'The advertisement... almost made me quit': Electronics store worker faces off with confused customers and Karens who didn't read the fine print

In the same way that dogs can sense an impending earthquake, this retail worker intuitively knew they were in for a wave of confused customers. You can tell this person, u/SushiThief, has been working in retail for a while. They write that while working at a toy store, they discovered that a major video game console was going on sale. It wasn't any regular sale. No, this time, the console was so cheap that it seemed too good to be true. And sure enough, too good to be true is exactly the lie the customers were being sold!

Although they could get a game system for just under $100, they weren't looking at the fine print. That specified that they had to spend even more money on other purchases in order to get that special price. But trying to explain that to a customer who's in line, anxious to pay and leave the store, can sometimes just result in a total meltdown. No matter how many times you explain it, it just might not get through to them, making it a frustrating experience all around. Keep reading below to see if this person quit their job or not!
