Patron, after accidentally making five photocopies instead of four: Here's 46¢ instead of 50¢.
Me: Okaaaaay. (Silently: I wonder if she has ever tried that at Kinko's. Or the post office. Or the grocery store.)

Isn't that 40% off? (Yes my math really is that bad.) I think the extra penny is the insulting part.

Undoubtedly she's tried it, generally standing in front of me. And confusing the checker. Who has to get the manager. And meanwhile, we all age and the ice cream melts.
Sheesh.

This is the same patron who probably argues the ten cent fine because there should be a grace day...ends up getting huffy and peeling out in her Bentley...because you know...the ten cents was going to put her back some.

Also the same patron who prints pages and pages off the internet, but only wanted these 2, so does she really have to pay for those others?
