Today was a bad day overall, and the infraction by the sc was a minor one, but it was just the final straw in a very long and trying day. It was a damn busy day and as a result my lunch break was pushed back 1.5 hours. I was hungry and had repeatedly asked what the lunch rotation was (without really ever getting a straight answer.) I finally got to take it, and predictably, the food gave me energy and put me in a slightly better mood. That, however, did not last. This woman comes up with a bunch of clothing and a young kid (probably 2.) Now she didn't have any shred of any sort of common decency to tell me that her kid had chewed on the damn price tag. I got pissed and even this much later I still don't know how I was able to keep my cool. However, I did tell the woman "You're lucky I am not like most cashiers. They would've gotten real pissed at you for this. Just some advice, next time tell your cashier that your kid has chewed on the price tag." Now I know that wasn't the most professional thing to say, but I still think I handled the situation ok (as did my manager.) At that point, after I rang her out and she left, I ran 77589725839 miles an hour to the back to wash my hands. While doing so, I yelled out, where no cust's could hear me, "Doesn't anyone have any goddamn sense of decency around here?" My manager knew right away something was up, so she had me take 5 to sit down and clear my head. After doing so, I went back out on the floor and did something that I had never done before, and will likely never do again. I turned to my cw (there were no cust's in line at this time) and said "kill my register. I will not wait on any more customers tonite." It was slow enough that only one cashier was needed on the floor, and it sure as hell wasn't going to be me. So I just spent the last hour of my shift cleaning up the store (and did a damn good job of it.)
Even though in the grand scheme of things that incident was minor, it is a pet peeve of mine and just drove me up the wall. How does she KNOW her kid eats the fucking tag and NOT FUCKING TELL ME? She had better hope that she and I never cross paths again. I may not be as nice.
