I was working on the cash register and had a few people in line waiting to be checked out. After finishing up with one customer, I call out my usual “I can help whoever’s next!” Well, the two ladies who were next in line weren’t paying attention, so I call out again. As they still didn’t notice and the allotted “awkward time” ran out, the woman behind them came up to me so I could ring her up. I finished her transaction and she went on her merry way. Now the two aforementioned customers finally noticed they had been next as I began my greeting “I can take you guys right here!” They were PISSED. One started yelling about how I helped someone else while they were next in line. They were just overall berating me for this while I stood quiet and confused.
