Hey!
I work at a store as a cashier, and I'm fourteen, and there's something I'm dying to vent about. Recently, I had a customer come through with a massive trolley of items, I think in total it was about six hundred and fifty dollars. Anyway, I'm about three quarters of the way through, when she's walking through tp the loading end, after finishing loading the items onto the conveyer belt. She lifts up this 2L bottle of cordial, to try to ask me to put it through last (for some weird reason.) However, as you probably predicted, she drops it somehow, and it lands on the floor, busts open, and sends cordial EVERYWHERE. I'm not actually in a positon to see it currently, because the counter was blocking my view. I ask her how bad it is, because I have paper towel next to me, and a customer across from the other register says "It's VERY bad." My heart sinks...
I walk around, and practically see a tsunami of green cordial. I walk back around, and ring my bell, for assitance to get a mop. The manager, and an assistant come over, and begin soaking it up with paper towl, while someone goes to get a mop. The customer, then lifts up the bottle of cordial, with about 1/6 left in it, causing it to pour out of a hole and says "Wow, this is leaking pretty bad..."
ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I never knew that madam.. Thank you for alerting me! I'll go call for help.. oh wait..
So, as I grit my teeth, and continue scanning, The manager tells me to close down my register, because the spill is a safety hazard. We get to the end of the transaction, which was quite a large one. About 250 items...
She asks to pay by card, I put it through, and as much as I'd like it too, this tale of disaster does not end here. "Error, funds not sufficient, contact bank."
Customer: "Oh, I'll have to go run to the bank..."
Me: Okay, I'll save it, and see you when you get back.."
So, I stand at the register, as cordial begins to seep towards my shoes, and watch as everyone cleans up, and I assist in throwing away towels, passing them down, and moping cordial up. She comes back, and bluntly informs me "Oh, I only have enough money to pay for $150 dollars worth..."
I then, had to unbag items, and void them off, (this is a tedious process of clicking three times, scanning the item, and repeating. I loaded the items back onto the conveyer belt to be put away, and continued for about ten minutes until the total amount was low enough for her to pay. She runs her card, takes the recipt, smiles, and walks away. Did I mention there wasn't a single apology through out this? Customers SUCK.
