So a woman (me) walks into a bakery and says,
Me: "I'd like a dozen rolls please?"
Clerk: "Sure, how many?"
Me: " Um, a dozen."
- now come on. You work in a bakery. That can't be the first time you were asked for a dozen anything.
Me: "I'd also like 3 black and white cookies please."
Clerk: rings up my items but doesn't total yet, before getting them.
-she gets the rolls
- she approaches the cookies and says,
Clerk: "You wanted 5 cookies, right?"
Me: "No, I wanted 3. Did you charge me for 5?"
Clerk: "No."
Clerk: putting bags on counter, "Ok, that's $16.24."
Me: "Really? How much are those cookies?"
Clerk:" 2.50"
Me: Are you sure you only charged me for 3?"
Clerk: LOOKS AT TAPE IN REGISTER, "Yes, only 3."
Me: I pay her, thinking I'm never coming here again.
-I get to the car, I do the math, she overcharged me by $5.
- I go back in.
Me: "You did charge me for 5 cookies."
Clerk: "Did I? Sorry."
HELLO, YOU CHECKED THE REGISTER TAPE!
I should have known when when when the whole dozen thing took place.
And whatever happened to a baker's dozen?
I should have gotten 13 rolls, right?
No, that's asking too much of her. Way too much.

You know customer service isn't what it used to be... and nowadays, unles s the register/computer tells them, no one can answer a question!
bwahahahahah....hopefully the b/w cookies made up for it all!! happy mom's day to ya!
Guess math isn't a prerequestie for working in a bakery, eh? At least she apologized. If that had been me, the person in question would have somehow blamed me for the error.
I agree 100% with Kim. She took the words right outta my mouth.
Wow! How upsetting. It's a good thing you double checked.
It's your fault. You didn't count them out for her. What were you thinking?!?! *snickering*
Customer service is so young and sad now.
it is such a sad thing when our young people can't count, or read a tape from the register isn't it.
OH my!! I've missed your blog a couple times now... ( I've been reading late at night til my eyes shut.. tee hee).. and Your's always wakes me up laughing..!!
I HOPE she gave you FREE muffins or something!! One thing I can't tolerate.. IGNORANT people!!! Ü
Hahaha... yeah, I would have lost my patience pretty darn quick!
I know...why are some people sooo dumb?!!?
Did she give you the money back or did you get more cookies??? And yes, a baker's dozen is 13! Duh! I hope you got your extra roll, as well.
oh my gosh, this is as funny as your letter to the woman in line behind you at the grocery store. So so so funny.
