why wy?

One of my favourite authors, Kelly Link, has made her first book available on the net for free. Definitely worth checking, and her new stuff too.

One of the things I have to figure out at the new job is how not to sound suggestive. There's a counter with a slot, and customers have to scan the bar code on their ticket but the scanner is deep in the inner recesses of the machine. So, most people don't put their ticket in far enough on their first try.

"Stick it in all the way mate."
"Slide it in further."
(from puck) "Deeper, deeper."

And then, after the ticket is scanned, I say "Just come right through."

So I'm taking suggestions.
