves. Or they make so little they know all sorts of 'tricks' to get stuff for free and will happily risk their job just to stick it to the company. One of my comebacks for that is "So you'll support my family after I get fired? No? Okay then."

                snugglegirl05, I don't suppose you could ask your coworkers if other people have tried the same thing? This happening twice in short order is quite a coincidence, and I'm wondering if there's a meme running around.
