Cookie dilemma - Page 4

Not Afraid · 07-03-2006, 10:20 PM

I never count my change.

Me neither.

I've got a habit of paying attention to how much change I get. Surprisingly, I can't recall more than one or two times I've gotten the wrong change ever. I think it might be because when I see they've gotten the wrong change, I don't automatically reach for it, which gives them an extra moment to notice. Or maybe I do some other semi-subconscious body language thing that subconsciously alerts the cashiers that they might want to recount.

Maybe you just look shifty.

If I'm already at my car or on my way home, their loss, unless I'm feeling particularly honest that day.

I don't really count change, but if I sense they're way off, I'll say something. If I'm already in the car and it's under a buck, forget it.

If I'm not at the register, I'm not going back. But I have corrected $20 mistakes in my favor at Panera before.

Can't do math (or find buttons on a screen)? Work at Panera!

Sheesh, I can do my total AND compute the tax in my head while the kids there find the right button to push. This is not something I do very easily. Something's wrong at my Panera.

I thought it was just my Panera. It seems to you need to flunk a basic logic test to be hired there.
