Math major

By idiots - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - United States - Fort Worth

Today, I had to explain to a customer that 50% off a $50 item did not make the item free. FML

I work retail too. I know that feel. Also, no, "up to 50% off" does not mean everything is exactly 50% off.

"UP TO" I have to explain this to, at a bare minimum, one person every couple weeks.

I had to do that a bit as well...but the question is were they rude about it

Try explaining that there are three feet in a yard, not five, and being called a liar after pulling out a measuring stick.

How many feet? Doesn't it depend on how many people are standing in the yard?

if you have 3 feet in a yard or 5 feet in a yard... does that mean somebody is an amputee? Or just only half in the yard?

It's little things like this that make you wonder if democracy is such a good idea...

Looks like the brain of that customer was 50% (turned) off...
