I found this open letter to cashiers hilarious. Hope you like it as much as I did.

My personal favorite is Number 6
6. Lastly (and just as important as #3), please learn how to say this sentence: “I don’t know why it won’t go through. Let me find someone who does.”. You are not speaking to an idiot. Telling me that the coupon won’t go through because the item is on sale (or producing ECBs) will send me in to fits of laughter. Telling me that “expires 10/26/08″ means that it IS “expired on 10/26/08″ will have me laughing harder. I don’t expect you to know everything and it also possible that the mistake is mine and that I grabbed the wrong item. But please don’t just make up an answer on the spot and hope that I “buy it”.
