    Can you handle that?

    More WM tales:
    Can you handle that?
    SC SC
    Me: me
    I was cashiering and a lady approached with a cart full of items. She starts to unload the items onto the conveyor belt thing and opens with :
    SC:<snottily> I want this done right. Can you handle that?
    Me: Yes ma'am.
    SC: Good . They hire retards here, I wanted to make sure you could do the job correctly.
    Me: I'll do my best.
    SC: No, you'll do as I tell you!!
    Me: Yes, ma'am.
    SC: Bag the milk. Can you handle that?
    Me yes..
    SC Leave my dog food alone. Can you handle that?
    Me: Yes.
    SC: I don't like your tone. You should be delighted to serve me. i don't come in here all the time y'know.
    Me: I'm sorry..
    SC: Be happy i came to your line I could have picked another line. Now, i want all my DVDs bagged together . Can you handle that?
    Me: Yes.
    SC: I don't want my water bagged. Can you handle that?
    Me: Yes.
    SC: And the diapers. I want them double bagged . Can. You. Handle. That?
    Me: Yes, ma'am.
    <payment time>
    SC: It's credit card. Can you handle that?
    Me: Yes.
    SC swipes her card, pays and leaves.

      UGH. I don't want to know what's up her ass, but she needs someone to dig it out for her! Bleh.
      Sounds like she was the one with a mental deficiency. Or a verbal tic that needs medicating.
      Wait. ... Someone literally, verbatim said "you should be delighted to serve me"?

        Am I right that this was one of your old stories churned from the pages of your memory and you don't work at Wal-Mart anymore?

        I only ask because after reading your stories for the past year, I wonder how you manage to stay sane if you still work there.
        Too tired of living and too tired to end it. What a conundrum.

          Ugh, what a b****. I get customers with her attitude all the time. They're never that verbally, explicitly condescending, though. I would have probably had a similar response to what patiokitty suggested.

                Yeah, this is from the past. Her daughter actually worked at the WM and had the same attitude as mommie dearest. I studied theatre in college and a lot of the classes helped me cope with SCs. I just pretended it was a play.

                  Yeah, and Grape would have been so bummed for the rest of the week had that happened. Forever alone.

                  Me: Sounds like a job for Gravekeeper!

                        Oh yeah! First off I'd have given her serious s*** for using the term "retards" and it could only have gone downhill from there ...

                          Oh man... I'd have failed to resist the temptation to say "your total is XX.xx; can you handle that?"

                            Wait - her daughter worked there and the mother still said that "they hire retards"? Did you mention that you happened to know her daughter worked there, too?

                              That doesn't sound like a secret shopper. Secret shoppers wouldn't goad the cashiers like that.
