    My brain to mouth filter failed today...

    So I was on self-checkout today. We actually had two regular lines open, which is one more than usual, but people were STILL trying to drag oversized items through the SCO. And when there's TWO LINES open to take your purchases to, it pisses me off when they skip the line and make me scan their stuff at the SELF-checkout.

    I blame the following on lack of sleep:

    A man brings a drywall cart up with two sheets of cement board and two 40- or 50-lb bags of grout to the SCO, because heaven forbid he have to wait in line.

    Me: You're going to lift all that on the scanner yourself? I'm impressed!
    SC: I'm not lifting any of that! YOU'RE going to scan it!
    Me: *hand already on the scanner because I'm SO not losing my job for snarking like that, and going into ultra-super-nice mode* Ahhh, no problem, I can do that!

    The cashier at the next register over said she choked trying not to laugh, because she couldn't believe I'd actually said that...
    It's little things that make the difference between 'enjoyable', 'tolerable', and 'gimme a spoon, I'm digging an escape tunnel'.

    Last I checked self checkout meant you DIY. Sucks that he made you do it and expected it instead of asking for help and being curteous. That butthead but nice save

          Because she shouldn't have said, "You're going to lift all that on the scanner yourself? I'm impressed!", I believe she means.

            I bet the customer was 6'4", 220 lbs, mostly muscules. And likes to show off how strong he is on the job site.
            Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.

            Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

              Pretty much. I can get fired for mouthing off to customers--and I've seen it happen, when one of our cashiers, normally one of the best, was having a horrible day and let a curse slip in a moment like that.

              It still felt good to say it.

                Its funny how actors/actresses get paid a buttload to act when we're all the best actors/actress. We always have to pretend to be happy and are never allowed to have any other emotions except being happy and helpful. We all deserve raises!
