This SC couple made me SNAP.

[Evil Cashier 411]

Me:
SCW: SC wife
SCH: SC Husband (he's the worst)
C: Cool customer

(note: We're extreamly busy, but I had a smile on my face until I met them)

Me: *ringing up their items*
SCW: I can't seem to pick this 12 pack coke up.
Me: I'll get it.
SCW: No. you can scan it with your gun.
Me: I'm sorry mam. All our scanning guns are not working. Let me get it.
SCH: *mumble something rude* Fine. Then dial the code.
Me: I only know the codes for produce, I'll need the number from the bar code to scan it.
SCH: Fine. *pick up the 12 pack and slams it on the weighting scale near my hand.* ( I told myself to stay calm. Even though he would have hurted my hand)
Me: *I continue to scan and SCH kept rambling about how bad the service is here and how incompitent the CW's are. I finished scanning his items and he payed his total.)

SCH: *to me* People like your generation is lazy, incompitent, and stuipid. Now. PICK UP THOSE BAGS AND PUT THEM IN THE CART.

*I picked up his items and placed them in the basket. ( about to snap)*

SCH: now take them to our car for us.
Me: * I called a CW to take SCH stuff to his car but*
SCH: NO, I want you to take them not your CW.
Me: (that's it) no, I have a line right behind you and those friendly people need to be served. I can't leave my register.
SCH: WHAT? TAKE THIS TO MY CAR NOW.
Me: No, that's not my job.
SCH: Then make it your job.
Me: Sir, I'm done servicing you. In fact, since you're rude and you called me incompitent and lazy, don't come back to this register. You have a very happy holidays! (NOT).
SCH: listen girl you..
C: You shut your mouth you old coot. You're rude, and the cashier is right. From what I heard, I wouldn't want you to come back either. So leave. You're holding up the line.
SCH: *Says nothing and leaves with his wife.*

After that incident I thanked the C who helped me out and paged my manager and told her of what happened. She says that she'll back me up as well. So far there hasn't been any complains from the SC.

[Spork4pedro]

wow...no wonder those two were crabby...they seem to have the same stick up their ass!

[ThirdGenRetail]

Okay, what are they smoking to make them so delusional that you offering to pick up the soda FOR THEM, because you genuinely don't know the code and your scan gun's not working, is LAZY?

[Kristev]

That was horrible, but also wonderful. It seems other consumers are beginning to tire of the abusive SC's.

[notlovinit]

What was their issue with the soda? I'm just not understanding why they could possibly want you to stay away from their soda so badly. Usually, I can warp my mind around the twisted logic SCs use and come up with SOME reason for their behavior, but not this. The only thing I could think was that they emptied the soda box and put other more valuable items in the box, but that doesn't seem to be the case here, because I am sure you would have noticed when you scanned it.
*mind blows up*

I can only figure that either they filled the box with items to steal, or they just didn't want unclean hands to TAAAAAAAAAAHHCH it

[Lace Neil Singer]

Or, they were just nasty gits. XD

I always hate the "your generation is rude and lazy" from older people who ought to look in the mirror occasionally if they want to see a rude and lazy person. I even once had someone say to me when I was working on the checkout, "I bet you wish you hadn't dropped out of school!" Ahem, there's this thing called a fucking recession on; not everyone who works in retail now is a dropout.

It is slower than using the gun or typing in the code. These people wanted her to snap to and get it done, and exploded on Evil Cashier when she couldn't comply.

Kudos to Cool Customer!

[MoonCat]

They were rude, hostile, bitter old fools. Lemme tell you something. I'm 54 and I'M sick of older people telling younger people that they're lazy! From what I see on this board alone, younger people are working their asses off (for very little compensation) to keep this country running! Plus, the rudest people I've ever met, all through my life, were OLD EW's.

Glad you had a customer stand up to that old jerk for you, and your manage was cool with it.

I was going to guess that they'd emptied out the coke and filled it with beer. It's happened several times where I work.

Those two were such assholes. I'm glad you had someone there to back you up, sometimes those cool customers come in really handy.

[An Haddock]

Or, they were just nasty gits. XD

"Allow me to introduce my neighbor... this is A Sniveling Little Rat-faced Git."
"I noticed the slight look of anxiety across your face just then. But I'm quite used to it... that's the trouble of having a surname like Git. We did think of having it changed to Watson or something but A Sniveling Little Rat-faced Watson is just as bad, eh?"
"Yes, yes, I suppose so."
"Oh let me introduce my wife. Darling! Oh, what was it?"
"Uh, Stokes... John Stokes."
"Ah! John Stokes, this is my wife, Dreary Fat Boring Old."
"How do you do."
"How do you do."

[heyheadmaster]

Actually it seems to be the older generations that are rude and lazy.

Just a general observation.

And there's not gonna be. People like this, when called out on their behavior, reveal themselves to be cowards.

I've been noticing, too, for some time that the rudest people I run into are old people. And they're usually the first ones to bitch about kids being rude.

[Redbeard]

Good for you and the other customer!

[downforit2008]

What a stupid little asswipe! He expects you to ABANDON your register to carry his shit to his car as if you're his dainty little servant? With an attitude like his, I wouldn't accept less than $300 for having to deal with his grumbling in the parking lot AND facing a write-up from the managers for leaving my register without authorization.

In my job(pushing carts, etc.), doing carry-outs is also part of my daily tasks, but I've never had a customer who acted like that to me. Frankly, they're all so grateful for the extra help from me that they wouldn't want to push their luck as well! But this guy, it seems like if he talked down to me like that in a carry-out, I'd take his crap and drop-kick it across the parking lot!
