    Wow, a true flake...

    Hey there everyone, on this fine day I had the day off which means I went shopping someplace other than my big box store. I got the groceries I needed and a cake that was decorated very nicely. I go to the front of the store to check of the store and notice a short line.

    Well I found out why it was so short. She sucked!! She was laughing and talking to the cashier at the register beside her, which is fine, but she was paying absolutely no attention to the customer, just blindly scanning stuff and shoving them into bags, not even paying the slightest amount of attention untill she had to take the money from them.

    Then came me. She scanned my grocerys in the same manner, and when it came to the lovely cake, she just blindly slid it across the sensor, over the bag carasel and splat onto the floor. It popped out of the plastic case, and made a lovely decoration mess.

    Me:

    Cashier: Huh? Whoops, wanna like, go grab another one?

    Me: *staring at the mess on the floor that she seems not to have noticed*

    Thankfully a supervisior popped up and shut off her light, directed the other customer to the friends line, had a bagger go get me another cake, and called for maitenance in one fell swoop, all while apologizeing to me and making the girl apologize.

    I thanked her and then left. So I witnessed a flake and an effective supervisor.

    Was she wildly smacking and popping her bubblegum and saying "Like" after every other word?

    Unfortunately, I worked with a lot of kids like that at the grocery store. They gave the other kids a bad rep......

    When we didn't have customers, we were supposed to go to the front of our registers (by the gossip magazines and impulse items) and wave customers over as they came. Some of the Betsies and Susies never followed that rule and would just chit chat all shift long, or until one them went to break and then got sent elsewhere when they got back.

      At my store, you sometimes find registers with lights on with no one there because the cashier is elsewhere, usually at another register talking with friends. They usually end up getting fired really quick.

          Oh, I hate those...the "say "Like" after every other word" girls. Sometimes women. I want to destroy them!

            Yeah to me "flake" is ... well like Jon Anderson of Yes. Very flakey... (but said with affection).

            but the girl... sounds more like she's just lazy and hasn't grown up yet

              I cannot stand it when people say "like" every other word. Makes them sound unintelligent. I've even counted once in a class and one girl said it over 35 times in a two minute response. 'Twas painful.
              At work, I've seen some of the cashiers sitting on the carousels the bags sit on just chatting away when there were virtually no customers. Lazy!! We'd get our butts reamed if we stop to take a breather but then again our new assist mgr is a royal pain in the buttocks and getting worse. But that is a rant for another day.

                That man is wonderful (/OT)

                I'm all for being friendly with the people you work with, but that girl acted like she really didn't need her job. I'm sure there's someone else out there that could take it instead! If I'd met her and didn't have a line behind me, I'd treat her the same way as she treated me. I'd put on my headset or something and looked another way when I gave her the money. Heck, I'd might just lay the money down instead of giving them to her. Those kind of people are annoying no matter which side of the counter I'm on.
