This entry will cost you 99 cents

So I just popped into the 99 Cents Store to see about tonight's dessert options (jealous?). Anyway, when I was checking out, the cashier actually held up an item and asked, "Do you happen to know how much this costs?" In the 99 Cents Store. But, to her credit, it was one of those 3 for 99 cents deals, but really, if you look at it and you work in a store that does nothing but combos of 99-cent items, you shouldn't have to ask that question.

It should be the easiest job in the world, that 99 Cents Store cashier position! They could have a cash register with just one giant button that says "99 cents!" (yes, with the exclamation point). No need for all those other freakin' buttons! How much is it? 99 cents! And this one? 99 cents! Two of these? 99 cents! That car out back? 99 cents! Your first-born child? 99 cents!
