Just so you know, I work at a grocery store, as a cashier. Today, multiple crazy things happened, I had about 6 or 7 crazy people come through my checkout, and I got hit in the back of the head with coca-cola that exploded two check-outs over (which I thought was pretty impressive and didn't get upset). I'll elaborate on 2 of the crazy people.Crazy person #1:
I don't know what was up with this guy, but he didn't know how to use his debit card. I completely had to walk him through it and give him step by step instructions for him to punch in his stuff to pay for his groceries. It took him 10 minutes to understand what to do (and before you say "Hey, you might not be explaining it to him very well" I explained it like I was talking to a 7 year old, and it was very simple).
Crazy person #2:
This person must have been on crack or something. She demanded a price inquiry for every item in her cart (which was full) after about 10 items I refused to do any more inquiries and I told her to look at the prices as she shopped if she wanted to know so bad. After that her phone goes off and what does she do? She did everything but answer it. She flailed in the air, yelled at it to leave her alone, and she gave it a time-out (literally). Then came time for her to pay for her groceries. She proceeded to give me every card in her wallet, thinking I could get her points. I told her I only could take her in store club card, and whatever she was using to pay. But she wouldn't leave. She stayed for about 5-7 minutes checking every detail of her receipt to see if I had made a mistake.
So my conclusion of the day was that I never should have taken a job in front-end at a grocery store. Everybody needs groceries, whether sane or insane.
Today is a special. Today I am recommending music!
