A woman not accounting for tax and broke going insane.

u/pseudoportmanteau Jul 30 '26

It's crazy how often this happens and they just double down. You tell them there is not enough money on the card to cover the cost and that's why it's declining. "I KNOW I have money on there, you people charged me twice!!". It's so fucking exhausting trying to reason with people like this..

u/Forward_Criticism_39 Jul 30 '26

Thank god for mobile banking apps that would allow for the supposed "double charge" to be immediately shown as not the case. I guess yelling is just easier than remembering your debit account password, sometimes?

u/maximum_dad_power Jul 30 '26

If only the problem was they really believed what they were saying then maybe it could be resolved, but often, even before they started getting irrational, they walked in knowing they probably wouldnt be able to afford it, they just think they can force the employees to give it to them for free or discounted because one fast food worker let it slide one time. The better question is why someone that broke is trying to get pizza and not going to a food bank? There are plenty of options to get fed if you are poor and Im speaking from experience. This is just straight entitled and lazy attitude that brings a person to display themselves in public this way.

I bounced at a club for a couple years and worked the door taking cards for cover. The amount of people that will literally transfer exact change to their card, then realize that taxes exist, and then get angry that taxes exist is insane. With a line of annoyed people behind them and annoyed security in front of them.

I used to work in a shop where you could put money on your meter key (if you don't pay your utility bills in UK they will install a meter you have to stick a little USB-like key to deposit money, else your power shuts down).

Once upon a time a guy came, put 10 quid on it and left. Came back furious half an hour yelling that we stole his money and his gf will now die because she can't charge her peacemaker(?!).

Turns out, he put in absolute minimum charge and the meter just ate it up to pay off part of the debt and he still needed to pay more to get his power back. But hey, was great to hear death threats for ten minutes straight...

There’s just a general lack of how financial systems work. I worked at a bank in the mid 00’s and you wouldn’t believe some of the shit I would hear.

“What do you mean there’s no money in my account I still have checks left”- they thought we would come take their checkbook if the account was at 0.

“This isn’t the $100 dollar bill I deposited last week”- They essentially thought safety deposit boxes were their account and every time they gave us money we put it in the box.

The general public’s level of stupidity is amazing.

As a teenager I had a dude threaten to fight me over sales tax. I tried to be as gentle as possible and even asked if he was from somewhere else like maybe another country or state without it.

Nope, dude was just bonkers.

u/Eldritch_Horns Jul 30 '26

I recently had a vacation with my GF in England (she's from the States) and she was amazed that things were always the price that was shown.

We have sales tax in the UK, called VAT. But it legally has to be on the ticket. There's a few places that can get around this, usually wholesalers, because they often sell to businesses that may be tax exempt etc. But generally speaking, if something is listed as a price, that's what you're going to pay.

I have no idea why the states doesn't do this.

Part of my new hire training is telling my new hires that if something like this happens, they won't get in trouble for anything short of slurs or swinging first. I want them to know that getting screamed at isn't part of their job. You can see if someone else wants to handle her, you can call me if I'm not there, and you can refund her and tell her she's not allowed on the property, and call the police if she refuses to leave.

I've been EXTREMELY lucky and never been stuck getting screamed at, I've always been given the leeway to keep dignity and walk away or trespass, so I definitely don't want my employees thinking they deserve to just stand and get screamed at for X dollars an hour

Used to work for QT where we have a specific way of counting back change. We count the change back first to the next dollar, then the dollars back.

So if a guy has to pay $28.37 and he gives me $100, I count back 3 pennies, one dime, two quarters, then 1 single, a ten, then 3 twenties ($71.63).

Once it becomes habit it made us ridiculously fast at counting back change.

Once had a guy fly off the handle at me because I counted his change back too quickly (he thought I was trying to scam him).

Then when I did it slowly he flipped out again because he thought I was being condescending.

When I did it a third time, he didn’t like the tone with which I counted back to him.

I quietly apologized and then handed him off to a coworker so I wouldn’t lose my shit.

He then complained to my store manager about my lack of customer service and I got a talking to about being more accommodating.

Yeah, I don’t work there anymore.
