Me: “Okay, ma’am, just slide your card and either select credit or enter your PIN.”

Customer: “It says credit. This is a debit.”

Me: “I know, ma’am. Just enter your PIN for debit.”

Customer: “But it says credit!”

Me: “I know, just put in your PIN like on any debit machine.”

Customer: “But the button on the screen says credit!”

(Seeing no end to this conversation, I put my hand over the screen and block her view of it.)

Me: “Okay, now enter your PIN.”

(She does so, and not surprisingly her groceries are paid for.)

Secretary: This photocopier is broken.

Office service staff: Why, what’s it doing?

Secretary: Well, I tried to make a color copy, but it came out black and white.

Office service staff, looking at original: Um, your original is black and white.

Secretary: Yes, I know, I thought it would insert color onto it.

(I’m working in layby (AKA layaways) and dealing with the Christmas shopping rush.)

Customer: “Can I organize delivery for this item?”

Me: “We can, but we can’t guarantee it will arrive before Christmas because you didn’t pay it off by the 1st.”

Customer: “What? Are you trying to ruin Christmas? My grandchildren will cry and find out there is no Santa. Nobody told me I had to pay it off by then!”

Me: “I’m sorry, all the terms and conditions of the layby were printed on your receipt…” *I point it out on the receipt* “See, right here, above where you signed to say that accepted them.”

Customer: “But nobody TOLD me to read them!”

Male cook: Fine, we’ll spell it your way!

Female front desk agent: No, seriously! “Banana” is spelled b-a-n-a-n-a.

(later that day)

Female front desk agent to male front desk agent: Hey, how do you spell “banana”?

Male front desk agent: B-a-b…

Female front desk agent, cutting him off: Forget it.
