That time a BP cashier refused to sell me a lotto ticket

I was at a BP off I-80 in Iowa last Thursday, grabbing coffee before a haul. The guy in front of me hands over $20 for scratch-offs, and the cashier just slides it back and says 'no, you're better off buying a sandwich.' I stood there thinking about how that one guy broke from the script. Makes me wonder how many brand policies get ignored at the counter because someone's just being human.

Reminds me of when I asked the guy at the gas station for a pack of cigarettes and he just looked at me and said "you really sound like you need a nap more than a smoke." He wasn't wrong, I'd been awake for way too long.

Right on, that cashier sounds like a real one. Had the same thing happen at a gas station in Michigan where the clerk straight up told a guy buying a bunch of scratchers "you're just feeding the machine, go get a coffee and a hot dog instead.
