OKAY! LISTEN UP! The stupid little handheld scanner I carry everywhere just occasionally doesn't beep to alert me to your FUCKING USELESS LIFE! Other times, it doesn't beep because it's not an error on my end, it's on YOU to FUCKING READ! It's not letting you go on because you scanned the item and put it back in your cart instead of on the bagging area, and you won't look at the damn screen to bother comprehending the WORDS! It doesn't alert me, because so far you haven't done something that's screwing up the register.
Also, if I'm busy with another customer, I may or may not hear you beeping at me... I'm sorry, but if my attention's diverted, watch me, wait until I'm done with my customer, then try getting my attention calmly. DO NOT just scream at me, "HEY! ARE YOU GOING TO HELP US?"
"Not any longer, no."
Particularly when I come over and find out your problem is that you have something just sitting on the scale and the screen is telling you to remove it. IT FUCKING talks, too, you don't HAVE to read... you just have to be paying attention to what you're doing, instead of thinking about how much longer it might be until Sarah Palin does a nude spread in Penthouse... or imagining the scene when the hottie next door turns out to have a penis... (For me, that'd be awesome, personally, just to give a mindset for that...)
You DO NOT HAVE A GOOD REASON TO JUST START SCREAMING AT THE ATTENDANT BECAUSE SHE CAN'T HEAR THE FUCKING PAD THE FIRST TIME IT BEEPS!
In other news: NO, DAMNIT, THE GREEN GRAPES AREN'T ON SALE A DOLLAR A POUND, IT'S ONLY THE RED GRAPES. No, the sign doesn't say green grapes. Yes, they are next to each other, cause we only have SO much shelf space in produce. NO, the sign DOESN'T include green grapes.
Edit: as of yesterday, there's no sign at all...
Yes, I know what the sign says, management already knows about the sign, and they haven't done SHIT about it, instead expecting the cashiers to just flat out deny the price to shoppers.
Two nights ago, I had an older guy and his... hooker (maybe?) come through my line around close, and he argued about the grapes and the sign, and every. Single. Point he brought up, I responded, "I agree, sir, but there's not a damn thing I can do about it right now."
"All you have to do is go over and change the sign."
M: "And since I'm the ONLY FUCKING CASHIER right now, I can't LEAVE the UScan AT ALL! Otherwise, yes, I agree."
"You should tell management."
M: *FUCKING RAGE, where's a damn bucket of pig's blood when I need him to explode?* "There are NO MANAGERS HERE RIGHT NOW!"
