Customer sends in deposit or hands over deposit:

ME: Is there a preference on how you receive your cash back?
SC: No. Hundreds please.

ME: Is there a preference on how you receive your cash back?
SC: No. Nothing larger than 20's.


ME: *blink blink*


That is clearly a preference. Tons of people do this. If you heard it day in and day out like I do, you would notice you do it.

So that is the jerk that keeps buying 10 cent items with hundred dollar bills, and you let them escape!

He hit my store the other night trying to break a $100 for a pack of smokes. Thanks, IA! On a serious note, these kinds of answers must make you want to have your response be "Excuse me for a moment. There's a wall that my head urgently needs to meet with."

I greet people in my store with, "What brings you in today?" and get plenty of non-answers, including:

"Good, and you?"
"No thanks."
"What?"

I swear, people don't hear anything that doesn't serve their immediate purpose anymore.

I'm probably guilty of something similar when at grocery stores. Usually the cashier says something while I'm still loading groceries onto the belt. Then I tend to reply "I'm good, thanks." When the person may have asked if I found everything okay. I normally do pay attention, but it's just a neck-jerk reaction.

People do it to me at work, I barely notice it anymore.

Me: Do you have anything else to measure?
Them: Yes, that's all.
