This is an interesting story we would love you to read and laugh your stress off
(I work as a manager for a local grocery store in town where I live. The store itself only ever gets busy during the summer months since it is a big tourist destination. Not only is it busy but we are understaffed so I am on register trying to clear up some of the lines.)
Me:“All right, sir, your total is [total] dollars.”
Customer: *swipes his card*
(My register declines his card due to a transmitting error between our systems and the bank.)
