I got another grump today too. A man about the same age. I was covering a greeter shift tonight, which is possibly the lamest job in the world. I stand there with a walkie-talkie I don't ever use (nor do I know how to) and basically say hi to people as they come in. I'm really there though to watch the front door, as it is on the opposite side of the store, so it would be easy for people to just walk out with carriages full of groceries.
We're almost closed. It's pretty dead. This guy comes in; I say hi. No response. He does some shopping, turns around and yells at me!
SC: WHY do they have someone at the front door just standing around doing nothing??
ME: Umm well they want me to greet people and to make sure no one walks out with stuff.
SC: *throws hands up in disgust* WELL they don't have people at the door at *Supermarket Chain A* or *Supermarket Chain B.*
ME: Well that's what we do here.
*2 minutes later*
SC: WHY are all these peaches hard??!!
ME: Well I don't work for produce, so I'm not the person to complain to, but it looks like there are some dark red ones over there on top that look ripe. [to self: or, you know, you could just buy them hard and wait a couple days to ripen to your liking??]
Needless to say, he ends up not taking my peach advice. But at least he leaves me in peace.
