Job: cashier

Item doesn’t scan

Customer: “That means it’s free, right?”

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I’ve heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

    That reminds me of the joke where a factory has a big machine break down. They call in a specialist to fix it.

    The specialist looks at the machine for a moment, hits it with a small hammer and it starts working instantly.

    But on being told that the repair cost is $500, the factory owner is outraged and asks how that can possibly be justified for less than a minute’s work.

    “Well, it’s $5 for use of the hammer, $495 for knowing exactly where to hit the machine.”

      Same thing with working in IT

      “You just sit and hit buttons all day”

      Yeah, but it’s knowing which buttons to press
