• Ok this is the story of the year! A kid wants to buy a ps2, after interrupting a customer that I was previously helping. I walk up to the front with the ps2 and looked down at his wad of cash in his hand and it just looked fake and I went omg. I set the ps2 on the register and whispered to the cashier check his money, its fake. Cashier wouldnt accept his money which turned out to be a million dollar bill, like the play money you can buy in the store for kids. Then the cashier tells the customer we cant accept his money its fake. Customer starts talking loudly that this is real, this is real money this is real, why would it be fake this is real. So we went to the Mgr and she thought we were joking and we were like no were dead serious. So she tells the kid that its fake money. Then the kid comes back to me sayin why is this not real, its real i swear. I try to explain but didnt help and he just stops everyone in the store to ask them why isnt this real, this is real i swear. After this i couldnt stop laughing... I know its sad but it was hilarious.

• Customer buys a pack of batteries and total comes to 2.13 with tax. Customer complains that the front registers that a pack of batteries is only 2.10. We say, no its 2.13 with tax. Customers says that our system is whacked, on something and must have a virus because it charged more tax than it should... **which it didn't, customer was just stupid** Customer refused to buy the batteries because up at front they rung up at 2.10. Customer picked a different pack of batteries which came up to exactly 2.10. **hmmm sounds like those are the ones he rang up in the front**
