The F*ck?

[AriaBlue]

Background: I'm a cashier at a Target somewhere in TX. We are in a nice enough area that we don't really have sucky customers, or at least I don't.

But sometimes they say the funniest things.

Me: Duh
SC: Crazy Lady

Woman walks up with basket, and starts to set a few items on one of the end caps.
Me: Ma'am, I can take that if you don't want it.
SC: Picks up the items, and walks over to me, at my register, but keeps them close to herPlease.
Me: blinkblink I'm sorry?
SC: Please.
Me: Please?
SC: There you go! Very excited sounding.
Hands me her items and goes about her check out.
Me: ???

The best part was the woman after her, who waited till she'd gone, then asked me if SC'd really asked me to say please for SC's items. After I lost it on the belt for 30 seconds, I told her that yes, the SC had.

She was all kinds of outraged for me.

I <3 my job, srsly.

That's great. I would have stared for a while then laughed my butt off.

*waves the TX banner* Yay another Texan!

And too!

Ugh

Great SC entitlement and logic.

You were supposed to say PLEASE and THANK YOU for asking her if you could take her shit that she was going to dump off in the wrong place.

[Snowbird]

So she inappropriately expects you to say please, but doesn't say thank you in return when it *is* appropriate? How rude! Which is ironic, considering she obviously thought you were. What a maroon!

She sounded like she was going to give you a Scooby snack there at the end too. "Say please! Who's a good girl?? You are!"

I posted a nearly identical event where I suggested a woman set her items down on the end of the belt instead of trying to balance two armloads. Sadly, my thread got extremely off-topic thanks to me pointing out some unrelated features (her size and economic status, to be brief) in the post. I was still a bit mad at the whole thing when I posted the thread (thanks to the rest of her behavior), and jumped on those points.

Also once had a woman standing at the end of my register, in the middle of our 5:00 rush (lines extending all the way across the front and back into the aisles, I was a little busy), repeating "THANK YOU" louder and louder and glaring at me until I turned around from dealing with other customers and said "you're welcome."

I got the "see, that wasn't so hard!" treatment from this yuppie woman at one point, because I didn't show her flawless manners 10 minutes before closing, but I can't remember any of the details.

That's great. I would have stared for a while then laughed my butt off.

Texas is a cute little state.....


back OT, that's hilarious, rude, but to the point that you can't let it bother you if you're working retail

I hate it when I get like ten billion thank you's after I just made change for a hundred. I do say you're welcome but they always ask why I am counting and it makes me spead up for the "you're welcome."

I had one woman who got all huffy because after my 100th you're welcome (to her, throughout the transaction), I stopped saying it. She finally yelled: I said thank you!
