Why do some store clerks tell you the final price in pennies?
Like, if my final total is $15.43, one of these assholes will say, "That'll be 1,543 pennies!"
What if I actually paid for that item with 1,543 pennies? He wouldn't appreciate it. He'd say, "How about you just give me a 20 and I'll give you change?" Also, when he said that he wouldn't say, "How about you just give me a 2,000-penny bank note?" |

I have never had a store clerk say that. What kind of business is this, a massage parlor?

They think they're being clever.
And personally I don't listen to them talk. I just look for the price on the register and block out whatever other bullshit they feel like spewing. |

Yeah, I've only had this happen a few and it was the clerk trying to be clever. It is usually an old guy that does it though so I try not to get irritated with him and just hand over the money. Maybe you should start carrying about a bag of pennies though...just in case. |
