Hey party people it’s your boy troyyyy ! Nah jk was trying a thing it sounded awkward moving on …
I’m working in the deli in Scottsdale Arizona , where the customers are weird and the employees are nonexistent. It’s a busy day because of this fact.
A customer comes up with his hands on his hips like Superman. You know that way that customers try to let you know they’ve been waiting a long (any amount of ) time ? Some due the I’m a little teapot with one hand on hip, some find their arms. Not this guy. He acts like he walked into the second hand of a Hims commercial minus the smile.
I eventually get to him among the sea of tasks and other customers on the other side of the deli (slicers) and he huffs. “Why do you only have three spicy strips left!? You guys ain’t prepared at all!l And he puffs. “How are you the only person here?” (Which was more accusatory than the remorseful or showing pity etc). And he just about blows my patience in when I realize that by the time I’ve rung up /weighed out his chicken strips that I hit the wrong Tare weight, significantly affecting the price. Infiguu up red oh well I’m only losing four bucks. I’d pay twice as much to have this transaction over.
Before I can say anything , Shirley temple (Sassy Superman) literally spits out “that’s the wrong price Dude ! How bout u Reweigh it the right way!!” You got it. Enter MC
I knew full well that when I reweighrd it and properly did the correct rare weight it was going to be a bigger price. I accidentally hit .4 for rare weight not .005. It made the chicken seven bucks more by the time the tag printed out .
He was not happy
“What the he’ll the price was 5.99 on sale and you had it at 7 bucks there’s no way no fuqqing way”.
I explained to him that I originally did make a mistake but I “accidentally hit a large tare weight that made your chicken significantly cheaper but this is the correct sale price now. Sorry for the mixup ! “
He crumpled back into the sea of demanding customers who all seemed fairly entertained Who am I kidding half the people didn’t even notice. But for me. It was a great moment in an Otherwise brutal day so far.
