Huh? I....uh.....what?

Ladies and Gentlemen of CS, lend me your ears! (I'll return 'em, I promise.)

Now, you know that there are so many SCs out there who complain about very, very stupid things. In fact, that's the basis of a lot of posts about this forum. But this one has to take the cake.

I was checking a person through today, using my pleasant demeanor, my fast scanning skills, my bright smile, and my usual conversation pieces. After the transaction, I notice the customer in question has flagged down my manager.

I found out later from said manager what in fact her complaint was.

I smiled too much as she handed me the money.

....that is all.

....what's wrong with people that they're starting to complain when you're being pleasant?

He was bewildered but amused. We had a good laugh about it after. "Hey, GW, you need to frown more!"

Sigh.

There goes what was left of my faith in humanity; that miserable customer crushed it with her miasma of unpleasantness!

[MaseMan]

I think that's a perfect example of someone just looking for any little thing to complain about.

It's amazing what people will complain about...

[Marxfan]

Some people treat pleasant behavior with suspicion, as if you're hiding something. I know you did nothing wrong. SC is just a freak who is doomed to be miserable and complain about everything.

When people go shopping they shouldn't be concerned with if a cashier is smiling or not. So long as a cashier is able to do their job then what difference does it make what expression the poor slob has on their face?

I tend not to be awake enough to smile when I'm on an early shift. I have a regular who teases me about it all the time--I keep telling him to come back after noon (occasionally I'll switch it up with 'bring me caffiene!') and I'll smile at him then, but noooo, he only comes in at 7:30 AM.

Sunday I had someone at the returns desk tell me "Smile, it can't be that bad!" Just as he said that, the pile of reshop I was carrying shifted, a box of screws fell off the top, hit the ground, broke open, and scattered EVERYWHERE. He laughed and said "Never mind, it can!" I had to laugh at that one.

Was your customer named Darcy, by any chance?

[Mnemjian]

It's official: there is no way to please a SC. I'm going to stop even trying

*Removes ear with a ~pok~ and tosses it at her*

...That's disgusting!

[infinitemonkies]

Y'know, there are plenty of times where I'm pissed off, dead-tired, or otherwise just not in the mood for someone being all pleasant and cheerful at me.

But I'm sure as hell not gonna stick around longer and make a formal complaint about it.

[DrasticSarcastic]

ROFLOL. Wow... I just.... wow. That's hysterical.
