An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
Annoyance at Wally World
Since I had to go to town today, I figured I might as well go pick up a few things at the Wal Mart. I was there, it was there, perfect match. Well, my experience today went quite well until I got to the check out. I actually found everything I was looking for without too much trouble. Do they train snotty teenagers to be snotty cashiers? Do they teach them to drop a white tshirt on the nasty floor, and wad it up in your bag? I picked up some work shirts for the Mr, and told the little twit I didn’t want the hangers, and she said “Neither do I!” and proceeded to wad those up and shove them in a bag. Mentioning the fact that the automatic feed thingy was all wet didn’t improve her mood, nor did she bother to wipe it off with a paper towel as most cashiers would do.
I got my total, and paid. Dirty looks were free I suppose.
Now, I’m not one who will normally call a store manager to make a complaint. Everyone has a bad day once in a while, but I’m getting so fed up with snotty little kids behind the counter of anything, I just had to do it today. I wonder if the fact that I’m getting older has anything to do with it? Hmmm….
I’ve worked in retail in my prior life, and usually back then, it was the customer who had a bad attitude. Perhaps this is why I made a conscious decision to NEVER treat a person who is helping me, whether in a store, or a hospital, or a restaurant, I would NOT treat ANYONE with such disrespect.
Am I a fossil, a relic of a by gone era, when people actually treated each other with courtesy?
