I'd like to return this...it don't work.

Ma'am it's full of cat hair and cigarette butts.

Nah, it came in the box like that.

"No one noticed it was in my pocket, it must be free lol lol lol"

My reaction whenever a customer says a lame-ass joke like that is to do nothing. Literally - no comment, no flicker of recognition on my face. Act like they didn't say anything, give them a moment of uncomfortable silence where they have to face what they just said.

'Cause you know they're not going to be like, "Excise me? Did you hear what I said? IT MUST BE FREE!" They never do that. I glance over after a few seconds and usually they're looking uncomfortably away from me. If they want to make this transaction uncomfortable, that's on them.

I'm curious, what life do you think they feel entitled to?

I'm with you 100%

Worst part of retail, I'd rather deal with a problematic customer than listen to jackasses and their "clever" one-liners like this.
---

I think the only thing more annoying than a customer doing this are the millions of twitter users who have to bitch about it on a daily basis.

I've seen this exact topic word-for-word before.

Ask TC im assuming he's the owner or why would he say "my store" if it was him he wouldn't treat his customers like that for sure.

Oh just deal with it for crying out loud.

Next time someone says something like that when Im the cashier Im going to say

I dont have the energy to fake laugh at that like I usually do

this happened at an apple store irl

customer: hi, i'm having trouble charging my apple
apple specialist: that's funny, my orange won't charge as well
customer: ......

Those ones almost never happen, and when they do, they're not that bad. What's really bad is when a customer is walking up to the register but happened to see you walking away from it so you could try to do things and look busy, and they say, "Almost got away!" That shit is infuriating. The scanning joke? Never happens, and it's not that bad.

Haha, I did this before when I was working retail too. Just flat face, no reaction type of thing. It's pretty great.

I would also sometimes do a really sarcastic laugh or just completely oversell it like it was the funniest shit I ever heard in my life.

Man, you retail workers seem pretty pleasant.

It's why I like/use self checkout. Though I haven't really dealt with an unpleasant retail worker in a while. But some of the comments here make me glad self checkout is a thing.

When i worked retail the truthfully most fascinating thing was the psychology behind a coupon. My store would sometimes have sales that coupons didn't work on. several times I'd have a customer come in. Lets say the item was $7.99. They'd ask if a coupon would work and when i said no they'd pass on it....then during a different sale the item is now $9.99 but you can use a 20% coupon, making it $7.99 now...they'd be super excited about that. making people think they're getting a deal is wild.

The biggest secret is to always make your customers feel like theyre getting a deal.

Customer: "This didn't have a price, is it free?"
Me: "Depends how fast you can run!"

you see, this trick is you gotta be just as much of a dweeblord when dealing with these people

I've never dealt with it at all, as I keep the talking to a minimal, but now I'm going to be wondering if the cashiers I use are drowning in rage, ready to lash out at the next lame joke they hear.
