I recently had an incounter at work where we had a huge rush that lasted all of about 10 minutes. And a large threatening man came up to me and said that if I (who is a lowley employee not even management) don't hire more people he will never come back. He continued to scream at me about how long he had to wait which was all of 30 seconds. And I became worried for my safety. I would like to also point out that this man had only spent about $13. Now I of course would be devestated if this jackhole found another store to shop at. What would my little store do without his $13. And who would tell us when we need to hire more people. He refused to speak with my manager because my manager is also a large intimidating man and clearly that's not as fun as yelling at the five foot six girl with no power to help him. Do these people seriously think we would miss them or even notice them not coming back. We are one of the busiest stores in town. We will always be that way. If you want a slower store then by all means shop somewhere else. Where your $13 may actually matter to them. But to us you will just be the guy who left right before we were going to call the cops to have you kicked out. We have so many regular customers and I would miss them if they left. But guess what 98% of them are a freaking delight to help. You catch more flies with honey Mr. Jerkwad. I feel sorry for the people who have to encounter your sons later in life because I'm sure you're raising them with great respect for women. And loads of kindness. Now would you kindly take a long walk of a short cliff. I hear there's a great new store down there. :p

How to do everything wrong at Self Checkout.
I have some tips if you want to drive your self checkout person bananas.
1. bring your own bags but don't push the I brought my own bags button and then sigh loudly when the scale alarms. (we love that)
2. With every single item push skip bagging and then immediately bag the item and again sigh loudly and stare when the scale alarm goes off.
3. If you have a question wait until they help another customer and then stand there saying excuse me I need help. Mam Hello? and pretend that you are the only one there and they aren't monitoring 6-7 transactions at once.
4. If you make a mistake act like it's the machine's fault or even better somehow the self checkout person's fault. because they just call it self checkout so you can blame anyone but yourself for all mistakes.
5. Ask the self checkout person for every single produce code because you're clearly to important to look it up like everyone else.
7. Walk up and say "I don't know how to use these but the lines are long can you just do it for me?" because again you are the most important person in the world and the self checkout person is clearly an octopus with the ability to just ring everyone up at once. Just ignore the "self" part of self checkout.
And when all else fails act like as big of a jerk as possible. be loud and selfish. OR if you want to be a good human being and don't want your self checkout person secretly daydreaming about an anvil dropping on you like in cartoons. Then maybe don't do any of these things. Keep in mind that they are dealing with several people at once and usually running the front end breaks and organizing who needs to be where on the front end. Please be nice. We have all been in a hurry before but no need to ruin someone else's day! Also if you make a mistake don't worry we are all aware the machines are nuts sometimes and nobody is judging you unless your rude and then we'll judge you A LOT, Lol :)
