I had this customer back when I first started working at this gas station. He loved telling other customers how I was new and they would have to be patient with me. He had this really condescending attitude.

Well, 1 evening He made a purchase of candy bars. He bought 2 cause of the deal but the scanner rang up 3. I voided the extra one but the way the register had a weird way of showing this on the receipt. It would look like this

Snickers 2.17 Snickers 2.17 Snickers 2.17 Snickers -2.17 Discount .34

The Discount made them 2 for $4 + tax, thus his total with tax was 4.28 but he told everyone that I overcharged him. I showed him on the receipt the -2.17, this was the removal of the extra one he didn’t purchase. The receipts showed it this way, which was a major pain but it was how it worked. He got quiet and left the store but not before others teased him about the new guy knowing more than he did and comments like, “so whose new?” Didn’t see him for a while.
