I've been getting a lot of questions from people who seem to think that my position as a retail employee gives me knowledge of all other apsects of their lives. Normally I'm used to this, but over the last two months I just haven't had the energy to play this improvisitational quiz show that people seem to have going on in their heads.
Lately, I've been following someone's advice from one of my other threads by just politely replying that I don't know, or, "That's not my place to speculate."
For example, yesterday, I was ringing up a guy who as buying some laxative.
SC: You charged me $X.xx for that, right?
Me: *looking at the receipt* Yes, that's how much it rang up for.
SC: Well why do they charge me tax for this?
Me: I don't know sir, that has nothing to do with us.
Thing is, I did know, or at least have a theory. But I've learned full well not to offer any kind of suggestions anymore because it just adds fuel to the fire.
