Discount Dummy

Joey smiled cheerfully. "Here's your receipt! Thanks for your purchase!"

His smile fell when the woman frowned as she looked at her receipt. "No, that's not right!" She snatched up a board game from the sack and held it up angrily. "This game is supposed to be on sale!"

The blond hummed and looked at the other already bagged games, then threw his head back and whined, "Yuuuuugiiiiii!"

Yugi came from the stairs, back from his break. "Yeah?"

"This lady has prblshamsghslkj. Goin' on break," Joey mumbled, then scampered up the stairs.

Yugi blinked after him, then turned toward the lady with a pleasant smile, deciding not to even try understanding what his friend had said. "How can I help you, ma'am?"

"This game is supposed to be on sale!" she shouted, throwing the receipt at him. "It was on the discount table!"

His smile fell immediately; perhaps he should have tried to understand the garbled mumble as the warning Joey had probably intended it to be. "Ma'am, if you'll please look to your left, you'll see the rack this game was on. It is full price. A customer probably put it on the table and forgot about it, and neither I nor my coworkers have had the chance to put it back. I assure you that this game is not on sale and it is, in fact, full price, no matter where in the store you found it."

The snatched her purse off the counter and screamed, "The customer is always right! I want to talk to your manager!"

Yugi scowled. "Ma'am, I am one of the owners of this store. I am the manager."

"This is terrible customer service! I'm going to call later and report you to the manager!" she shouted, storming out of the shop.

The doe-eyed boy sighed through his nose loudly, glaring after her, then turned to scowl at the stairway, where he saw his friend peering at him cautiously. "It wasn't time for your break."

"She scared me," the blond mumbled, trudging back to the counter. He glanced at the bag of games and frowned. "She left her stuff her."

Yugi nodded. "Yup."

"She already paid for it."

"Yup."

"And we can't void the transaction without her card."

"Yup."

"…So what do we do with it?"

Yugi stared at the games for a few moments, then looked up at the blond and deadpanned, "Well, you've been wanting that board game for a few weeks now."

Joey squealed and snatched the board game off the counter, scurrying to go put it in his backpack. "I claim this board game for Joey, King of the Kaiba Mansion!"

"Take these capsule monsters for Mokuba, too. He probably doesn't play anymore, but I know for a fact that he has a huge collection hidden away in the mansion somewhere."

"Mwee!"
