Today, working as a cashier, I had a customer come through and ask to purchase a bag of ice. I asked, "Eight pound or twenty pound?", referring to the clearly marked weight of the bags. He replied, "What's the difference?" FML

Maybe the customer meant the difference in price?

It just seems like with the increase in technology people lose more common sense ......or the concepts of elementary math and grammar as in this case. Fly OP

Ah, the "joys" of retail. You have to stand behind a till (or cash register, if you prefer) and serve hundreds of people, internally shuddering at the notion that their collective IQ probably doesn't even reach 100.

Get off your high horse. I'm sure YOU go shopping at grocery stores, too. Unless you're too high and mighty for that as well.

#26 unless you've worked as a cashier or waitress dealing with the public maybe you should get of your own high horse.

Some places actually don't so that's a valid question.

I was at McDonalds when someone asked me where he was. I responded with, "McDonalds Sir." Another time I was asked if the Iced Coffee had coffee in it....

#46 I'd forgive that easily if they used metric measurements and had not been native to America.

I know some places use pounds as their currency, so depending on where they are from, they could have got confused since they are new or visiting.
