I've worked as a Wal-Mart cashier for over 2 years & in that time I've seen a lot. One of the things that boggles my mind is when shoppers get mad for the stupidest things. I've had people get mad for the following:
An item rings up for 2.25 & they complain that "The wal-mart where they live near is 25 cents cheaper!"
Asking me for the price of an item & then getting a hissy fit because I don't know it at the top of my head. I tell them that I need to scan it to check the price & they give me a dirty look.
Thinking that if they give me money for the newspaper then that's all they need to do but I HAVE TO SCAN IT first! So they throw the paper at me!
Getting angry simply by me asking for their ID if they use an unsigned credit card or for checks. In the time it takes them to pitch a fit they could have completed the transaction & been on their merry way out the door but nooooooooooooooo!...lol.
Sometime ago I rang up a customer who wanted to pay by credit card so when he gave me his credit card I turned it around & it wasn't signed. So I asked him for his ID & what happened next was totally unexpected. He gave me an angry look & threw a pen at me & walked out the store! People nearby saw what happened & I told them the situation. They said he probably had a stolen credit card. I'm just lucky that he didn't throw anything more substantial than a pen. My Co-Manager had a tv thrown at her & that's another story....lol.
