Custy Gets Special Discounts

I'm more interested in the line at the bottom: "Meat Is Murder Tasty Tasty Murder!" What's up with that?!?!? LOL

Putting aside the issue of whether not giving discounts based on looks is offensive or not, I think it's pretty easy to agree that being given a 2 cent discount for your looks is more insulting than flattering.

Also, lol at the bottom part.

If you're going to give a discount for looks, make it more than 2 cents! That's insulting.

If they're giving out discounts for looks, isn't that a sexual harassment lawsuit waiting to happen?

[Ted the 'flayer]

I get that discount all the time!

[HeavyP]

I would assume that if the cashier/waiter is throwing on a discount like that, he has to make it as small as possible. A 2 cent discount is easier to overlook than a 2 dollar discount, and still gets the point across of "Man, you've got it going ON!"

However, I've never worked full-on retail like you folks (I cashier at a bingo hall for a second job, which is pretty tame compared to these stories), so I may be totally wrong.

Heavy,
You're right. You can't give out discounts because you think someone is hot. That's asking to get fired.
What we were saying is that isn't an effective way to get the "You've got it going on!" point across because being given a discount of 2 cents for any reason is just irritating, but especially here because the discount is being presented as a worth of your looks.
Honestly, it think it would be slightly more effective to just write "nice ass!" on the receipt than to give a 1 cent discount for it and send the message that you deem it worth 1 penny. Not that I recommend a note like that, because, as others have mentioned, telling a customer they have a nice ass is asking for a sexual harassment complaint, but if it were I'd find the note the lesser of two evils.

I'm thinking, $2.99 for fried pickles! That's a great price. There is only one restaurant near by that has fried pickles and it's more like $5.99.

[perky]

I wonder if this was meant to be insulting? The person ordered a veggie bowl, and pickles, no meat on the order, he/she gets a .02 off for looks and butt--then followed by the "meat is tasty tasty murder."

To me it seems more like a case of snarky revenge than a complement gone wrong.

[Boho]

It's obviously a bar. It's obviously a joke. You guys need to lighten up a bit.

[The Last Archimedean]

How is any of that "obvious", Boho? Were you there at the time? No? Then don't make blanket statements you can't back up. Thank you.

[Skittles]

It might be possible that the 'meat is tasty taty murder' bit is from a restaurant called "Murder Burger" that is only in northern Cali that I'm aware of.
The Last Archimedean How terribly amusing to call out Boho on making blanket statements when quite a few other sommenters are doing the same. Oh I get it, it's only wrong when their opinion doesn't match yours.

[Larry Berry]

Just to nit pick, it really can't be considered an insult and to say that your looks are so bad they only deserve a 2 cent discount, because it doesn't just say looks .02. It says BEST butt and BEST looking. So no matter what the discount is, the rating is still THE BEST! Kind of like saying that when you get an A+ on a paper it must have been really bad because the cash reward wasn't much. No it was still an A+ paper. Like I said just nit picking.
