Ok. I just need to vent something. Some people are assholes!
I had just gotten to work today and one woman ruined the rest of my afternoon.
She was about 40 years old and had her 11 or 12 year old son with her. She had a fair sized cart load of groceries so I had Jordan box out for me. Right off the bat I had made a mistake in her eyes.
*thud*
Woman: Uh! My pears...
Me: Oh, sorry. See, they are okay.
Woman: *scoffs* I have to pay for those.
They were bosc pears, the most durable of pears...
I grab the apples, which are overfilled in a flimsy plastic produce bag. The bag rips as I place it on the scale and then "the bitch went nuts"...
Woman: Oh c'mon! Now my apples are bruised. Do I need to get Rob over here?...
Me: I'm sorry about that.
Woman: I don't like my bread smushed either. Don't be careless.
I don't mention that she had stuffed the bag too full and just continue scanning groceries. Then I get to the yogurt.
Woman: Those were 10 for $5. The sign said so.
Me: Are you sure it was this kind? It is only the Original or Whips, I believe.
Woman: *sigh* Here, Wyatt, go get the ones with the silver tops. Whatever kind you like.
I continue scanning.
A bottle of Western Family brand Lite Maple Syrup.
Woman: That was supposed to be $1.19.
She is getting really short with me.
Me: Jordan can you go check the price of this for me? Ma'am are you sure it was this one? If the paper signs are not underneath the item it isn't on sale.
Woman: Yes! You act as though I can't shop. I am in here almost every day.
She isn't.
Her son comes back and I scan one of the yogurts.
Me: This is the Thick & Creamy kind. It is $0.69. Only the Original and Whips are $0.50.
Wyatt: You said the ones with the silver tops. That's the kind I got.
Woman: Go back and get the right ones.
Wyatt: But you said-
Woman: -Go!!
He takes off.
God forbid she pay $0.19 more for a cup of yogurt...
Jordan comes back with the price of the syrup.
Jordan: $1.99.
Me: So do you still want this one?
Woman: *grunts* Yeah.
Her son comes back with the right yogurts.
Woman: Why did you get that syrup? Couldn't you see that it wasn't on sale?
Wyatt: I didn't get the syrup. You did.
She ignores this.
I finish with her groceries.
Me: Your total is $163.55
Woman: What?
Me: Your total is-
Woman: -I heard you, it just can't be that much. You scanned too many yogurts didn't you.
I show her the list.
Me: 6 and 4, thats 10.
She hands me a check made out for $200.
I don't argue with her and let her know that she can only make it out for $10 over because I want her to get the fuck out of my face. I give her her change and tell her to have a nice day. On her way out I hear her tell her son:
Woman: Pick up the pace. We need to get these in the car and head over to Savemart.
Bitch.
