        Could go the other way though. Ask them nicely if they’d be willing to free up their heap of inventory, and if they return you a cart overflow, you know you’ve stumbled upon the ultimate zero day coupon.

      I give money to cashier, change comes out of coin dispenser. I say “Looks like I won again!”, cashier dies a little inside.

      Every time.

        Long long ago in a callcenter not too far away, I made a guy choke on his drink. As required, I asked if there was anything else he needed before I ended the call, to which he replied “the winning lottery numbers?” I said “if I had those, I wouldn’t be talking to you.”

      I worked in groceries story when I was younger.

      But funily enough, it’s probably one of the rare times I’d have answered “yes”!

      We got a policy here where anything mislabelled under 10$ is free for the first item. Anything over 10$ gets a 10$ rebate.

      My understanding is that it was put in place a while ago when stores stopped labelling individual items to keep them in check and ensure that consumers had a recourse in case of mistake.

      NULL being “no money” by any definition, and the regular price for this probably being under 10$… well, it’s probably free!
