Because we have all sorts of SCs invading the store, in addition to Coupon whores galore. (Especially those who don't seem to know how to read them, or assume we're too stupid to look at the expiration date)
SC: "What can I order here?"
Me:
"Everything on the menu."
Me: "Welcome to Subway, how can I help you today?"
SC: "I'll have this one." *points to something on a sign I CANNOT SEE from where I'm standing*
Me: "...what's 'This one'? Can you read it to me?"
SC: "Uhm...."
Me: *sighs and leans over the counter so I can see what they're pointing at, they're pointing at a sign of our $5 footlongs that's not on t glass sneeze guard that I can actually see through*
Me: What kind of meat?
SC: "This one." *points to something*
Me: ....
It kinda peeves me when customers point at something and just say "This one"...it is annoying because
a) I can't see where they're pointing.
b) They rarely give me enough hints. I can figure out what they want if they point at it and say, "The round cheese", "The yellow stuff", or "The dark green stuff" (Spinach).
c) I CAN'T FRIGGIN SEE WHERE THEY'RE POINTING!!!!!!!
Me: What kind of cheese?
SC: ...White.
Me: ...which one? White American?
SC: White.
Me: What kind of meat?
SC: Regular
Then there are also the customers whose orders are in an entirely garbled manner and it makes me have to ask 'em numerous times what they say, or make me play 20 questions because they only answer with grunts or monotonous words. :| It really holds the line up when they do this....
Me: Do you want chips or a drink with that?
Customer: Yes, I want the meal deal.
Me: $x.xx
Customer: What kind of cup comes with it?
Me: The 21 oz drink.
Customer: Which one is that?
(You wouldn't BELIEVE how often I have to answer those two questions. :| You'd think that people would realize...but then again though, the only thing that says "21 oz" is a big bold sign hanging over the cups and two labels that read, "21 oz".
Me: How can I help you today?
Customer: Chicken Sandwich.
And of course, loads of people who don't know how to read the coupons. You have to get the 32 oz drink before that coupon works, derp. Also, only ONE coupon per order. :/
Bonus SC:
Me: Sir, we can't take this coupon.
SC: Yeah you can.
me: It's expired on May 31st.
SC: It's one of those Day-month-year formats
Me: You mean there are 31 months in a year?

Well sure, for my sandwich. I always know exactly how my sandwich should be prepared once I get in line. But I never seem to think about chips or a drink until the cashier tries the upsell. Que the deer in headlights look.
