a) When customers did this to me in my former career as a retail drone I replied with "No, actually I have to enter the UPC manually and there is a 15% service fee for doing that. Sorry." Nobody reacted well. It ranged from confusion to annoyance to near full-blooded anger once. How does it feel rear end in a top hat? You didn't care for my unfunny joke?

b) When this happens now when I am the customer I ask in a really dead pan tone "Is this where I use that horrible old joke about it being free?" And even then only if the cashier looks like they are in a good mood.

Fake edit: Thinking about it I had a woman behind me make the "It's free" joke when something I was buying didn't scan. I gave her the withering stare of confused annoyance that the cashier couldn't.

The worst part to me was how these assholes always seemed to think they were the first person to ever come up with that joke.

I had the idea for 'The Moonman' whilst I was on holiday with my wife in Mexico. We had been travelling around the country and were on the final leg of the journey, which involved a flight from Oaxaca to Acapulco. Our plane was a turboprop with two engines, one on each wing. My wife, who was sitting next to the window, noticed two chaps standing outside looking up at the nearest engine which, for some reason had shut down. A ladder appeared and one man climbed up, fiddled about with the engine, then climbed down and signalled to the pilot who started up again. After a minute or so, the engine shut down.

At this point, the second chap wandered off whilst the first one sat down on the ground and lit up a cigarette. A few minutes later, the second chap came back with a book, presumably the instruction
manual. The pair of them chatted for a while and then the first chap climbed back up to the engine and tinkered around again.

By this time, they had the attention of all of the passengers. There was a good deal of banter about it, but with an underlying nervousness. The crew, by contrast, were quite relaxed, and chatted happily to us and amongst themselves. Eventually, the first chap climbed down and he and his mate walked off with their ladder and manual, giving us a cheery wave as they went. The pilot started the engines, assured us that all was well and off we took. The flight to Acapulco turned out to be uneventful, the cabin crew looked after us very well and we landed safely.

Looking back and thinking about it, we probably could not have asked for a better pair of engineers. These were chaps who had to be able to operate remotely and without modem facilities. They could probably have stripped down the engine, made a spare part and put it back together again if necessary. Nevertheless, It was a relieved group of passengers who said goodbye to the crew at Acapulco airport.

If only we had known what Jay ahead of us, but that is another story ...

thanks again for posting these. Neat to see the behind-the-scenes stuff, even if I'm a bit confused how the airplane story ties into the moonman plot

Portraying a sense of disquiet is never exactly the most inviting approach. And we knew going into this storyline that it would be only a matter of days (well, minutes) before some readers would be using the word “Funkyverse” to describe current Sally Forth. For those who don’t frequent specific online communities, “Funkyverse” is another way of saying. “For the love of God, lighten the f*** up already!”
