First off I'll start by saying thank you to the old blind lady who came through my line the other day. She was awesome and was the highlight of my week!
Now, I've already posted some stuff about the Club and the people who shop there, so I'll try to refrain from repeating anything. Let's start with one today.
Priorities
I had a group of people come through my line with two full carts of groceries. No big deal, right? It wasn't really, but I couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with these people when I overheard their conversation.
Apparently they have a relative in the hospital, in critical condition. The hospital is in a city that takes 45 minutes to get to. They decided that rather than go straight to the hospital they would stop by the Club and shop for a few hours before going. I don't know how their priorities got so screwed up, but I was utterly shocked by it.
You are parents, correct? Yes? Then try doing some parenting.
I'm fast getting tired of these parents who come into the store with their kids and make a big scene. For some of them, the kid starts screaming for some reason or another, and instead of trying to calm the child down, they completely ignore it. Yesterday a kid was yelling so loudly and for so long, I could hear the screaming after going through some very heavy security doors to where the money is handled. That should not be possible.
Then there are the parents who yell at their kids. Whether it's cursing or just threatening, it happens way too much. Then there are also the parents who let their kids run around doing whatever. We have cup dispensers at our registers. I've had to scramble to catch them after kids decide to push the cups back up into it and forcing it out of its holdings, three times in the past two weeks.
No, you may not just bring it around the register.
We have a rule that we have to transfer everything from one cart to another(unless of course it would be impossible to do alone.) It's not just a rule though, it's enforced like a law, and we get in a lot of trouble if we don't do it. Now, I don't like it anymore than anyone else, but don't get pissed at me because you have to lift something off the bottom of the cart and put it on the belt. Really, we wouldn't have to do this is it weren't for the fact that people like to steal dvds and cds by hiding them under those big things and trying to bring them around the register. Yes we have the handheld scanners. They are meant only for the very large items that can't be put on the belt.
I DON"T KNOW
No, I do not know what it is you are looking for because you have failed to give me any useful description of it. You have even failed at remembering what sort of item it is. Could it be cereal...or maybe detergent...or possibly even a stereo? And yes, colors would help...if you could remember more than one of them.
Also, yes we do have cards that work like credit cards. That's what we get for partnering with a credit company. However, simply because you have a card that works as both a member card and credit card, that does not mean I know how you want to pay, so don't just stand there staring blankly at the little card terminal, waiting for the transaction to be processed. You need to tell me how you want to pay. If you want to pay using your special card, then TELL ME. I cannot read your mind, and even if I could, I doubt I'd be able to glean much of anything from it. use the words you learned a looong time ago when you were a youngster, and tell me how you want to pay for your crap, otherwise we'll just keep standing here until it sinks in to your thick skull that you have to tell me.
No, I can not check the back for more. Believe it or not, we don't store anything in the back. Everything we have is on the shelves, and if the floor level is out of something we go get a forklift and get down the other wrapped pallets above it with the item. And get down. Trying to climb up the shelves to get to something that isn't on the floor where you want it to be will only lead to disaster. BTW, thank you for destroying that pallet and all those jars of pickles. Unfortunately, it seems that you didn't fall on your head and remove your stupidity from the gene pool, so please, don't try to procreate. There's enough stupid as is.
Finally, no, I will not let you check out, I don't care who nicely you ask or how much you beg and plead. My shift is over, my register has multiple closed signs displayed on it now, and I'm done working for today and I will not stay longer just for you. That's right. You are not special. Deal with it.
