I workin Arizonas Hometown Grocers’ meat department. I love most of my customers. Some of them, not so much. This is about one of those guys.
Trout-hat Terry comes in to the meat department, looking around in a manner that I could only describe as inspectorial. Like he was agreeing or disagreeing by nodding or shaking his head with every thing he looked at. A flurry of eyebrows and shoulders.
He comes to me as I greet him with my usual “hey how’s it g-“ then he spits right into his spiel.
“Yeah I wann THAT piece, can you see it?!”
Very abrupt and unnecessarily adversarial, plus I’m terrible at meat-plinko, where I have to figure out what he’s pointing at using a one hundred twenty degree angle that needs adjusting for our difference in height.
I’m thinking “dude you can poke the glass as hard or as woodpeckery as you want I still don’t know which one “. It’s the same thing with my other job when I’ve gotta get a pack of obscure cigarettes I just put my finger someplace and they say higher lower lefter or righter. Easier game for both of us.
Anyway we finally get through the beef gauntlet when I throw it atop the scale. Every time I put meat on the scale , I put it on a mini individual wax paper. I had another one I grabbed it with and it was on top of the meat as I weigh him out and print the ticket.
He waits til the ticket is printed and meat wrapped and in his hand to say
“Hey!, do it Coreckly coorrrrrre eckkkkkkly.”
I look at him, the way my dog did the first time he heard me fart. Just head cocked trying to figure out what just happened.
“You put an extra paper on the scale you made it weigh more redo it. Make it correckly! Corr reck- lyyy”
I guess he didn’t like the price
I was going to do what I usually do in this case and show him that the paper is literally weightless and doesn’t change the scale when I saw a glorious opportunity. I saw that the code was wrong that I put in like wayyy wrong to his benefit
I easily could have typed in the same code I did before but I decided to apply my MC card
“Oh crap I put this in as ny strip instead of filet man my bad good call! “
I wrapped it happily and handed it to him with an Aaron Rodgers booger eating grin on my face.
“26 bucks jeezus! Well I guess I deserved that ha”
Nice to see a guy take it in stride, after I final,y entered the weight correckkly.
TLDR- got my meats mixed up.
