Default Pawned the same SC again

We have a SC, who I have posted about before, who almost always refuses to use the handy Front End registers, even if their is NO lines and bother Floral, deli or Bakery when he only has grocery items. Well today I am putting out product and SC walks up the register

SC: Ring my stuff up
I go over to register, and sice he is such a jerk we are "allowed" to be less nice to him, IE a little less than the BARE minimum. Thank you managers for that.
SC: How are you?
Me:........*scans first item* Ok. .. *scan the other 5 or so things he had items*
SC: Card! Card! *thrust store card at me, I scan*
Now when we scan the store card last, it show the subtractions at the end of the screen, but ion the receipt it shows item w/ non-sale price, amount off, new price
Me: $XX.XX
SC: Isn't <item> supposed to be X.XX
Me: Points to subtraction on screen *thinking, I tell you this every fing time i ring you up, the full price shows, then the discount, then the total price*
SC: Oh. *hands over a $100 bill on a 14 dollar order*
Me: I don't have a lot..
SC: Just take it.
I put in $100 and give him his change back, now if he had listened i would have said I don't have a lot of larger bills. Do you have any smalled bills. He got Two Tens a five and the rest in ones.
SC: *HUGE eyes as he sees the wad of ones he got back* Thank you for taking me, that was nice of you. The lines up front are long.
Me: .... Sir, if you want I can call a manager for you if you want to speak whit them about the long lines.*I tried to avoid your passive-aggressive ass like the plague but you still found me, asshole. You threw you crap on my counter and demanded that I ring your self important ass up. I saw that most every resister had ONE maybe two customers in it, one of the self scans was empty, I have seen you use them before. I will laugh my ass off of you drop that wad of ones you got in the parking lot since you don't believe in putting yo money in a wallet or clip.*
SC: No! *hurries out*

Thankfully this jerk posse off the GM enough once so that he allows us to veer of the "thank yous, welcomes, etc," that we are supposed to use and just give him the total.

Next time he does that tell him, "I'm sorry but I don't have the change for that. I'm afraid you'll have to use the checkouts at the front."

Peronally I'd just tell him no up front. Deli/floral/bakary tills are for those items. I can be a right stubbon biatch when I have to be.

Using the Deli line for things other then Deli? I never even thought of doing that. My mother has taught me well. Huzzah!

I secretly hate having to give people anything that they need to give me over 10 dollars change for.

I have to admit I’ve done that before at Wally World. It doesn’t seem to matter what time of day or night I go there, there are always lines out the wazzo. So on a few occasions I’ve used one of the tellers in the back because most people don’t realize that they have the ability to ring you up. I’d say he’s being sucky because of his basic attitude. Like barking orders at you and throwing his CC at you, not because he’s using a till that most people wouldn’t.

Sometimes when I'm in the drugstore, I use the photo dept. or cosmetic dept. to check out, but usually those dept.s will call on the loud speaker that there registers are open when it gets busy in front. Like for ex., one day I see a big line up front and see the cosmetic person putting up items. So I ask her if I can check out at her register.

Sometimes I don't get why, like the SC, get in a line to hurry up and get out...but they really don't have to be somewhere, like work or pick up someone. They get outside and smoke or get outside and piddle around.

You could always take the $100 bill, say you don't have enough change, close the register, meander over the customer service to get lots of ones, meander back, and slowly count out his change. After all, if he was in a hurry, he would have used the front registers.

I'm confused. You don't seem to have sold this man to a pawn shop, so what do you mean when you say you "Pawned" him?

i think she meant pwned... which is a gaming thing... means to defeat someone without them even having a chance to fight back.

or maybe she used a pawn to remove him from the cheesboard. But the likelyhood of a SC being smart enough to get onto a chessboard in the first place is so low that you're probably right.

Ah. Right, then. But how do you get "Pawned" out of that? Both spellings (owned and pwned) are pronounced as the former.
