Me: *standing on step ladder reorganizing coffee display shelves*
Customer: so you asked for a raise and they gave you a ladder huh?
Me: lmao sounds about right

Better than the joke I forced on my customer at my last job.
Customer: Where’s the number 3?
Me: Between 2 and 4!
Customer: Smart ass...

Sometimes I really love doing that to people.
Customer: can I get some air?
Me: *blows gently* was that enough?
That one usually gets a pity laugh.

Aren’t we getting a 10% raise in December?
lewabwee 8 points 2y ago
I can confirm this. I‘m fairly certain it goes into effect on December 14th.

Any joke is better than the typical "Working hard or hardly working?"
reddituseranyonymous 3 points 2y ago
I had a customer if I wanted paper or plastic while working as a cashier. I was so confused (back when stores had both paper and plastic bags) I couldn't wrap my head around why he was asking me, that was my job.
He then said: Cash or Credit. I thought it was hilarious but also felt dumb for not getting it.

Adventurous_Gui 1 points 2y ago
That’s a clever one! But I still don’t get why he’d ask what payment method you wanted, it’s always up to the customer
reddituseranyonymous 1 points 2y ago
I do think credit/debit is easier for all involved but the difference is neglible until someone breaks out a big bill first thing in the morning. So mostly for the pun/joke
nceisnor 1 points 2y ago
Ya you ask "credit or debit" and they say "visa" a little part of me dies inside
Randall_Indypls 1 points 2y ago
Exact change or do you want to round it up for a tip ?
IonTheBall2 1 points 2y ago
I felt that way after I drank a few drops of food coloring. I dyed a little inside.
Evening_Woodpecker 1 points 2y ago
As a customer I developed the bad habit of saying “whichever is best for you” because as a small business owner that normally runs through large ticket price purchases I know that visa surcharges us more for some than others and it always hurts to watch the difference just vaporize out of my wallet. It took me a while to realize that nothing is more insulting to the average cashier than having to make that choice for me so corporate can enjoy their higher dividends.
I’m sorry for that but I do always try and tip well and in cash for the same reason.

My go-to joke for when someone is on a ladder: "you know, you aren't supposed to get high at work..."
no0dles130 1 points 1y ago
Happened to me once but they said I see you’re climbing the corporate ladder. Literally
ladyelenawf 1 points 1y ago
I think r/antiwork would find this amusing.
plushiequeenaspen [OP] 2 points 1y ago
I don't care if you cross post it.
But also - how did you stumble across my post from a year ago? You're the second person like this week to comment on it, so I feel like it must have popped up somewhere lol

ladyelenawf 1 points 1y ago
Holy shit, this is almost a year old! I thought you couldn't comment/vote on posts over 6 months? 😱 It showed up in my personal feed. No wonder you didn't put it in antiwork yourself.

That is a quality joke.

It is better than a "what are you doing step ladder?"

English man-get-out or French mange-tout ?
RurikTheDamned 1 points 2y ago
I worked in a supermarket and an old guy wanted help in the veggies.
"Do you like mangetout?" I ask.
"I've not seen the first one yet" he says.
I was honestly insensible for half an hour and he strutted away like a king.

Don't get it...
RurikTheDamned 1 points 2y ago
It's a joke that needs to be said aloud.
Mangetout is pronounce "monj two" which implies there's a monj one if you think it's a film.
