I was ringing briefly today (not my normal job, but I needed to clear out a line) when this woman came through and asked me very politely if we had any Halloween paper yet.
SC: Do you have Halloween paper?
Me: No, sorry. Not yet.
SC: OK.
*I continue ringing her stuff in*
SC: Excuse me, do you have Halloween paper?
Me:
I looked up from bagging her stuff and realized she was asking the cashier at the next register!!
Now, I know that it's depressingly typical for an SC to ask another employee if the first one (or the second, or the third) doesn't tell them what they want to hear, but two seconds after I told her and while I'm RIGHT THERE?!?!?!
Other Cashier: Um....I don't think so....Dave1982? (she'd been busy with her own customer and hadn't heard the woman ask me the first time).
Me (sternly): No, like I said, ma'am.
SC: Oh, ok. That's disappointing.
No, what's really disappointing (but not terribly surprising) is your lack of manners, madam.
I didn't bother saying "thank you have a nice day" when she finished checking out.
Then......
.......and I'm rather loath to admit this......
.......but....it turned out we actually did have Halloween paper.......
