The Aflac awards

A little background on Aflac awards. If you've ever seen the Aflac duck in those TV commercials, you'll know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, well get out from under your rock. Anyhow, I base my awards on the commercial where the duck is cleaning a windshield at a gas station and looks over at the pump and it's absurdly increasing dollar amounts. The duck then drops the squegee out of its bill and lets out a large HUHHHHHH!!????!!!!!!????!!!!!!.

To those situations where it is necessary to let out a HUHHHHHH!!????!!!!!!????!!!!!!, I present the Aflac award.

Todays award goes out to the stockboy at our local supermarket::::

Situation: Steph buys an item that is on sale for 2/$4.00.
It rings up for $2.38.

Diagnosis:After Steph informs her that it is wrong, she calls the stockboy to check price.

Award:He comes up and cashier explains problem. She makes him aware that it is advertised 2/$4.00. He agrees. Cashier says it is ringing up for $2.38. Stockboy replies "sounds about right". Steph replies that it is not about right. The hands-down winner of todays Aflac replies "What do you think it should be?".
