That is an asshole indded. I hope you put a 5lb bag of sugar on top of eggs.

or soup cans on top of his loaves of bread.

That is an asshole indeed. I hope you put a 5lb bag of sugar on top of eggs.

Could you have just ignored him, just standing there and staring at him? Or moved to another empty register?

Next time, stand up for yourself and walk the heck away. Playing the ignore game would mean ignoring his assholish-ness and going on your break.

[MsCrankypants]

ARGH! Asshole indeed. People seem to think those of us who work in retail or other types of customer service are automatons with no thoughts, feelings, needs, etc. ESPECIALLY no life outside of work, no need to take breaks/lunches, etc. It pisses me off no end.

Sorry he was such an ass.

Well tonight I got someone that pissed me off pretty bad.

We operate on a 1 till 1 cashier policy. I was going to take my break, and took my till to another register to lock it up (I was on express, where we only have 1 drawer per register.. the rest of them have 2, so someone can take a break and someone else can ring on their own drawer).

We have both lights and "Next lane please" signs that we set on our belts.

As SOON as I walked up behind a register.. sign on the belt, light off, a guy starts unloading on the belt. I told him FOUR FUCKING TIMES "Sir, I'm not open. Sir, I'm closed. SIR! THIS LANE IS CLOSED!" (yes, I did yell) and he completely ignored me. He even PICKED THE SIGN UP and put it in the middle of his order, TWICE. I saw him do it once, I put it back on the end of the belt, he picked it up AGAIN and started piling his shit on top of it.

I really wish I had just walked off, but I wound up ringing him up. And not saying a single word to him the entire transaction. Oh gee... I'm sorry I ignored your request to make the bags light, I thought you said cram as much as possible into the bags and make them 20 pounds. I can play the ignore game too, asshole.

I'm still pissed and it's been 6 hours. Fucking asshole.
