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) [/ QUOTE ] 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. |

[ QUOTE ] 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! *** [/ QUOTE ] How anyone can be honestly surprised that a Friendly's cashier cannot perform basic subtraction is beyond me. [/ QUOTE ] 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
