Job: cashier

Item doesn't scan

Customer: "That means it's free, right?"

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I've heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

You're gonna hate me for this but since it's your job you might want to learn it's "duct" tape.

There is such a thing as duck tape though, It's a brand of duct tape

Not what they asked for. Duck tape is a brand, and is in my department. Duct tape is in plumbing which also does HVAC products, and is actual foil tape with a peel off backing, actually used for ductwork.

But that's not what the customer asked for.
