I went to the grocery store last night with a list longer then Santa's beard.I needed 2 carts one for my meat the other for my bread flour etc........I purchased all of my items then moved to check out to begin the process praying my $300 was enough to pay for the food.I probably should have dressed better (i was in sweats and a tee shirt)because the clerk looked surprised when pulled out cash to pay for my food and had to reapply the taxes that would have came off with foodstamps.The clerk was very rude before hand actually tossing my things without care,like my bread was under some of my meat and my eggs were almost thrown over.After i paid for my things i held up the line by checking my eggs and bread to the dismay of the clerk.I walked out of the store smh at how she stayed with a job when people were begging for employment.I also didn't want to make a scene.What would you have done

These kinds of things make me furious Rena and I'm a very calm person. You handled it well though, I don't know what I would have done. But we have to thank Katt for the inspiring story, that one should be told to children in school.

There was a time when I was very quiet and took the abuse given by these "customer service" people. I had enough at one point and now I don't hold back. The most recent was at the doctor. The receptionist was very abrupt and it rubbed me the wrong way. I told her that I thought she was rude. Just as we should consider the day they're having they should consider ours. After all, it is their job to provide "customer service". The subject just makes me so mad. You did handle it well rena. Holding up the line to check your items was the cherry on top. I couldn't have done it better myself! 

Rena.. i work in a grocery store and i am the front-end manager (i the dern boss over the cashiers).. every cashier in my storeis taught to be more the courtious and respectful, to go over that extra to help anyone, we get constant compliments on how we treat people with intrgerity and patience.. its the way i run things,and have told my cashiers to always treat people how you would want to be treated in a grocery, thier hard earned money is being spent here, our motto is more for your money (in all ways). We also have alot of people tell us stories about how they are treated so badly by rudeness and what a difference our store makes. Now another thing that happens which i cannot understand for the life of me..My store is chain, other employees from the other stores come in here and want to treat us so rudely and disrespectful..i ask myself i wonder if they do this in other stores, or if even their own store, we are co-workers how can you treat your co-worker that way, (they make big scenes, act with nastiness and embarrass cashiers with remarks like we don't do this in our store) i wanna say goto your store and act like this then.. why do you come here? But we smile and think my goodness life must be really rough or sour for you. I've been to other stores in my area the cashiers barely even look at you let alone speak, im so puzzled as to why?

I am so sorry this happened to you Rena, thats really sad when it is so easy to treat people good, it makes me sick inside... we go that extra mile in our store for everyone.. im so glad you have the heart and soul of a divine angel.

where i go shopping at you have to bag your own groceries. I shop there once a month sometimes more because they are so much more cheaper than the grocery store by our house.but i do there when i only need a thing or two like milk and bread and if they ever put something on top of my bread i would have asked for a new one. you were way to nice. I buy wonder bread and once you smush it it stays smushed.I would of said in a nice way that i wanted a different bread and that am paying good money for it.thanks.
