Ah, the sweet smell of vi... "Could you check the prince of this!"

Ok, new character to add to the menagerie...

~~~ Scent Lady ! ~~~

So, we sell those scented herbal oils in the organic section. We carry a few brands, needless to say a few of the scents are repeated among them. Meaning, each one has a basil oil, or pine, etc. You get the idea.

I've had this lady in my lane several times...


Me: "Hello how are you today?"

Scent Lady: *dumps a few items on the lane* "Oh, good."

Me: *dutifully rings up items... etc. ect.*

SL: "Oh, could you price check these for me?" *Hands me two little glass bottles.*

Me: "Oh, sure"

SL: "Cuz I just couldn't tell on the shelves, I mean, I couldn't tell. It's just so confusing how they were marked, and the man there didn't know, he said you could price check them for me."

Me: "Oh yea, no problem" *Does price check* "Ok, this rose oil is $7.99 and this one is $8.99" (yea, they are fucking expensive, we are talking about .5 to 1 oz bottles here.)

SL: "Oh my, um, ok, no, no I don't think I want either of them today."

Me: "Ok, no problem." *puts little itty bitty bottles behind me for some other
schmuck to reshop later, shit, they probably get lost half the time.*


Now she doesn't even bother with buying a few items, she just comes to your lane when it's empty (usually an express lane) and has you price check a few scents. Usually she doesn't even buy any, but at least she puts them back now.

Scent Lady, you are strange!
