Lady: “Okay, I’m all set.”
Me: *rings the draperies she wants up* “Okay, your total is $768.xx cents.”
Lady: “What?! Aren’t they on sale??”
Me: “No, only the pleated draperies are on sale.”
Lady: “What’s the difference? Why aren’t these ones on sale too?!
Lady’s husband: “What’s going on?”
Lady, now talking to her husband: “These panels aren’t on sale!!!”
Husband: “Oh…well how much does it come up to?”
Lady: “They come out to like $800 bucks.”
Husband: “Well…what do you wanna do?”
Lady: *sigh* “There are signs EVERYWHERE saying that these are on sale.”
Me: “No, there are signs everywhere saying that the PLEATED draperies are on sale.”
Lady: “But that entire room has signs! They all say they’re 20% off.”
Me: “Well I’m sorry to say, but all the signs in that room all say, ‘SALE: All Pleated Draperies 20% Off’. Want me to show you?”
Lady: “No it’s fine…whatever.”
*I finish ringing up the transaction*
Lady, while signing her receipt: “Ugh, it’s just misleading you know? There are literally a hundred signs in that room that say that the draperies are on sale.”
Me: “Well I’m sorry, but they do specify what kind of draperies are on sale.”
Lady: “Well I don’t buy draperies every day, so I don’t pay attention to stupid details like that!!!!”
Me: “Okay, well… I hope they work out for you, have a happy holiday.”
