Even after sooooooo many years in retail, I still get really iritated by those customers who aren't rude in an outward way, but just lack basic manners. All three of my really big peevs came in today.
1. Ipod girl: Those people who stand at the counter listening to their Ipod (or other MP3 thingee) not saying a word, obviously unable to communicate in any human way.
2. Cellphone suit: Don't get me wrong, if your phone rings while you are at the checkout or in the line it should be answered. But when you are already on the phone and you dump your purchases on the counter there is no way you can communicate to anyone (except on the phone ofcourse)
3. The Silent Ones: People who are so self involved, or arrogant, or whatever, that they won't even return a greeting. I don't expect to chat like we're best mates but it never hurts to say hello or goodbye.
Sorry about the rant, but today just sucked!
