Getting Train is Always an Adventure.

Each year I go to a local liquor store to get the Night Train Express bum wine for Kampin’.  Each year this is a treat because the store employees are not quite all there.  This year was the best, here is a rough transcript:

Setup: I brought 6 bottle of Train ($3.49) each and a bottled water ($.89) to the counter.

Employee:  Rings up but messes up and tells me she needs to use a calculator.

While using the calculator she is shaking uncontrollably.

Employee:  “That will be “15.55”
Me:  “That seems too low?”
Employee:  “No it’s right!”
Me: “Should be about $23”
Employee: “Nope I gave you 10% off”
Me: “OK, Fine”

I decided that I should not try to teach her how percentages work so I  just took the train for $15.

I am pretty sure the lady was tripping on meth.  Below is an image of the Night Train shelf at the store:
