Insane discount SC's

[mattm04]

My boyfriend (who is Jewish) would like me to extend his apologies for the SC in the second story.... We've NEVER encountered anyone who would act like that (and most of our friends are Jewish), and we're deeply ashamed at that sort of blatant whining.

I wish that happened less, but sadly we get people like that too often, usually female. My area has a small, and from what we have seen, steady or dwindling jewish polulation, a few towns over. My guess, from the size of the synagogue, maybe a few thousand at most, So we do get a fair amount of them.

We know the population was much larger based on the multiple kosher only stores or bakeries that existed. Only one remains. The other closed up shop or converted to regular stores. Even most of the supermarkets ran kosher bakeries, but they all ended that practice about 10-15 years ago.

Like I said, several times a week we get a Jewish person, usually female, trying to use their religion to make us sell them kosher food for less than the retail price, even things like Oreo cookies, milk, eggs, soda, napkins, etc. One, in their 30's, even used the Holocaust card to try to get soda that was already on sale cheaper.

Need help with that complicated SC Math?

There's an app for that!

Sounds like the SC already has app in her skull in place of her brain and it crashed. In which case, she should demand a refund.

Now excuse me, while I go to Craigslist to post an ad for my brain which just ran away.

There should be an app for locating your brain somewhere . . . but then I think it ran off with mine and they're on an island somewhere sipping on margaritas.

My brain pretzeled trying to figure out how the first one came up with her math. Subtract 2? MULTIPLY? Wha....??

She was probably a graduate of my high school's experiment known as "Interactive Math Program" (AKA: everything you learned in grade school is wrong).

Okay, math isn't my strong suit, but damn I don't know how the first idiot came up with that figure. The second one, the kosher product was also on sale. I fail to see how that's unfair to Jewish people.

Who seriously doesn't know how to get half of something?

Just about every customer I come across when we have things on sale for 50% off.

One, in their 30's, even used the Holocaust card to try to get soda that was already on sale cheaper.

If you don't have numbers tattooed on your arm, you don't get to play the Holocaust card on me.

Okay - that's not literally the case. But my mother-in-law was in hiding in Poland. AND was one of a set of twins, and you know all about the twin experiments! She wasn't found, and has no physical scars, nor was ever actually in the camps - but she still has mental scars from the experience. It was such a formative part of her childhood.

If I were to truly express how I feel about the unjustified playing of the Holocaust card......

<sigh>

No you do not get soda on sale because some great-aunt-thrice-removed was once within five kilometres of one of the minor internment camps!

When I was in retail it was an area with a large Jewish community. About the third largest in the UK. We did no kosher products as there were plenty of such places down the road. Of course, we got to hear about how expensive it was there regularly.

However, I've also had the Holocaust card played on me before by someone in their thirties. It didn't get them anywhere.

Well, it got them my disgust. I had a couple of customers who never mentioned they were involved, though their long sleeves (always long sleeves no matter how hot the day) occasionally slipped and I saw blue tattoos.

They were some of the nicest and most polite customers I ever had. They never talked about it.

I'm glad that this is the last of the new stories since I last read the site on Friday.

Your story damn near made my brain implode in on itself.

[Ironclad Alibi]

SC: Ha! Half of $7.74 is not 3.87. It is $1.27! You liar!
M: Let me double check. I grab the calculator and show the SC the very simple math.
SC: Nooooooo, that wrong. The correct way to do it is to take $7.74, subtract 2, than multiply that by 6, they you get half, which is $1.27.
M: *does SC math* No, that's actually $34.44. Which is more the than the original price. You can buy it for $3.87 or not. (I wish could have charged them $34.44, by the system won't let me)

If you divide $7.74 by 6, then subtract 2¢ you get $1.27.
