Job: cashier

Item doesn't scan

Customer: "That means it's free, right?"

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I've heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

Im a locksmith.

Customer: Do you make duplicates? Me: Yes C: How much? M: Depends on the type of key C: The normal one M: -_-

Or, after opening a customers door who was locked out:

C: Why so expensive tho? It only took you five minutes! M: -_- (Thats exactly why you dumb fuck, and I told you the price beforehand)

I also hate when people tries to haggle the price because I know for a fact that Im the cheapest locksmith in the area.

Tbf I'd be kinda pissed (at the situation not you) if I called a locksmith and they just whipped out a Carolina roller and got in in .3s lol.

"Goddammit where can I get one of those?!"

(Internet of course. I already have a long and a portable.)

Yep, hooks, shims, combs, etc. I love them, customers hate them. Get a better door/lock is what I tell them, but your next lock out might be more expensive.

Oh for sure. I meet in the middle, my deadbolt is alright, and it's always locked unless I'm actively using the door, if I walk out without my keys I'll get locked out because of the knob, but I can just shrum my way right past the knob lock and retrieve my keys so I can lock the bolt on the way out, and be good to go!

The only thing I need a locksmith for is I have a safe that needs to be re-locked with a dial instead of digital.
