Thank goodness for cashiers that can't do math.
Went to Mark's Work Warehouse, guessing only in Kanuckistan, to get a coat, big sale going on.
Found one for $69.99 less 25%. We have 13% sales tax. In my head I had calculated just under $60. I have my 3 $20 in my hand She says $79 and change.
What? No.
It's on sale. She goes checks the rack. Sign in wrong place but she'll let me have it with discount.
She comes up with$75 dollars.
Wrong.
Give me a pen and paper. I show her it's $59.32.
Back to the till. Comes up with a different number. Blames the computer.
Lineup behind me building.
She's flustered, admits she can't do math.
Re-enters the jacket again. Now it's coming up $38 taxes in.
She lets me have it.
Bonus today is every purchase gets a free pair of copper sole polar socks that sell for $15 a pair.
She wasn't even blonde.
I also got a $5 credit on my points card for purchases over $60.
Great story.
No doubt the cashier should be paid a “living wage” for all her hard work.
