Me: "Why is my raise so small? It's not even half of what I was promised."
Manager: "The store is still catching up, so we can't afford the raise we'd previously quoted. If the store continues on its upward track, you'll get your raise at your one-year evaluation."

I'm going down an aisle when I see a customer opening a packet of popcorn.
Me: "Sir! You can't open those until you buy them!"
Customer: "Nope! They got these coupons inside them, see?"

Customer: "It's real money! You have to take it! It's my right!"
Me: "Sir, no one is questioning the bill; I am sure it's real. But for reasons already explained, we can no longer accept hundreds, and especially right at opening when we only have a hundred in change in the register."

I’m sitting on a park bench reading when a kite gets stuck in a tall oak tree. The owner, a guy in his twenties, stares up in horror like he’s just lost a family heirloom.
Kite Guy: "No, no, no, come on!"
His friends gather around and immediately start forming a rescue committee.

notalwaysright_feed) wrote2025-12-10 12:00 pmCall me old-fashioned, but I like to get my paper receipts to track and double-check my expenses. So when the self-checkout told me “pick up your receipt from the attendant” instead of just printing my receipt, I dutifully pressed the “call for an attendant” button.
