Don't Bag My Items

[purplecat41877]

Yesterday, I had a customer who brought her own bags. When she used up her bags, I started bagging the remaining items. She got offensive with the way I was packing and told me that she brought her own bags for a reason. She also told me that she didn't want one item in a bag. The only items I put in a bag by itself were dish soap and eggs (not in the same bag). I unbagged everything I did and just let her pack the rest of her groceries herself.

Wanna bet she'll complain her food tastes like soap later?

You shouldn't be mad purplecat. She saved you the hasle of trying to read her mind. Should be glad in fact cause if anything is damaged it's all her own damn fault.

reminds me of the "not always right" i read where the customer was offended no matter what the clerk did.
offended that the clerk commented that it looked like she was making pies
offended that the clerk continued to "look" at the groceries as she bagged them
offended that the clerk obeyed her and started bagging with her eyes closed

sometimes no matter what you do, they'll be offended

If I'm shopping somewhere where my groceries are bagged for me, and I didn't bring enough bags, I just suck it up and hope that no one I know sees me walking home with the plastic ones. If I have special requests for bagging I make sure to say them IN ADVANCE. I'm not sure why that's such a difficult thing to do. (And I'm the person who will get handed my stuff in a plastic bag before remembering to tell them that I don't need a bag, so it's not like I'm on the ball).

That always bugged me as a cashier, when the customer would throw a fit over how I bagged their stuff. Worse was when the customer would wait until it was half-done or more before voicing a complaint, even though they watched me the whole way and knew what I was doing. Worst was when the customer would tell me how to bag their things, then rebag it anyway.

What gets me as a customer is when I bring my cloth bags and put them first on the belt, before my purchases, so the cashier can start bagging into the cloth right away...and then the cashier sets them aside and starts bagging into plastic anyway.

That's because they are suffering from Offensenitivity

vloglady -- I wish I could still believe that that level of stupidity were not possible in this world...But I worked in retail for far too long. and the memory adjustment devices aren't quite perfected yet...If you are thinking, "what devices", that just means that yours actually worked...
