So I go into a Rite Aid this morning and as I'm walking in the cashier yells out "Good morning, welcome to Rite Aid!" Which is all well and good, I guess, except he rudely cut off and interrupted the elderly lady, who he was waiting on while she was talking to him, to do it.
I think it kind of defeats the purpose of the greeting policy if clerks are being straight up rude to customers who are actually handing them money.
So I ignore him (because I'm not colluding with that sort of rudeness aimed at somebody's grandma) and go about my business and when I get up to the register, I put my stuff onto the counter. He says how are you? and I say fine thanks, and I then open up my shopping bag (I carry my own) and put it on the counter and I say "Here, I have my o..."
And of course he cuts me off and says "do you have a Rewards Card?"
So I just pause and say "Here, I have my own bag."
And he says "Do you have a Rewards Card?"
And I say no and he proceeds to ring me up and put my shit into a plastic bag.
You know, plenty of times, clerks get in a hurry and just go on autopilot and put my stuff into plastic bags. I don't care. I don't get upset and I don't make them rebag. They're in a hurry, and it's not that big a deal.
However, at eight o'clock in the morning, with me the only person in the store, and after this little exchange, I very pointedly took my shit out of the plastic bag and put it into mine in front of him.
Bet this guy is popular.
I don't need my ass kissed, but come on.
