Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

So my friend and I were running late to a little UFC get together thing and stopped to get something to eat before the match.

We decide since we are running short on time we'll just go to some fast food joint.

We reach the end of the stretch and decide on Burger King, because when you think of quality frozen beef patties, you should always be thinking Burger King.

Anyway I havn't figured out what I want to order so I tell my friend to order first. Behind the cashier is a sign/promo advertising some Bacon Western Whopper Meal for like $5.69. He tells the cashier he wants that meal and the cashier informs him that the computer system is new, so he can't place the order as a meal, and instead must ring up each item individually. This takes the meal price to $6.97, and my friend is like WTF?? Guy is like "Sorry can't do anything!"

So then my friend is like WTF? and orders the bacon whopper meal that is also on promo price for like $5.99 for a large meal.

The [censored] cashier asks him repeatedly what it is that he wants, and my friend has to point out the sign that is on display like 3 feet behind him at which point he finally starts ringing it up not as a meal. The total ends up coming to like $7 again.

At this point I'm in line like laughing at how [censored] stupid the cashier is and ask if there is a manager around. The guy just looks at me and says "Yeah". I'm like, ok so is there a manager around I can talk to and the stupid monkey is like "Yeah, me."

At this point I just turn to my friend, and I'm like "Yo, we're outta here!"

So I'm really just kind of curious what kind of retard "manager" doesn't know the items on the menu, and won't offer to discount/price match the meal pricing even if it isn't in the "new computer system".

I really should have asked for the franchise owner information, and his name, because I highly doubt that that stupid mongoloid was the actual manager, and if he was, he deserves to be fired.

Anyone else have similar retarded experiences?

This reminds me of that Chappelle show bit Pop Copy

"I AM the manager, B!"

Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

The manager has a right to manage the restaurant however he wants! Screw you guys for demanding the price you were told. Good for the manager for having the balls to stand up to a customer for once.

Should have called Burger King ahead of time to make sure they were actually going to sell you the meal at that price. It's your fault.

Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

The thing is I really don't think he was the manager.

He was just dressed in simple BK polo attire and had like prison tats on his arms/fingers.

In my experience the actual manager normally wears like a button down shirt, and slacks and normally doesn't look like he has committed at least one felony in his lifetime.

But yeah, way to not honor the price listed on the wall 2 feet behind the cash register!

WAY TO STICK IT TO THOSE DAMN PESKY CUSTOMERS!!!

You're serious? THAT'S your nomination for dumbest cashier ever? I've got two nominations that blow yours out of the water:

I went to Friendly's for lunch once, and brought the check up to the cashier after I was done eating. The total was $5.56. I handed her the check, and a $20 bill. She hit a few buttons. The drawer popped open. She then called the manager over.

MANAGER: What's up?

CASHIER: His check was for $5.56, and he gave me a $20. Under "Amount Tendered", instead of typing $20, I accidentally typed $5.56, so the machine says I owe him $0.00 change.

MANAGER: That's no biggie. Just give him his change.

CASHIER: Yeah, but how much is that?

LADY IN LINE BEHIND ME: Oh my God!

VOICE ON DRIVE-THRU INTERCOM: Welcome to Taco Bell, may I take your order?

ME: I'd like two tacos supreme, a chicken quesadilla, a steak baja chalupa, and a large Diet Pepsi with no ice.

VOICE: I have two tacos supreme, one chicken quesadilla, one steak baja chalup, and a large Diet Pepsi with no ice. Is that correct?

ME: (pleasantly surprised that she got it right on the first try) Precisely!

VOICE: (pause) Er...what does that mean?

I love it.

OP - trainwreck that bitch cashier by going back tomorrow and finding out for sure that he's not a real manager.

Bad cashier at walmart -

* Go to wal-mart with my brother
* He buys 3 sticks of deodarant and 15 6-packs of Hershey's candy bars.
* Cashier somehow rings up 3 deodarants seperately, then 15 deoderants, then 1 6-pack of Hershey's....
* Brother points out that this is wrong after he has swiped cc but not signed.
* Cashier looks confused, manages to refund 15 deodarants, charge 2 deodarants??, and charge 14 candy bars. Gives small refund.
* I stupidly say I don't think that's right.
* 10 minutes of arguing with cashier, trying to explain. 5 min trying to explain to manager - at which point he says, "I think you did everything right. Just charge him for 2 more deodarants." WTF??! Finally resolved with help of nearby asian looking dude and abacus.

Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

Why in the world is your brother buying 15 6-packs of Hershey's bars?

For starters Hershey's is like the worst chocolate on planet earth, and besides that that's like a chocolate overload!

Trainwrecking isn't really an option since I went pretty far out of the way to one of my friend's houses where the BK was located. (Like a 30+ minute drive)

This one time I put 1.10 on a guys interact purchase when he only bought 1.00 worth of stuff and it kept coming back nsf and neither one of us could figure out why until like the 3rd try when he finally noticed and we tried it for 1.00 and it worked and he was like I knew I had a dollar in there cuz my old lady just transfered it to me like an hour ago.

Too bad about not trainwrecking. My brother loves the Hershey's bars for some reason. He hates going shopping, so he buys ~2 mos worth at a time, so it's not like he's devouring them today.

The best part is that you need 0 maths to do this, just counting. During my 'Dark Days' I was a cashier at a 7-11. We were NOT allowed to enter the cash tendered amount in the register and were required to just jam the CASH button. Here's how it goes:

$5.56 total
$20 tendered

Count up from $5.56:
4 pennies ($5.60)
1 nickel ($5.65)
1 dime ($5.75)
1 quarter ($6)
4 $1 bills ($10)
1 $10 bill ($20)

Viola!

I'd never be able to tell the customer the actual amount of their change but never got it wrong. Count it back to them as you give it over: "6 dollars (hand over change), 7, 8, 9, 10 (count out each $1), and 10 makes $20 (give a little glance to the customer's bill still sitting on top of the till to make sure what you end with is what they gave you)." The counting procedure when you hand it over is the double check on how you made change.

Whenever I see a cashier start by pulling bills from the till, I know they could be scammed with enough work. The best is handing over $22 for a $6.47 total (to minimize small bills in my wallet) and watching the confused look on their face. I've even had people try to hand me back the extra two $1s.

Little known fact: Any total that ends in 59 cents requires one of each coin (penny, nickel, dime, quarter) when given bills only.

Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

I've post this before...

Bill at Wendy's is like 4.60. I hand girl a 5.

She is confused, register is fouled up so she can't use it to figure out change, and then takes out paper, and absent a pen, uses a dime to to the math for the change on there.

Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

Every person in retail in Southern California is dangerously stupid. I went to the Glendale Galleria on July 4th and left TWO stores (Lego store and Teavana) because, even though there was only one person ahead of me in line at each, it was still going to be a twenty minute wait due to how stupid the cashiers were.

Edit:

Stores I Will Not Visit Because of Previous Experiences with Unbelievably Stupid Personnel

1. Sprint Store
2. Kinkos
3. Home Depot

I dont understand how you can't add and subtract numbers in your head that are usually under 50.

Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

Ok. I buy groceries, check the receipt -- I go to this
place regularly and know they're error-prone -- and
notice that they've charged me for some bananas I didn't
have. I point it out to the cashier, who calls the
manager. The manager looks through my bag and then asks
where the bananas are. I explain again that I didn't buy
any bananas, which is why I'm asking for a refund. He says
come on, I need the bananas. I explain again, slowly
and patiently. He then goes to the fruit counter and gets
a bunch of bananas. I say, no, I don't want bananas, I
never wanted bananas, it's just you've mistakenly charged
me for them. But he waves this away, and starts trying
some complicated interaction with the cash register, the
automatic fruit scale, and my receipt. Eventually, after
he rips a banana or two off the bunch and tries again, it
becomes clear that he's trying to get a bunch of bananas of
exactly the right weight so that -- I assume -- he can run
some voiding protocol and take away my bananas from the
cash register's inventory, and thereby work out how much
refund to give me. I point out that he doesn't actually
need bananas to do this, if he wants to do it at all, he
just needs to press on the scale to the right weight and
scan a banana bar code. This is conceptually quite beyond
him.

Eventually I lose patience, and tell him to just give me the
price of the bananas, which of course is written on the
damn receipt, pointing out that he can take the cash from
the register and sort out the accounting afterwards --
amazingly, he does. I walk out of the store, leaving him
still swapping bananas around on the scale and scratching
his head.

Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

Here's one about a stupid customer instead of a stupid cashier. My first job was at a supermarket. Some guy buys stuff and the total is $12.90. The guy hands me a twenty dollar bill and ten cents thinking that this amount will render only paper bills in change. I am confused but don't say anything because I was only 14 and somewhat shy. I ring it up, look at the register, and give him back $7.20 at which point he gets mad and starts bitching about my incompetence to do math.

Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

This one time.. at a gas station.... I gave the clerk a $10 bill. Then I told her I gave her a $20 and she gave me ten extra bucks back. Profit

Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

apak,

that banana story is awesome haha.

Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

my favorite is when your total is 15.xx-16 dollars and you give the cashier 21 dollars. invariably they tell you that it's only 16 dollars. then they try and give you the single back. then you tell them you want a five back. they look at you quizically. i have resorted to just telling them to punch 21 into the cash register and give me the change.

Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

Same thing happened to me at Sonic.

I order a number 3 or whatever it was for $4.99 or whatever and the girl tells me total is like $6.17 and I'm like damn tax isn't that much...I'll ask her when she gets here.

So the little girl comes out and asks for my $6.17 and I'm like "The meal was only $4.99", as I point to it on the menu. She looks at the menu dumbfoundedly, then back at me and says nothing. "The charge is over six dollars...tax isn't that much...that's what I'm trying to say."

Again, silence as she holds my food. "See, it's $4.99" again I point. "That's how we ring it up." she says. "Huh?" "We ring it like that." "Like what?" "That's how the total comes out to." "No, it should be like $5.40 or so with tax." "That's how we ring it up." "The meal was five bucks, tax on that is like no more than 40 cents, not a dollar-eighteen." "We ring it up like that." "Like what?" "One piece at a time." "No, no, it's a combo meal...that is why you order combo's to save a little. Ringing it up separately defeats the whole purpose." "Thats how our manager told us to ring it up." "You're manager told you to do that?" I ask, in stunned exasperation. "Yeah." "Don't like 50 people a day order this combo? Do you charge them all this much?" "Yay I think so." "It's OK, don't worry about it." and boom that's the end of it.

Fortunately it wasn't my local sonic, but one in another town.

Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

Sounds like a case of the manager skimming off the top!

You should feel lucky that you have a local Sonic.

I think everyone does something stupid in a supermarket at some point in their lives, I used to work at one.

As I'm walking out from work into the carpark;

C: Hi, can you tell me where the entrance is?

Me: Yea you see that big orange neon sign behind my head that says ENTRANCE...

I must say that as someone who worked at mcdonalds as a little kid I was always able to do the maths in my head. However on a side not I always though it was strange that it was 90% asian people who gave me change so they made sure they only got notes, my theory was that the average white mcdonalds customer couldn't do the maths to calculate how much to give me so they'd get notes.

Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

On numerous occasions, I have had a total between $10-$20, but when you give them a $20 to pay, they give you the total back as change.

1. Total $14.55.
2. Give $20.
3. Get back $14.55 change.
4. ???
5. PROFIT!!

In highschool we were taking a class trip and stopped at a dairy queen where the cashier was doing something like this. The part that confused me though was that I bought a meal that cost like 6 bucks, handed her a ten, and then received 26 dollars in change. Everyone who went through her line had the exact same thing happen, and nobody said anything to her which I guess says a lot about our character. Majoity of us went back for seconds, which obv says a lot about us too.

Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

This isn't cashier related but one time a group of 5 or 6 of us went to this IHOP. Somebody ordered pancakes but they brought waffles so that guy got his meal free. The next day we all go back - same waitress - so everyone orders pancakes. Everyone receives waffles. Hooray free food.

A few weeks ago I went to KFC and this happens.

(pull up to drive-thru)

Me: Can I get a 3-strip meal with mash potatoes and wedges as my sides. and oh can i get the strips buffalo style.

Him: You're supposed to ask for that first.

Me: huh?

Him: You are supposed to say you want buffalo style strips.

Me: Oh, ok. I'm sorry. Can you change it?

Him: Well, It's already in the system.

Me: Umm..

Him: Fine! I'll do it manually.


I drive up, pay, get food, go home. I open the box and find that there is one standard strip(4-6 inches) and two "nuggets" which clearly were once a single strip that he just ripped in half.

I wanted to go back and kill him. Instead I just wrote a letter to KFC.


They sent an apology and a $25 gidt cert., but I can't get change on it. So now I'm waiting for an occasion when I can buy $25 worth of KFC.

Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

noah, can you explain what this means to people who don't have a kfc in their town?

edit: this is obv a huge brag seeing as I love kfc and getting 25$ in free food sounds pretty sweet.

I wanted three strips of chicken (fried chicken tenders). You can get them plain or with sauces on them. I wanted buffalo (hot sauce). Apparently I didn't order correctly and he didn't want to change it. Then when I got home I got 1 full strip and 2 half-strips instead of the 3 strips. Obviously the guy was sticking it to me. So I wrote KFC a letter complaining and got free monies.

Having been a cashier for 5 years, my mind boggles at what kind of system people like this are using where simple functions like voiding out an entry don't exist.

Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
 

everytime I get taco bell they put sour cream on my chalupas. i cant eat sour cream, its just so disgusting, at first I would ask like a normal person (no sour cream pls), but after like 4 times there was still sour cream, so then I ramped it up and would ask excessively for no sour cream, still....sour cream (I am assuming they did it on purpose because of how many times I was asking), so finally one day I got fed up, after getting home and having like extra sour cream everywhere and asking about a million times for no sour cream. I went back, inside this time, demanded my money back, and literally threw my whole order like a baseball at the douche bags making the food. I really flipped out, and normally irl, I have never ever lose my temper at people like that, but I completely freaked.
