Job: cashier

Item doesn’t scan

Customer: “That means it’s free, right?”

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I’ve heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

      It’s been Earl since at least 1997 when Sun introduced their mascot for Java: The Duke of URL

      My husband (a 55yo DBA) does that. 😬 He also says nu-cu-lar and en-tree. I’ve brought it to his attention but he’s just so used to it and after 23 years together it’s a battle I’ve opted out of. As long as he knows how he sounds to people like me, it’s on him.

      There was a proto-meme back in the day along the lines of “URL? Who’s Earl?”
