Wow.
I just had some real life moments.
So me and my buddy are in WF buyin' fruit rolls and sparkling water. He's paying so I'm just kinda experiencing the transaction as an impartial observer. Well, its like $17.25 and he has 8 dollars in cash. So he hands the lady 8 dollars and naturally she she ducks it down to 9.25 for him to swipe on his card. This happens quickly. What he actually wanted was to do an even 10 on his card and receive .75 in quarters back to put his car.
He doesn't tell the cashier any of this. He just freezes up and plays it off. So I'm already kinda in internal hysterics at just how difficult life can be. But we get out of the store and he starts explaining what happened, because his falter was extremely obvious.
This is where it gets good.
Turns out the only reason he had the cash to begin with is because he accidentally pressed the cash back button at the store the day before and was too ashamed to have them reverse it. So he just got 10$ in cash that he didn't want because nobody wants cash.
Oh man. I was IRL cackling at how hilarious this was. I've seen this guy order a Gyro while tactfully dancing around actually saying Gyro because he was afraid to mispronounce it.
Hes totally a fully functioning human with a wife and kid.. but sometimes you just see through the cracks of people and wonder how they can even leave the house.
