  • "Where'd you get that?!"

    Today on my lunch break I stopped in at a new Hugeass Supermarket that opened up a couple of weeks ago. I found a sandwich and a small popcorn chicken at the hot food counter and went up front to pay.

    Just as I am approaching the express lane with my food and drink, I saw an employee exit the express line and wander off, so I took his place in line.

    (Hey, fair is fair, though if he'd come right back I would have given him his place back).

    A second later I hear him shout "Hey!" at me.

    Oh great.....he's going to get pissy because I took his spot in line....

    Sucky Employee (in condescending, accusatory tone): Where'd you get that?

    Me: Get what?

    SE: (that same accusatory tone) That popcorn chicken!

    Me:.....at the deli, at the hot bar....

    SE: Oh *walks away*

    Asshole.....there's better ways to ask these things.

    He works there & didn't know? I would have asked him..."Well, you work here, why don't you know?"

          I'm not sure which is worse -- when they yell "Hey!" sharply like what you described, or when someone wants to get your attention but has no idea what your name is, and starts shouting random names at you hoping to guess the right one.

          That last one only happened to me once, but it was quite unnerving. Ironically, he didn't try one of the most common male names, which mine happens to be.

            I'm not sure who to swat first - Sheldon or Hero...

            To be... A TINY bit fair... We carry Solo Cups at Red Vest.... I only fully actually FOUND them about a week ago, after asking about 6-20 customers "Wow, we carry those? What aisle did you find them on?" So it's very easy for an employee to not know their store carries something, or even where it is.

            Doesn't excuse his way of getting your attention, though.
            Look, a signature!

            If every cashier in the world went on strike, retail would come to a screeching halt, even if for a couple hours.

              p...people do this? for reals?

              I should do this sometime. "Hey! Marty! Jackson! Percival! Roger! Hunter! Chad! Chad! It's Chad, right?!"

              And watch them as they ಠ_ಠ at me.

                    My mom - when flustered - had been known to go through her sisters' names and then my older sister's names (that had lived with their dad since I can remember) before finally getting around to my name. I used to just stand there and stare at her, which probably contributed to her being flustered.

                          There's an 85% chance that you will swat Sheldon first.

                              Neither. Hero might swat back, and Sheldon, well, he likes it and would ask for more.
