Time to hear the ol' "You can't fool me!" massacre once again.
Oh well.
It keeps happening. After I make people their keys and wish them a lovely <day of the week> as I am wont to do, they have about a 1/3 tendency to ask me "Do I pay here?"
Thing is, the desk is flat with very little on it except for a display of novelty fold-out rulers or something like that, and the pack of baggies we use to bag the keys. Where is the Register? With what device would our financial transaction be taking place? Would I have hidden it under the desk? Is it in my pocket? Perhaps I have it hidden in my ear? Up my nose? We can keep guessing all day, lady, but you seem to think that I have a register around here and that it is appropriate to pay at a location where you do not see a register to receive your money.
I have no register. Please go to the front and pay them, not I.
But then. Then. Of course, there has to be that one woman who somehow doesn't believe us. Yes, we have a register, but we're hiding it from you. We're lying to you for some reason. We actually do want your money right here and right now, but we want to make it hard for both of us.
I mean you can't enter the store without passing registers. If you walk in through the entrance, they're on your left. If you walk in through the exit, as people do despite the exit signs, (Of course.) they're ALL AROUND YOU.
I mean, yes, I can understand if you are over-inundated with signs and tend to ignore them the more they go up in your face, ... but use your common sense! Think back! Think back to the past when you entered and saw registers!
So, yeah. They say that Goldfish have a very poor memory. Perhaps customers are goldfish. I will have to test this sometime.
