While this happened while I was at work today, it happened to a co-worker, hence being in sightings.
The cast:
Cust 1: 20-something guy
Cust2: other 20-something guy
CW: co-worker
Two 20-something guys came in and brought a bottle of Cpt. Morgan rum up to my co-worker's till. After she rang them up and told the total, they were kind of jostling themselves each trying to hand her their credit card,
Cust 1: "Its my turn to pay"
Cust 2: "No you paid last time, its my turn"
Cust 1: "I'm sure you're remembering wrong. I'm positive its my turn"
Cust 2: "No I remember correctly - you bought the bottle last week ,bud."
Cust 1: (holding out credit card to my co-worker) "Look, just put it on my card"
Cust 2: (batting his hand away) "Oh no you don't- that's going on MY card!"
Cust 1: "I don't suppose we can arm wrestle in a liquor store?" (looking at co-worker)
CW: "How about Rock/Paper/Scissors?"
Both: "GREAT IDEA!!!"
And so, much to our amusement they have a quick game of R/P/S, with Cust 1 winning, after which he was met by applause from myself, CW, our boss, and a few other customers who had been watching with amused and bemused looks. Cust 1 took a bow and paid.
On another interesting note, I sold a $98 bottle of Johnnie Walker Platinum Label whiskey, and a $130 bottle of 2006 Dom Perignon today, the Dom being the most expensive product we sell in the store. I also had a couple purchase $500 worth of wine and spirits, easily the most expensive non-commercial/licensee transaction I've made. I've come to the conclusion after watching my customers, that there are a heckuva lot of well-stocked home bars in this town...

(He actually was holding his card closer to me than she was holding hers.)
