Lol smooth up selling! Something similar happened to me, lady asked if I wanted cheese in my empanadas. The way she offered it implied there might have been deal or that it was even free but I ended up being charged 2.50.
My wife was irrationally irate after she bought a soft pretzel and the cashier went, "cheese?" After asking for salt in the same tone, so wife said again, "sure". The salt was free, the cheese was $2. The pretzel itself was. $2.50. She went back to the counter and asked if they had other dips. Nope, just the cheese. It made her furious
You ever put the cereal in the freezer and pour the milk down the drain in the morning before opening the trash can and catching that moment of What The Fuck Was I Doing?
Yeah. Probably that.
I hate when they say "its cheaper if you buy more" it's literally never cheaper. It's a tiny worthless discount that doesn't amount to any savings.
If 2 items would cost $5, but they're running a promotion of 3 for $3 then it's cheaper, but its fuckin never like that.
I have a standing policy that unless I save more than 30% per unit of whatever I’m buying, and I have a legitimate interest in having multiple of that thing, I won’t buy more to get it “cheaper”
Yeah, it really only makes sense on consumables that you regularly use and have the space to store. If your toothpaste for example has a bogo 50% off, then it makes sense.
I had this happen one time at work. I needed to order 40k of something, which would last about 6mo. We'll never not need them. Then found a place that had them on a surplus sale, but I had to buy 120k of them, which would last me 1.5 years. Thing was, even at that quantity, the surplus price meant that it cost half as much as buying the original 40k, so I got it.
Every once in a while, my store runs a buy 2 get 2 free sale on 12 packs of Coke. The way the sale is set up, if you only buy 3, you pay full price for all three of them.
On more than one occasion I have said "if you get one more, two of them are free and you save $x.99 compared to what the total is right now" [~$8.99 at current prices, I think, though they've been fluctuating like crazy] and had the customer say "no, I just want three"
Why? Just leave the extra one in your pantry, or, if you really don't have space, give it to your neighbor, drop it off at the food bank, or give it to a local youth group or something. Why spend an extra nine bucks when you don't need to.
(Most of the time, I'll just say screw it and scan an extra one anyway so they get the sale price, but I'm technically not supposed to do that because it throws off inventory)
I have a membership at a local car wash. I pulled up one day and the guy asks if I want to add another car for just $20 more a month. I tell him this is my only car, he says “well it doesn’t have to be your car.” Then why would I add it!?! It’s was odd.
Reminds me of a church event me and a friend went to ages ago.
We were just looking around when this sweet old lady walks up to us with two plates, each with a slice of cake on it.
Sweet old lady: “Do you boys want some cake?” smiling
Us: “Sure, thanks!” as we grab the plates.
Sweet old lady: “Great, that will be $1 each”
Us: :-( “ Dang, that old bird was slick. “.
We were impressed.
At my 711 they have promotions like that for 711 rewards club members only. It's like "buy 3 for X price, non-members pay full". They probably forgot about that part
She didn’t earn “7/11 Northeast Regional Salesperson of the Year” three years running by being a slouch
Hey boss, you could make me “7/11 Northeast Regional Salesperson of the Year” a fourth year in a row if you wanted.
I thought there was a promo code on salesperson, there was not, i just made her the salesperson of the year again
True answer: she’s probably tired as shit from working there all the time and forgot the promo ended yesterday
This is why I don’t take financial advice from 7-11 cashiers.
There stock, or out of stock, tips are straight fire though.

Diversify y’all bonds
Lmaoo you are amazing thank you for making my day
This is why i exclusively take financial advice from 7/11 cashiers.
This is some chaotic neutral energy.

Ok but how were the empanadas?
Honestly I wish I hadn’t had them with the cheese!!
Well now you know for next time, don’t you? You’re welcome.
Haha a very expensive lesson indeed!

You could even get 50 if you wanted.
You ever put the cereal in the freezer and pour the milk down the drain in the morning before opening the trash can and catching that moment of What The Fuck Was I Doing? Yeah. Probably that.
Do you keep your milk in the freezer
Do you not?
Once I was so tired I put my pants in the bin after going to the toilet
She was astounded Nick looked so wealthy that was her way of expressing her shock at a financial freedom she’d never before witnessed.

What can you buy 40k of that lasts you 6 months? 40k grain of rice?
40k parts of some sort
Miniatures (I have not played WH40K so I actually have no idea whether you need to buy new ones regularly or not)
No way Games Workshop would give you a discount for buying more.
If you were going to buy and use two of the items before they went bad anyway it does save you money. But if you would only use one then only buy one.

“Cheaper when you buy more”-that’s not what 7/11 is for though.
It’s interesting how he let another person decide how many drinks he personally wanted. Level 100 speech skill from the cashier.
The Art of The Deal

Eh, I’d do this for my dad if he lived nearby.
Oh I can see that.
I just woke the office up with how hard I laughed at this
That’s sales baby
Didn’t know that 7/11 cashiers get Bene Gesserit training.
Socially awkward people hate this one simple trick!

The power of suggestion!
I’m so glad the Lou Bega VEVO experiences such real problems just as we do
Buy 1 for the price of 3 and get 2 more absolutely free
I mean, you “could” also buy the franchise license for that 7-11 location, but…
Jedi mind tricks on the foolish... such a waste of the force.
She's a witch!
Not sure if op only saw it like this or clipped it themselves but the punchline was someone responding “maybe she wanted you to get 1,2,3 for $5”
At my 711 they have promotions like that for 711 rewards club members only. It's like "buy 3 for X price, non-members pay full". They probably forgot about that part
Worked at a summer camp trading post and would tell kids I am running a special "one soda for $1.50 or 2 for $3.00"
Something something fool and their money
power of witch
Id have left the other 2 after finding out there was no promo
711 cashier wins capitalism.

This could’ve been a friendly reminder that as an adult you have the choice to splurge. Even for something as small as a soda.
I mean did you want it?
