And she’s supposed to know that special thing about you how?
Guessing that cg16 also gets mad if a cashier asks him if he wants to “supersize” that (or equivalents at other restaurants) or if he wants a “combo”. Did I guess right? Do I win a prize?
Once again you’ve proven yourself to be utterly clueless when dealing with people. Seriously, have you ever been tested for Asperger’s?
I told her to give me a second because I just walked in the door. I didn’t say I jumped over the counter and slapped her for rushing me.
I told her to give me a second while I decide.
And I do. I like being acknowledged when I first walk in, even if I’m still deciding.
Difference is, if the cashier doesn’t I don’t take it as an insult to me or the cashier being stupid or something.
Well first of all I am coming out of 97 heat and sweating so I was looking at the menu and wiping sweat. So it was obvious from all of that I was not ready to order.
So what. I like being acknowledged when I come in even if I’m not ready to order.
It’s ok you don’t like it. It’s just silly to think the cashier is doing something wrong when:
- She may be required to ask
- Some customers do like it
I just thought a person would see someone dripping with sweat and looking at the menu and wait for eye contact before saying “how can I help you”
And she may be required to ask or know from past experience that some customers get annoyed if they’re not greeted or acknowledged.
You may prefer she not do it, but it doesn’t make her wrong or foolish for having done so.
That’s the point.
Hell, one could even argue that being hot and sweaty means you’d want food and drink as fast as possible, so you could eat and rest.
Well I still don’t like it. So now what?
You say you don’t like it, but you don’t dump on the cashier for having done it.
You recognize it as your personal quirk (that others may share) and not a universal truth.
supermarket bags seem to be getting smaller which is not good if you are not driving
Smaller and less sturdy. They rip way too easily.
Yup and if you spend $50 you will have 15 small bags to carry out the store and put into a car or trunk of a cab.
And it’s because of pweshus snoeflaykes like cg16 that sites like CustomersSuck exist. The same entitled jackasses who sneer at and degrade counter people, cashiers, etc., also expect superhuman ability to determine who wants to be greeted and who doesn’t, and insist that their sacred whims take precedence over mandates from employers. After all, customer service workers aren’t really human, so who cares if they get fired for catering to the self-proclaimed Center Of All Creation by not doing things their employers ORDER them to do, right?
Only appropriate response is breaking things and yelling “Fuck Cancer.” Doesn’t fix anything, but it feels good.
I just figured if she saw my eyes aimed at the menu she would wait until I looked at her so I can tell her what I want. Now if there was a line behind me I would have gotten out of line since i was still trying to decide
Do you have any experience working retail or food service? I am guessing you don’t really have any empathy for them,but is that just because you don’t know what it’s like?
No, never had any interest in fast food or retail and feel bad for anyone who has that type of job.
