Snotty wench in line next to us today @ costco.

Small BG, hubby & I have been going to the same warehouse store location for the past 10 years & have become freindly with a few of the cashiers espeacially S, who we had today. He is a great cashier & they tend assign new baggers with him to get trained. Today's newbie was A.

The hubby & I were in line checking out at said warehouse store today. I have never been at this costco when they did not have a bagger for each line. Usually this person will bag (if you have your own bags we have 3 sets don't ask) or box up you purchases.


So today hubby & S were chatting away while I was watching A to see how he bagged what. Suddenly this wench from the line next to us leaves over (b!tch got way too close,have personal space issues) & says to my bagger "I need you to go get me a big watermelon & make sure it's a good one" she then turns back to pay attention to her order.

I know for a fact she walked past at 5 different displays of fracking watermelon & could have gotten one her dam self!!

So without a word to S, the cashier he was bagging for, me or my hubby, leaving more than half of our stuff unpacked,A just left to go get this b!tch her fracking watermelon.

Lovely, so now I have a choice. Either wait for S to get done ringing & then pack our stuff, wait for A to get back with the princess's watermelon to finish packing or do it myself. I went with opt 3 as I didn't want to be there all day.

When S noticed I was bagging he asked about A & I said the princess in the next line asked him to get her a watermelon & off A went without saying a any of us. S was less than pleased & said he's talk to A when he got back.

I acknowledge that the hubby may have slightly distracted S from watching A, but A should have said something before walking off like that, right?

Yes. You don't leave your work station without informing your trainer.

A didn't know any better; it's a minor sin in the greater scheme of things.

I would have said to the princess, "His job is to bag MY purchases. Go get your own watermelon."

also, when the cx asked the bagger/expediator to leave it has a chain reaction because it takes longer to complete your order and so slows down the whole line. Thats what training is for though.

Notice she didn't ask her own bagger... This is all on Princess; A is still fresh & probably thought this was "good customer service".

I would have said to the princess, "His job is to bag MY purchases. Go get your own watermelon."

I like that one.

Is it possible that Princess was A's mother/sister/great aunt/geology teacher/parole officer? Perhaps he was so used to her ordering him around that he didn't think.
