Job: cashier

Item doesn't scan

Customer: "That means it's free, right?"

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I've heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

Can you change the report for this one customer who has a nonstandard completely fucking stupid set up that none of your collection points account for and goes against the entire point of this report?

Well, maybe not those exact words. It's more like:

rep: customers XYZ doesn't like what they see on the report
me: well tell them to clean up their shit and stop leaving orphaned systems in their environment
rep: well can't you just exclude the orphaned ones
me: the point of the report is to help you clean up your environment. If they did that it would show improvement week over week until it got to the levels they want to see.
rep: they don't want to do that, they just want them excluded from the report
me: no

I hope this customer is being charged for these orphaned systems. They'll care more if it's costing them money.

My husband did report-writing for a few years. #GIGO
