Forgot this one from yesterday:
Got called up to the service desk to retrieve a raincheck flat-screen TV for a customer. It turned out to be over a $900 purchase.
The customer paid for it with a big ol' wad of $25 gift cards. That works out to about 36 gift cards and change.
Had to wait about 15 minutes at the desk after I got the TV for the clerk to finish ringing him up.
This to me is a lot like paying for your purchases all in change. It takes a long-ass time to get the transaction finished, and if you're being timed on items scanned per minute you're shot for the rest of the day. He was polite otherwise though, and I'm guessing he must've gotten the gift cards as gifts and was spending them now, but it still struck me as being pretty annoying.
