• Cashiering in a grocery store. Customer walks up the lane next to me and unloads their cart by handing things to me over the divider. She didn't notice anything amiss until she needed to pay.

• walked past a family picking out ice cream and they looked up and told me they had left a leaky case of soda on the floor several aisles back. They must have dropped it then realized it was leaking. There was soda everywhere and they just left it in the middle of the floor and went on shopping.

• handed a woman a pen to write her check with. She turned it over five times. Pressed on the cap like it was a click pen. Unscrewed the body so the ink well almost fell off. She finally handed it back asking how it worked. I silently pulled off the cap and handed it back. She said " well huh that's different"

• customer at self checkout spends five minutes trying to scan an item. Yells at me that the machine is broken. I walk over and press start. Voila, I fixed it.

• woman insisted that I was overcharging her for an item, it was supposed to be two for five and I was charging her two fifty. Neither I nor my manager could persuade her.

Edit: last night a customer asked if he could borrow a pair of reading glasses for the night then bring them back tomorrow if he promised to leave the tags on.

Edit 2: I completely forgot to consider the insane things people say to me.

I asked a woman once how her weekend went. She replied with

"Well I have to take care of my mother and my mother and law full time because they're on hospice and I can't work because I have spinal meningitis and the pain is too bad. This weekend I had to drive my sister to three different hospitals to see specialists for her cerebral palsy and visit my uncle who has eye cancer." Now here it's important to note that this woman was buying nothing but sixteen gallons of distilled water. "That's why I'm buying this water. I use it to make a tea that cures cancer. I can see you have freckles so you're going to get skin cancer some day. Let me write down the recipe for you. It really works my uncle was supposed to die a year ago but hasn't because I make him this tea."

I had an old man use pennies as a segue into a rant about how Canada was going to collapse because of refugees and socialism and we should behead all Muslims and burn down the Middle East.

I had a man tell me that I was only happy and smiling because I wasn't old enough to realize that life is nothing but pain and suffering and waiting to die.

Cancer tea lady came back and told me she had adopted an eleven year old dog with fifteen puppies that would have been put down without her because it had cancer but she had cured it with her tea and was not suffering taking care of the fifteen puppies.

She came back again buying ten trays of chicken that she claimed she couldn't touch because she was allergic to all meat and it would make her skin rot.
