Okay, I debated on whether or not I should post this but it really irked me. Bit of background: My fiance is now a truck driver and I have been going with him for the past two months or so. I prefer to stop for the night at the major truck stops for the restaurants but sometimes you have no choice but to stop at the mom and pops.
So we stop at a mom and pop in NC last night and I go in for cigarettes. I ask how much a carton of 100s is and end up getting two packs instead. Get outside and realize she gave me shorts instead. I like shorts but he doesn't so I go ask his opinion and he tells me to keep the shorts and go get a carton of 100s. I decide to make life a little easier for the cashier and keep the shorts, returning inside and getting a carton. She isn't really sucky during either transaction, more... disinterested and distracted by a guy sitting behind the counter. Not sure if he worked there or not, but whatever. As long as you don't completely ignore me during the transaction I don't care if you talk to someone else.
A bit later I go inside for dinner. They have a menu and stove but the lights are off and nobody's home. Oohkay. It's only 8 but whatever. I check out what they have in the store and as I'm browsing, I hear this gem between her and someone who entered the store (guessing an employee as they were discussing whether or not something was in the freezer).
It's also worth noting that SC's remarks were shouted across the store as he was in a different area.
RG: Random Guy
SC: Sucky Cashier
RG: Hey, how are you?
SC: I hate customers! I'd be better if they'd quit coming in!
RG: *muffled reply*
SC: No I mean it! Sunday is supposed to be for rest, not gallivanting around town! I haven't gotten to rest at all today! UGH!
I was just... shocked and slightly offended. I decided to go tell my fiance what they had and let him pick. Horrible selection too. He had a can of pork and beans while I had Pop Tarts, lol. But seriously? Instead of complaining about customers (there were 3 in the store, including myself) why not be grateful they are providing you with a job?
(And no, I didn't confront her or complain. I've been there... but I never let customers hear me complain!)
