I see that corn is 4 for $1. I grab 3.
"Corn is 4 for $1. Do you want to go back and get another one?"
"No"
She looks at me like I'm nuts.
Me: "It's 75 cents for those, right?"
She looks at me like, "whatever."

When I hear stupid questions at the checkout I sometimes pretend to be deaf. "Would you like your receipt?" "Would you like that in a bag" (when you have more than one item), "Is plastic all right?" (when they have nothing else) or the SUPREMELY stupid "Will that be all for you?" which, on the face of it, seems like an invitation to buy The National Inquirer. And I only hear it when there are five or ten people behind me. I am always tempted to say something like "Well now that you mention it..." then go to the back of the store and browse for about fifteen minutes, then come back and say "Yeah, I guess that's it."

I just has a bad one 2 days ago. I got some videos from a thrift shop. My total was a little over 2 bucks. I gave three ones. I was supposed to get like 75 cents back. The woman spends a long time on the computer looking stuff up. She gives me 14 cents back. I told her that wasent enough. She mumbled something then looked at my receipt. She keeps looking at it. She had no clue what she was doing. I didnt want to be there all night. I just walked away.

I once had to grapple with a clerk who gave me too much change, by $.50. I was only willing to invest "X" amount of time, in debate, before I decided that 50 cents wasn't going to "break" the company, at the corporate level.
They're still going strong.

It gets worse and I fear for the future. Last month I went to Taco Bell and my order totalled $3.97. I had too many pennies in my pocket so I gave the cashier $4.02. She couldn't figure it out. Then she tried to give me a dime. I'm not kidding. Usually the registers tell them how much change to give, but I think she may have accidently entered the wrong amount and it threw her off.
And this isn't the first time this has happened. A few times a year, someone gives me the wrong change. It's usually coins. I always give any extra back to them because I remember working as a cashier and the management wants your drawer to come up even. I don't understand why a business would use someone who is so easily confused and therefore a prime target for quick-change artists.

I've done that. They give you your 2 pennies back and then 3 more. |

well some stores and/or some areas have to ask 'do you want a bag?' because now they charge you for bags.
those cashiers who don't pack the bags you bring.
there is one cashier at the closest 'large' grocery store to me who apparently has no smile muscles. that i can deal with. i can't deal with her forcing me to pack the bags i bring all by myself. and then when she is done ringing me up and i have to stop to pay and then i have to continue frantically packing because she has now moved onto the person behind me! all the while scowling at you.
i have inquired about if the company wants the cashiers to help 'environmentally conscious' patrons pack their groceries and 'they are grateful to the patrons who bring bags and encourage their cashiers to assist. twice in fact. about the same cashier.

I worked as a cashier for 10 years. I won't get started on the stupid things I heard from customers. But in those days, we had no scanners, you had to ring in everything by hand and in the correct section (produce, household). They have it too easy now. No thought whatsoever.
They ask you here if you want a bag because we pay for them. Some places pack your b ags for you, but others (usually the discount places) don't. I don't bother to rush any more. I take my time packing - although not excessively long. You can't expect me to pack and then stop packing and pay and go back and do it in a timely fashion.
LOL about going for a walkabout the store in order to see if you want anything else! I had a customer come in one day at 5 to 9 and wouldn't leave until she was done shopping. The store closed at 9. Her response was, "I'm here now, you have to wait for me to be done."

I have my own bakery. I get up at 11pm one day & work until 5pm the next day. So mind you at 5pm, I want to close up. I will occasionally get a customer who comes in right then at 5pm, wanting to place an order. And....they have no idea what they want. |

That's like being in the long line at Tim's here (where they sell donuts) and not knowing what you want when you reach the front! And then asking.... what kind of donuts do you have?  |
