At some point, we realized that the Disco “Hypermercado” gives a 10% discount for ten bottles of wine. In general, Disco has little to recommend it beyond perhaps-lower prices than Tienda Inglesa. But for a deal on wine, it’s fine. Unlike Tienda Inglesa — which has thicker bags — the cashiers at Disco put three, not two, bottles of wine in each thinner plastic shopping bag.
So what happens when you buy nothing but ten bottles of wine?
Three bottles in the first bag. Three bottles in the second bag. Clearly what remains are four bottles. Two more bags. So — ?
Three bottles in the third bag. One bottle in the fourth bag.
This is not an isolated incident.
Why would a cashier not put two bottles in the last two bags? What am I missing here?
It´s in the training manual, in the section just before they teach them to put the paper receipt in the customers hand and then dump the coins on top.
