I just had this exchange with the young man working at the drug store across the street from our business. I brought a Diet Pepsi to the counter:
Cashier: That will be $1.75
(I hand him two dollars)
Cashier: Would you like to buy a Scratch (like lotto) ticket for a dollar?
Me: No thank you.
Cashier: Sorry, they make me ask everyone
It’s a good thing I wasn’t on my way to a gamblers anonymous meeting!
