when they wait to reload their balance until they are JUST about to pay and you have a dozen other things you have to do (i.redd.it)

my favorite!!! they go to scan the barcode so i put that up on the computer and then once it goes through. “i wAnA uSe mY sTaRs”

HOW ABOUT YOU MENTION THAT FIRST. i’m just like ok and then if they notice their balance went down i’m like “oops must of been a computer error sorry 🤷🏻‍♀️”

I would hate it when they would try to scan their bar code when the screen was on the part where I have to enter the customers name, and their whole account number goes in the name spot, I liked to say, “sorry you weren’t supposed to scan until I asked you, not I have to re enter the entire order. And have you scan WHEN I ASK YOU TO.” Then I would get to sit there and make them wait while I pretended to renter the order, and if they were jerks about it, I would make them repeat the whole order multiple times.

I’m always like “oh I already sent that through, I’ve gotta scan it before, I can refund you and do it again but it’ll take a minute” and almost always they say it’s fine 😂

“How much was it again? Ok great, let me just load my card.” like i TOLD YOU AT THE BOX 😭

i had someone today give me their card to check the balance. never had someone ask me that before so i was confused (everyone usually links it to the app and checks there) this girl says to me “oh you must be new. yeah, that’s a gold card, you probably don’t see them a lot.” i responded “no, i’ve been working here since this place opened i just never had someone ask to check their balance before paying, i usually give them it after” (our store has been open a little under a year, and it makes my blood boil when someone asks if i’m new cus i’m one of the ogs)

I think she meant “newer” because most people don’t use gold cards anymore

"Just a minute, I have to load money onto my app."
Minute-General-2090 24 points 10m ago
this happened today, she HELD the line and was reloading her app card DESPITE our store (we are a license store) not bring able to reload it on the app. My co-workers told her three times they can't do that but she was like "I dID ThIs beFoRe HeRe" which was a lie, and she blamed my co-workers for having her pay full price for a cup.

politelymalicious [OP] 8 points 10m ago
when i used to go i would do it while i was in line or if there was no line i would park my car then go thru the drive. like how hard is it to be considerate of people who are expected to do things very quickly
dirtychai0218 8 points 10m ago
i had someone try to add their credit card to their apple pay at the register while i was also on food and there was a line behind them and i had like 7 things that needed to go into the oven
politelymalicious [OP] 8 points 10m ago

xaamanda 5 points 10m ago

Hate that. Especially when they they don’t have enough funds. Then say they want to use stars which would mess up the transaction.😞

This picture was taken with a toaster, and that makes this post even funnier.
politelymalicious [OP] 5 points 10m ago

Tiny_Strategy_7723 1 points 10m ago
I'm convinced just food customers in general are just f****** stupid
pumpqumpatch 1 points 10m ago
Bro when they do this in the drive thru. Because I know damn well they were sitting in that line FOREVER knowing their total. And now the people behind them are waiting too and they’ll do the same thing!!
