When pissed-off employees give you a break at the expense of their employers. I’m in the middle of a big discussion about this on FB.
-
The lady at Target couldn’t scan my item and just looked at me and said, “Just take it. I hate this fucking place.”
-
The liquor store guy told me just to take the apples because he couldn’t weigh them and didn’t care.
-
At a department store that was going out of business, a pissed-off employee only charged me for one of four crystal goblets.
What would you do in a situation like that?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I have been the pissed off employee and I also own my own business and hopefully don't have pissed off employees lol. Seriously though just take the discount the last thing the employee or the employer wants is to discuss a discount. Trust me as an employer we don't care about discounted items. The markup is way to high for us to care. As the pissed off employee I am probably going to quit the job soon anyway so don't put much thought into the discount. The employees know the markups and how the system works just as well as the employer.

At Target: Tell her to take more.
At Liquor store: Help him to his car with them.
At Department store: Wouldn't charge you at all.

@ProudMary OK. I ordered a new car back in the 90's once. After the 'running back and forth to the office routine' we came to a price. The salesman then took off an extra $750 off the price saying he hated the dealer and was going to screw them before he quit. $750 is a lot to say no to. 4 weeks later when the car came in, the original sales rep had quit and started a limo service. Ran into him a few months later at a car wash with his limo, he smiled and said ,"see, told you I was quitting".
Oddly enough, that just happened to me. I was in Petco and saw a dog toy I knew my Malti-Poo, Cyrus King of Persia, would love. It had a clearance tag on it. When I went to check out, it couldn't scan, so the lady just charged me a dollar; it was store policy for clearance stuff that got separated from price tags.
Cyrus loves his new giant mouse.
But on the contrapositive of this issue, if something has a price and the checkout person charges too little, I always correct it.
