I'm on line at the supermarket. Customer in front of me unloads an overflowing cartful of food haphardly onto the belt. Poor cashiers eyes get bigger and bigger and customer keeps unloading on top of other product. The customers asks the cashier if he has paper bags. Cashier replies he is sorry - but they are out.
That's when the fury breaks out of the customer:
SC: I have two orders here! TWO!! How am I going to keep them seperated if you don't have paper bags?!?
Cashier: Um, I don't know ma'am.
SC: Well this is just a damned inconvenience! What do you expect me to do now?? I want someone to get another cart for me!
Cashier: Um, okay.
I was pissed off, but the customer was a big mean looking woman that could probably slam me into the far wall one handed. So I settled for saving my skin, and just glared at her instead. Not my proudest moment - but I really didn't want to die that day.
Another cashier runs over with a cart.
Cashier: Here you go ma'am. You know, you could always tie the handles of the bags on one order and leave the 2nd order untied too if that helps.
SC: No, that doesn't HELP. Help would be to have paper bags!
So the cart kid shrugs, rolls his eyes and walks back to refilling the ice bin.
After beeyotch paid. She stood there staring at the cashier as I unloaded my stuff onto the belt.
Cashier: Um, yes?
SC: You don't seriously expect me to push BOTH carts out to my car now do you??
Cashier: I, uh...I'll see if I can get someone over.
SC: *in a nasty sarcastic tone* Would you? Oh that would be so very nice.
After ice bin kid came back and helped her wheel the carts away, I did the only thing I could do - is to make the poor cashier laugh.
Me: How much you wanna bet she's going to demand the kid loads it into her car for her?
Casher: Wha..
Me: And then, you know b/c she has TWO orders and it's all YOUR fault - someone should drive her car back to her house and put all the groceries away for her too! Maybe stay and cook some of it b/c you've all inconcenienced her so horribly!
I went on & on until he could barely scan b/c he was laughing so hard. I told him about the website...hope he joins.
