It truly is an art...

Two guys come into the store tonight. It's pretty early in the morning, and they've gotten up to carpool somewhere.

The first guy buys some stuff, and pays with a $20. I hand him his change, we chat a second and he heads out.

Then he comes back in, and calls to his friend. "Hey, you know I got a bag of fresh bologna and cheese, if you want to buy some bread we can make sandwiches." The second guy says "Let me check the price of bread." The first guy nods and heads back out to the truck.

Knowing the guy doesn't know where we keep bread I wander over and check the price for him. I let him know how much it is, and that I don't know how it compares to a grocery store.

He smiles and says, "He just bummed $20 off me, if he wants bread he can buy it."

He bought his stuff (no bread) and walked out. As they pulled out all I could think is mooching truly is an art.

Next shift is Sunday night.
