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.

Customer pays with a $50 or $100 bill and the till requires that I check it
Customer: “It’s good, I just printed it this morning.”
Some days I just had to pretend I didn’t hear them.
Pro tip: if you have a “go to” joke you always say in a given situation, guaranteed the person you’re saying it to has already heard it several times this week. Just don’t.
And before anyone responds with “they’re just trying to improve your day” they’re not. If I don’t find the joke funny they get offended, that means they aren’t doing it for me, they’re doing it to show off how great and funny they are.
Pro tip: don’t tell someone a joke if you’re going to be offended if they don’t laugh.
I used to reply to this on occasion, “Oh then I have to confiscate this. Got another one?”
Bah. I had an Ego trimmer that was defective and part of it ended up melting in my hand and breaking in half. The woman at Ego customer service was surprised, said “wow, are you physically hurt at all?”
Obviously, I said “I’m fine, it’s just my ego is damaged.” She laughed so hard I’m sure she never heard it before. Man, so rare to find someone’s specific sense of humor so quickly. We had a good laugh. Then she denied my warranty claim. Jk, it got replaced.
So glad they don’t have us check the bills where I work, because if they did, I’m sure I’d be hearing this one all the time.
