So I head off to the General of Dollars today for another round of OTC meds since we all have the plague. Now we have several of these stores around this area and I have never been in one where there is a floor person. There are usually 1 or 2 workers either stocking or at the register.
As I am wondering from the soup to the meds I keep having to scoot around 2 older ladies just chatting away. When I finally make my way up front to check out one of the ladies said "Is there somebody else working here? There is a lady that has been standing back there for a long time waiting for someone to help her."
We were "up front". She was "in the back". Now I know the store is not very big at all but I still can not wrap my head around the fact that not 1, but 2 grown women expected the cashier to magically know some knob was standing around, just....waiting.
I said "well why didn't she come up here to ask for help?" The lady either did not hear me or ignored me and walked out. The cashier leaned over at said "I was thinking the same thing". Poor guy could not leave the register since it was lunch time people were starting the trickle in, grab something quick and check out. I don't know where the other worker went so she may still be standing in the back.
