If you're that guy infront of me in the 10 items or less line with a basket full or groceries, I hate you with a passion. I've got donuts rising at home.

>> No.4952032

alright

>> No.4952036

Where I shop, the customer is always right, so no one would ever call out that guy in the wrong lane, not the employee or a manager, but if you make a sourpuss face glancing in the direction of the assistant manager over in the customer service counter area, you can bet there will be a new register opened within 60 seconds. So, basically, the point of a 10 items lane is getting out of the store fast, which happens anyway.

I just go to whatever one looks fastest, which is what I guess you are attempting to say. The only thing they can get mad about, I'd think, is not putting your spacebar there to separate an order. Thinking having a small order segregates you to only using the 10 items or less lane is the same idiocy that assumes ONLY handicapped people are allowed to enter a handicapped accessible bathroom stall.

No I was in one of the 10 items or less lanes and I had 7 items.The guy was getting impatient because I didn't have 1 item like he did. He sort of looked like one of those people with some sort of mental illness that makes them irritable so I kind of felt bad after I told him off haha

>> No.4952244

I wish there wasn't a 10 items or less lane. I brought up literally 13 items in a 10 items or less lane and the fat black cashier told me it was a 10 item or less lane and I had 13 items. She took the time to shame me but told me not to go to another lane when I tried to pick my items up. She then proceded to not say a word to me for the rest of the transaction. Nobody would have even been able to tell I had 13 unless they took the time to count. It was fucking ridiculous. I still get mad thinking about it.

I see this alot from pushy ex-new yorkers in Miami, in the deli or restaurant lines of all places. They act like maybe they are ahead of you just to see if you're nonconfrontational or will argue back. And, I'll either just concede, so I don't get my experience ruined, or I'll make a show of my letting them ahead of me, no you're not ahead of me, but you really seem like you're under the weather/in a rush/ need the calories more than I do, or some other non-compliment that should burn in their brain or embarrass them in front of others.

This.
And, it depends on how the lanes are staffed. If I have 11 items and the 3 normal registers are filled with holiday shopping carts stacked for the next apocalypse? I'll go to the 10 items or less, but I wouldn't expect swiping one item past a scanner needs a lesson in counting from someone being paid to serve customers efficiently and quickly. You pay their salary. You don't need any lip. No matter which lane you and your purchases end up in, you should be able to exit a store within 5-10 minutes, and have it be a pleasant experience. If not, you complain up the ladder, or shop elsewhere. I'm used to service. If a cashier doesn't look up, make eye contact, and smile, or ask me a nice question or two, or at least hand me my receipt with eye contact, it was a bad experience where I shop.

I don't understand what's up with this. It snows every year, and everyone knows exactly when it's going to happen. How do you live for years as an adult in a region where snow happens, and not be entirely comfortable dealing with it?

I actually like driving in the snow. With the exception being that you can be born and grow up in the Midwest and never have figured out how to drive in the snow and rain. How do these people exist?

Also, I love it when a snowstorm is predicted and people are tripping over each other to clean out the stores of batteries and emergency supplies and shit. How are you people not prepared for a few hours to a few days of slight discomfort?

they should put up signs saying "please return items where you found them if you are not buying them so we can keep prices low"

I do this ALL THE TIME at the self checkouts.
I also enter "1" as the quantity for everything.
If something is priced per lb I just ring it up as the cheapest item.
I also just bag things without scanning them, and when the machine asks me to remove the last item, etc, I just pick up a bag and set it back down. It always works.
I save anywhere from $2-$40 this way.

At my work they're cutting part-timers down to 25 hours a week MAX. Usually they get about 20.

The assistant managers there make $56k annually and I don't even know what the store manager makes because he gets so many fucking bonuses. It's insane.

Where I live we get 230 inches of snow on average. Everyone here knows how to drive in the snow, so you get people in small cars driving when it's snowing 12 inches in a day. It's pretty amazing how well everyone adapts.

completely different point, but
came back from 3 weeks in the US of A, and that shit was everywhere and fucking annoying.
Because shit's faked almost all the time, of course who could be that fucking nice and happy all day long in a shit job like this, and only a small percentage can actually fake it like they mean it.
