At that point,  you wait for her to call the manager to explain to her that " items" are represented by the amount of scanning tags and not the amount of the packaged contents .

 

 At this point ,you can go back to the store, speak to the manager first for approval and then  go to her checkout line with the same items.

 

Hindsight  , you could have separated the amount of eggs up to the ten items and forced her to enforce her own rule and scan each egg or type in a scan code for each egg.

 

She probably worked in a rural store before that sold loose eggs and thought she was bringing her valuable work experience to the job.  ......

 

Always best to wait for a manager.  It's the 99% solution to most problems like this .........

   Be  a man leave the eggs at the shop, go to a restaurant and order a omelet.

Sounds a bit hard boiled .. my mate would've tried to make a yoke out of it by asking if her own eggs had been fertilized lately .. gotta be careful coming out with puns like that though or you may end up with egg on the face ..

I have never seen 24 egg packs in Thailand. Only 1,2,4,10 or 30. 
You are having us on right?

[alianware]

How does your logic work ? ?

24 egg boxes + 2 milks are not equal 2 items. They are 2 products or 26 items.

predictably a light, humorous post brings out a TV bigot expressing a racist ethnic trope.

A light hearted but accurate reply is guaranteed to bring out the judgmental pricks.

I went in 7/11 and asked for 3 packets of cigarettes, no cannot what do you mean cannot? OK can I have 2? dai ka I pay for them and put them in my pocket now give me one more packet, no problem so now I've got 3 whats the problem I asked her she just walked away

I went to buy a couple of Yaksa for the house, asked how much .

” 2,900 for the pair or 1,400 each “, I asked him if he was sure and he said “ yes “.

 

“ Okay , I’ll just take one “ and paid him 1,400 baht.

 

” Tell you what, i’ll take the other one too “ paid him another 1,400 baht”

Studied his face for any sign of realisation or annoyance, not a glimmer !, he either didn’t realise or didn’t care, I think it was the latter !!

While you are out can you pick me up a left handed screwdriver, a bubble for the spirit level, some striped paint and a long weight.

I have no idea how many eggs are in a tray/box.

I went to the next checkout that was staffed by the manager.

 

He was nice. 

 

He looked a little apologetic. 

 

He said 'She from jail before'.

 

Then motioned with his hand and whispered 'knife knife'. 

So you are glad you did not egg her on then.

[thaibeachlovers]

There was a brilliant Cracker scene where Cracker goes up to the fast checkout with 2 boxes of everything and when told he has too many, holds up each pair of same items and says ONE ITEM.

 

I don't recall if he won or not, but I always think of that scene when using the fast checkout.

 

They made such brilliant tv series back then. Tv is pathetic now.

Would it be on topic to say that I bought a 4 pack of donuts with mock cream today and the fast checkout lady didn't count them as 4 items?

They were so moreish that I ate them all tonight- every last sugary morsel and enjoyed every mouthful immensely.

If I missed anything in Thailand it was yummy donuts with mock cream. Those ring things with a smidgen of icing at Mr Donut just don't cut the mustard with me.
