Also, I went to the grocery store at lunch, and the cashier got shirty with me for using a coupon that she felt took "too much" off the price of the item.
WTF? Does she work on commission or something?
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Right? Maybe she was just having a bad day. I don't know. I was baffled.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What the hell, Tep? Didn't you just recently have a similarly shitty customer service experience at a car dealership?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
She followed me to the manager, told the manager that I was committing coupon fraud, grabbed the coupon from my hand and shoved it at the manager.
Yikes.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
"coupon fraud"?
seriously?
None of the decisions - issue , price or even if the store is going to take coupons is a cashier's choice. all the cashier can do is decide if they match, if the coupon is expired, and maybe question the legitimacy of the coupon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's weird. Why would she care so much?
Speaking of weird retail experiences. I went into an Office Max a couple of days ago to buy a 4GB flash drive that cost all of $12. The cashier asked if I wanted an extended warranty. I just said "no" instead of "are you fucking kidding me?". To the cashier's credit she didn't try to push the issue and quite possibly thought it was just as stupid as I did.

maybe question the reality of the coupon.
"Sorry, this is a Wishverse coupon."
"Sorry, we can't take this. See how Spock has a goatee?"
