Is he single?

In a relationship and very gay =)

I somehow knew that.

You could consider gender reassignment. I hear it's all the rage these days.

For void tracking -- Usually this is to discourage cashiers from using voids to give their friends free stuff (as opposed to just, ya know, intentionally manually ringing stuff up for a fraction of the price...), because, as you know, all workers are filthy thieves, according to Corporate.

When I was at the Bullseye there was a lady who'd come in close to closing, bring a bunch of clothes and decor to the till, and go through every piece deciding what she wanted. It was usually on a Tuesday. I'm not sure why.

I used to absolutely love shopping with my friend Marc, he was a lightening calculator, and would keep a running total including taxes as needed as we wandered around shopping. I could also blindly flip packages over my shoulder and he would catch them, add them to the total and put them into the cart =) He would also track the coupons =)

See shit like this is why I wish we had a button to declare the reason for the void. Yes it would add another step but at my store at least, our voids are recorded and if we have too many we get a sit down and “why are there all these voids? How incompetent are you?” Talk. Most of the time it’s the customers fault anyway!

I think we have some "void" tracking as well, but I could be wrong about that. Either that, or we've got an awfully high threshold before anybody confronts the cashier. So far nobody's asked me about any of my voids (although as time goes by there are fewer and fewer ).

... she starts talking in an incredibly nasal and whiny voice about "He" doesn't want her spending that much money...

... This is your drugs on brain ...

Back when I worked overnights, I had a woman come in and just fill a cart full of stuff. Certainly nothing that's an emergency at 3 am. After about a half hour, she finally comes up and I ring her up. When I give her the total, she starts talking in an incredibly nasal and whiny voice about "He" doesn't want her spending that much money. While she was wandering around the store, she had someone waiting for her in the parking lot. I ended up voiding a bunch of stuff off and she finally went on her way.

I don't know whether she's incapable of doing basic math in her head while shopping (even I can manage that) or whether she just likes to be a bitch.

Even if she's incapable of doing math in her head, every cell phone has a calculator app. And if she doesn't have a cell phone, there are small, cheap calculators she can easily carry in her pocket or purse. Or hell, just bring a credit card if she doesn't have enough cash. Stop being silly and wasting store product and people's time!

[raudf]

Add my vote for both. I can't do maths of any sort well, but I can round up to the nearest whole dollar and add that to a running total. Strangely, this means taxes are always figured in too!

[taxguykarl]

Not necessarily "either/or". Could be both.

I vote for both.

This just took me back to an unwanted memory from my days at the discount store.

Ten minutes away from closing and a woman pushes a laden-to-overflowing cart up to my till. My heart sinks, but still, I'm a fast scanner, let's get this stuff through and maybe I can still get out on time. Then she starts holding things up. "Not sure if I want this" (puts it on one side) "Hmmm... yes I'll have that" (picks up something else) "Ummm... no, I don't think so". And I'm not talking one or two things either - it was almost everything she had.

Me (internally) "Why in the name of all that's deep fried and crispy couldn't you decide before you put it in your cart?"

Then after I put everything through that she does want, and tell her the total, she discovers she doesn't have quite enough money on her, and sends her husband out to their car to get some more. Finally they get done, and I log out of the till half an hour late.

(One good thing, though - manager was a decent sort, and saw what was going on - he stopped me as I was leaving, thanked me, and said I could start an hour later or leave an hour earlier the next day, whatever I chose, to make up for it)

[evilhomer]

I think she's just a bitch. Everything that comes after that is just a by product of being a person that goes through life with that kind of perpetual attitude.
