So today when I noticed it was a bit slow and I noticed that there wasn’t many customers so I decided it was a good time for me to go on a quick 30 minute break. As I was going to go clock out, I noticed this customer started to put her stuff down on a closed register so I kindly told her “Ma’am this register is closed, please step to the next one.” She almost immediately replied back with the nastiest tone and said “well there’s no closed sign, you guys really should make one” idk why but I was so annoyed when she said that today so I Iaughed and said “clearly there’s nobody working on the register. Have fun waiting.”
I don’t know what’s up with her since there was clearly 3 other registers open with little to no customers and 4 empty self checkout lanes. And whether or not I have a closed sign up, customers would still put their stuff on the register.
Disclaimer: that was not my register, I work as a front end so I’m not assigned to any register and I only hop on if it gets busy which it wasn’t today.
