SC: "$2.50 for a can of coke? I can get a two liter for that at Coles!"
Me: (politely) "OK, then let me put that back for you" (reaches for can)
SC: "No it's OK!" (pays, leaves).
He knows full well that the reason a can costs twice as much at the gas station as at the supermarket is that the supermarket's not open on new year's day (or at 3 am, for that matter).
My favourite one ever was years ago when I worked at a different site (in a different chain). It was just after midnight, I'd just clocked off but I witnessed this:
SC: "Four bucks? You're kidding me! It's one dollar at the supermarket!"
night shift guy: "So go to the supermarket then. Oh wait, they're closed!"
Apparently the SC complaind, but the night shift guy was awesome so he didn't get written up or anything (hooray for managers who worked their way up).
