Get counting

By Ethan_18 - 14/12/2012 05:10 - United States

Today, as my 12-hour shift was about to finish, a young boy came in wanting to buy a $200 gaming device. His mom said he was purchasing it with his own money, which I found admirable. That is, until he took his piggy bank out of his backpack. FML

There's a saying "never feel lazy to count money, you'll suffer if you do"

I hope you refused the sale and told them to either go to a bank or a CoinStar machine. People who do that to store employees are inconsiderate assholes.

That takes 9 cents for every dollar though. It's not even worth it. It'd be better to roll it yourself and take it to the bank. That's what I do.

I used to have a clerk that would count all my money for me! I personally loved it

That just means he saved up for a long time if he has a bunch of change.

I would rather count that kid's money then have to deal with a spoiled little brat of a kid

$200 in pennies would weigh 140 pounds - not likely that was in his backpack. How about treating a little kid able to save that much money with the respect he deserves rather than being a little whiner?

He never said it was in all in pennies he said piggy bank which could've had nickeles,dimes or quarters or dollars or whatever

Why don't you count out the money yourself, instead of being an asshole? Just because the kid saved up all that money by himself doesn't mean he should be treated like a god made flesh for not being a pampered little snot. Do you like being made to work unpaid overtime? No, I don't think you do.

I wasn't aware piggy banks only accepted pennies.

That sucks. His mom should have gotten him to roll it or have the bank change it to bills. She's a bitch for not seeing things from the poor employees side

That's kinda cute actually. It's nice that some kids still buy stuff for themselves and treat their parents with respect :)
