I agree with the Lady.Im retired after 40 years in the Steelworkesrs .I didn't retire to go bagging groceries for FREE.Self checkouts are a bunch of crap and I have left my cart with the stuff still in it and walked out more than once.If everyone would do that,,they would smarten up and open more registers.. . You leave your cart full of items in a huff about self check out no one really cares on the store level. We just take your cart and re stock the items. That's one of the problems.Maybe you SHOULD care if or why the customers walk out the door upset.By your own admittance,,,YOU DONT CARE.And,,if you don't care,,then why are you griping about the customers.

Yet again it doesn't work like that. Yeah mabye on a small business where everything is in house and talking to a manager could get something don't but for us that work in large corporation stores , it dosent. I could care all I want bleed my heart out but my manger can't get more check outs , her supervisor ,can't the store supervisor can only send something up to district, that person over five stores might read the email and they might be able to do something possibly then they still probably have to run it all the way up more and then if the big wigs say " hay self check outs have Been show to increase profits by yadda yadda yadda " they will just take random peons email about need more people check outs and chuck it because the charts say it's making them more money. Also it's almost like the military ,you get hired for job a and your expected to do job a. I if your a sticker your not tried to be a cashier you don't have a login your not in that system and if you try to even if theirs a line of 50 people you can get written up or lose you job. I'm griping because the baby boomers who turn into temper tantrum throwing millennials the minute they don't get their most of the time refuse to understand this stuff. WE don't make these calls. O and I know tons of people who went from all sorts of blue collar, hard labor ,welding ect work to retail and quit within a month strictly due to the this kinda stuff.
IF YOU WANT CHANGE CALL REGIONAL OR CORPORATE. Our hands are tied most times it's not the same as back in the gap sorry but that's just how it is. Making" a stand "at the store over corporate level decisions at the store level dosent do anything but but the employees in a bind and honestly it really makes us care less because after the tenth person throwing a fit about something we can't change on our level you get really numb. Like having the company boss scream at you for the with time for just doing what your foreman told you you better do. It just becomes what ever. If the employees are just rude and actually don't wanna help (not just "their not doing it the way the did back in my day" yeah throw a fit and get them fired but so much of the stuff I see with customers just isn't that. And now I wait for the comments about my generation being lazy ,weak minded ect

I've worked retail (and foodservice) a LOT. I think most can't imagine just how impossibly rude some customers can be. It does get tiring. When I worked at Lowes, most of the associates who worked in my area would send our regular "difficult" customers to me. They said I had more patience than they did. I don't know about that! But I AM able to realize that I was at my JOB and so then do my best to mollify these absolutely ridiculous people, lol. Because again... that way my job.
I remember one little old lady... she was standing in line with a tomato plant, and a squash plant. I walked by, heading to the parking lot to help a customer load some soil into their car. She reached out and grabbed me and thrust a credit card into my hand. She said, "Here, you ring me up now." I explained I couldn't, that she would need to wait until the 2 people in front of her were rung up. She THREW her squash plant at my HEAD, dropped her tomato plant, and walked out. Haha. I felt bad though, because she left mad and didn't get her plants. But I don't know what I could have done differently.
But what always bothered me a lot more than seeing rude customers, was seeing rude employees and I boy did I ever see that. All day every day. No idea how they didn't get fired. The worst one eventually did, but only because he treated the store manager the way he treated customers one morning. The ironic thing is the person they hired to replace him was even more rude to customers. I don't miss working retail at ALL, but it's not because of the customers.

I don't care, if the stores don't care about happy customers....That makes two of us that don't care. My time is my time. I won't spend it trying to give my money to a big corporation. All I know is the two half gallons of ice cream along with 10# of poultry and sliced deli meat ought not sit too long after I walk away from that cart. I'll come back in a week or two and try again....Oh and the milk is getting warm too.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!
