I think lottos and scratchers sometimes bring out the stupid in people.
Exhibit A: A lady walks in and buys a lot of stuff. While I am ringing her up she asks for 5$ worth of lotto tickets and a bunch of scratchers. I notice that she has a credit card in her hand. I tell her that she can only pay cash for lotto and scratchers. "You mean I can't use this" she says waving the card around. "No," I tell her.
She says "That's okay," She charges the rest of the stuff on her card and starts digging around in her purse. I print out her lotto, get her scratchers when she finally pulls out her debit card. I tell her again she can't use that only to hear "But you said I couldn't use my credit card this is a debit card" Apparently cash only is a foreign concept to her.
Exhibit B: A lady comes in wanting to purchase some scratchers for her son's birthday. Now I don't do scratchers all I can tell a person is how much it costs and which one I sell the most of that's it. She spends 15 minutes asking me about each and every ticket. How much does this one win? Is this one fun? Would her son like this one or the other one more?
After telling her once again that I am not familiar with all of the cards. She goes "Well it shouldn't matter, he'll probably like whatever I get." 15 minutes and you decide it doesn't matter which ones he'll like.

Scratch cards for your sons birthday??? How about taking that money and just buying a really nice card? If he won do you think she asked for a cut since she bout it?
