At work in the Children’s department on Saturday night.

Am striving to show unflagging care and politeness towards the customers even though they keep asking me questions that make me want to stick my head in a vat of ice water, as is illustrated by the following exchange:

Customer: How much is the dress?

J: $22.68.

Customer: Do you know how much are two of them?

J: $45.36.

Csr: (blank look.) What??

J: Well, you just add 22.68 plus 22.68. See?

Csr: Is there any other discount?

J: No.
