Did you find everything ok today?
Thursday, September 21st 2006

If there’s one thing I hate about shopping (and there’s at least 10 things), it’s the stupid small talk you’re always forced into with the cashier. 

 

Cashier:  “Did you find everything ok today?”

Person:  “Nope, but I figured I’d come up here and start checking out before I asked anyone where the bananas are.”

 

The secret is to look for the cashier who’s either a) just working there for a week to get the employee discount on his new refrigerator, or b) just working there to make shoplifting easier.  Neither of those guys wants to talk to you.

 

FG:  “Sigh… hello.”

Cashier:  “Whatever.”

FG:  “Agreed.”

 

The absolute worst are those places that make their cashiers try to sell you crap, or sign you up for credit cards.  I just want to give you my money and leave – stop bothering me.

 

Cashier:  “Would you be interested in saving 10% on your purchase today?”

FG:  “No, actually that sounds horrible.”

 

They should just replace cashiers with robots.  Or mutes.  Or normal cashiers with duct tape strategically applied.

  Try being on the other side of the counter...there is NOTHING worse than a chatty customer....oh wait, i hate the ones who whistle to themselves...and the ones who ignore your "how're you?" greeting.....and the ones who need "extra" attention because they are moronic....so little time, so many stories.....insert bitter sigh here.  (and a few extra '.......')

  I think it is even worse when the customer tries to convert you to his religion.  That is the worst kind of chatty.

  I think it's terrible when the customers wont even talk back to you- it's so awkward.
but then again,. I work at potbelly, so if I try to talk to them while the sandwich is in the oven, and they don't talk back, I have to find some way to occupy my time.
Usually it's by messing with the toppings in front of me, since they can't see what I'm doing.
