You don't get many of 'them' to the pound
Quote:
A supermarket customer was over-charged by around £5 while buying fruit and vegetables because the cashier's breasts were resting on the weighing scales.

Really funny! I don't know what's more mortifying for the lady cashier, the fact that it made to the local newspaper, or that her breasts are only valued for £5 !

Reminds me of the lawsuit I read about (unsure if it was real or an urban legend - stupid enough to be real) - a man hired a lap dancer - who bounced her melons on his head during the performance. He claimed whiplash and spinal damage b/c of their size and weight - and that they were used "out of control" on him.

ah-hem I've had quite a few errors along those lines. once, at a McDonalds my blouse had come undone and when the cashier read my order back, he said "two whoppers..." yeah *sigh*

When the customer asked the supervisor what had caused the problem on the way out of the store, he told her the cashier's boob had been resting on the scale.

At least he didn't say "two kids meals" or "two small fries".

On the bright side - you probably made his day

A bit off-topic, but this reminds me of a joke:

A woman went to a supermarket and the cashier rang up her shopping; one lettuce, 2 tomatos, three tins of soup and a small jar of coffee.

"You must be single", he said to her.

"I am", she replied, "you can tell that from my shopping?"

Spoiler:
"No, you're just really ugly!".

Ahh, I can see how that could be a bit embarrassing. Did you just tell them you were trying to pick up the kid behind the counter?
