i hate coupon scammers that test me.
these guys talk a lot while i scan all the items.
they bet on you losing track of what you scanned and how many.
at the end of the transaction, they give you a wad of coupons of about 50.
they expect me to just scan the coupons and have them all go through.
fuck, i can lose my job if they were caught.
i can be considered an accomplice.
no way.
i tell these fuckers sorry, we have to start over, and do the coupons and items 1 by one.
they fight it as much as they can.
telling me they are in a hurry, they have no time to do that.
i tell them, my job is very important to me, i don't want to lose it.
they have to agree.
so we go over each item one by one, looking for corresponding coupons.
out of 50, only about half are legitimate.
25 scam coupons.
if they have the energy, wits and balls to try something like this.
why don't they make some decent money some other way.
bastards, testing me.
i know of 4 coupon scammers at my ?arget.
one is a vietnamese lady in her late 70s.
another is a filipino lady in her 50's.
and the worst 2 come in group of 2. mexican and black couple.
i think they prey on the newest cashiers to see what they can get away with.
also, they come when our weakest manager is there.
they try to take advantage of her niceness.
bastards.

I dunno how the scanners and registers are programed, but the computer doesn't know which coupon correspond to which item?

@ThurzNite - that's the trick. these people are insiders who know our computers well. they insist that the computer will let us know. but it doesn't simply work that way. if a customer has 2 shampoos and hands me 4 coupons of the same item, they will all go through. also, usually coupons are for a specific product within a brand. if the coupon is for cheetos super hot, but they have a regular cheetos, it will go through. so, it becomes necesarry to check them one by one, to avoid scamsters. there's a couple of other instances where the coupons will just go through.. these scamsters know the computers as well as i do.. i think they are ex-?arget employees.
