There's this one particular cashier at my Navy Exchange that makes me cringe. And it's not that she's rude, but she's FAST; she tends to tell people, "Swipe your card", then when they start to do it, she tells them, "Hit enter!!", and basically directs them through the process before they can finish with the first task. She sounds more and more aggravated as the exchange progresses.
When I have someone barking orders at me before I can complete any particular task, I start to frazzle. I screw up. I drop things. I stutter - badly. And I feel like I'm disappointing them by not being fast enough.
This happened yesterday, and I spilled the contents of my purse, trying to fish out my ID. I dropped my credit card. As I was signing my name, she tried to take the pen (assuming I was finished?) and I wound up dropping it, too.
Now, I know I need to say something next time; the only reason I haven't so far is because she's damned intimidating.
Does anyone else have a cashier like this? IS anyone else a cashier like this? Can anyone explain this behaviour?
I really don't like feeling like I'm incapable of functioning when I just need to buy some groceries!
