4. Not even notice at all because you don't give a fuck

If you want a good experience, pick the old lady cashier.... if you want someone hot to look at, choose the young hot chick.
Chances are you won't get a good experience with a young hot chick cause she really doesn't want to be there.

As for guys.... why would you pick the line with a guy cashier?

hah, I just recently worked at Albertson's, and the training videos are SOOOO cliche! The worst part is, they actually expect you to act like that and write you up if you don't.

G.O.T.

Greet. Offer. Thank.

Hi, how are you today?
Fine, and you?
FANTASTIC! Did you find everything alright?
Yes I did, thank you.
So how are your kids {blah blah blah}
{transaction complete- courtesy clerk's turn}
I'd love to help you out to your car today, Ma'am. {do NOT ask a question, this is a statement}
No, that's ok I think I can handle it.
I don't mind at all, I have to go collect carts from the lot anyway!
Ok, if you insist {super big smile}
{help with groceries, talk small talk...}
Thank you for shopping at Albertson's! Have a GREAT DAY!

{all the while I check out their ASSets in stolen looks and/or wonder how they live with themselves and/or consider how best to get away with an extra smoke break without getting caught on the 96 cameras in and around the store}

they didn't greet you? call the fucking union.
fin.

Sometimes you can't pick who your cashier is because when the line gets too long they will open up new aisles and say "I can help the next customer".

Thanks. If I go to Albertsons in the future I'll remember this.

i really dont care. Around here greetings at grocery stores are just 'hi'.

Is it possible that you only notice minorities doing displeasing things because you're predisposed to disliking them and are looking for them to be rude?

Because, seriously. Rudeness isn't a genetic trait. I mean, I've met more rude white people than any other race, and been treated worse by white people in general, but that's just because those particular people were assholes... had nothing to do with them being white, or brown, or purple.

Bausch, it may just be that the cashier chose not to say 'hello' for reasons COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO YOU. Chill the fuck out. Who still stews over some random cashier "snubbing" them over a month later?

Yes, it's possible. I just had bad vibes from this cashier, as if they didn't like me and were being rude at me in particular for some reason. I just got very bad vibes. I'm not stewing about it, I was reminded by the incident because I was reading a topic about being discriminated against and I thought perhaps that was the issue instead of being just "snubbed".

And also, it hasn't been a month. It's been 15 days.

4. Not even notice at all because you don't give a fuck

I really woudln't give two shits

Ok, never mind, I'm over it again. I got annoyed for a bit but it's better now... Most people don't seem to care so I'm going to try and be like them and not care either.

Face it, you are not happy unless you are whining about something.

How is it going?

:1orglaugh

I'd punch her in the mouth

4. Not even notice at all because you don't give a fuck .....People ARE TOO FUCKING SENSITIVE!!!

the only and in my mind OBVIOUS answer is that the cashier wanted you to fuck the shit out of her but was so intimidated by the lust you caused in her, while being SIMULTANEOUSLY embarrassed by her dripping panties, that she totally froze up and couldnt speak becasue she was gibbering mentally and had lost the use of her brains language centers.

so next time you see her wink and lick your lips at her. that always works for me. especially while purchasing condoms and a large tub of butter.

LOL everyone at GFY is such a hard ass even the ones in wheels.

What distinguishes these big stores from each other now days? You go to Walmart, Albertsons, Vons, Smiths, Food 4 less all grocery stores in my area.

They all offer you the same thing, with the exception of their store brand versions.

There are only a few things that differentiate them from the other stores.
Location - how easy is it to get to?
Prices - Self explanatory
Cleanliness - once again self explanatory
Service - once again self explanatory.

If you're not even considering these factors, then you're not some hard rolling bling bling wannabe, you're a mindless sheep who just takes what is doled out to him.

There are stores I don't go to because the location is just not feasible, but the prices are low enough to tempt me. I still don't go.

Then there are stores where the prices are way cheap, but the place is a dump, the restrooms untidy etc. Not going to get my business either.

Then there are stores that are immaculate, and somewhat convenient, but the prices are ridiculous.

many factors to weigh in whether or not you're going to continue shopping there, and yes service is one. So quit acting like this shit doesn't affect your choices you donks.

Bausch is a hottie but she's slightly neurotic.


Playin with her emotions is too easy... Fake nic?

bausch you're so neurotic it's hot :winkwink:

At first, this thread was odd but a little funny. Now, after realizing how serious she is about this issue, it's odd but very sad. I cannot believe it would bother someone enough to make a thread....much less get upset over it again weeks later. And, to believe it is because you are Asian (and therefore meek) is almost (pathetically) amusing.

:thumbsup

2 pages about some cashier that did not say hello to you?? Welcome to GFY!

Bwaaahhhahaaaaa... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I'm neurotic because my ex dumped me and I have nothing better to do or worry about now besides how random strangers treat me I guess.

ohhhhhhhhhh bausch is cute? neurotic isn't so bad!

where are the bausch pics?

HA!

4. Not even notice at all because you don't give a fuck

Doesn't bother me as a customer.

But... When I managed a store it pissed me off enough to reprimand the offending cashier.

As a cashier I couldn't imagine NOT talking to each customer.

This is why I love the stores with self-checkout machines, so I can completely avoid that whole dance of insincere pleasantries. I'm there for groceries, not to make smalltalk with random strangers. All that management-mandated banter does is slow down the line and cheapen us both. Neither of us honestly wants to hear about the others boring day, and we both know it, so who's fooling who? Store owners, I accept that your staff is capable of basic human empathy, I really don't need any halfhearted reassurance of that fact; I just need some fucking bananas, ok? It's even worse when the cashier is so dullwitted that they get into this inane babble loop with some lonely customer and now everybody behind them can't move forward until these two retards have negotiated an end to the conversation. I wonder how much time and money is actually lost over all this unnecessary "service"?

I was told by someone that met her that she was pretty cute. It is her luggage that brings her down.

I wonder how much money is actually lost because people don't provide this "unnecessary" service.

Ever been into a Kmart? They used to be the biggest discount store in America at one time...my how they have fallen.

I remember when they decided around 97 or 98 to stop such unnecessary services. There were no longer people working in various departments at the store. My grandmother wanted to buy a shop-vac for my uncle at Christmas and they didn't have any that could be reached.

In order to get service you were supposed to go to a nearby pole and push a button, this would announce over the loud speaker that a customer needed help in that department.

We pushed that button and waited, and waited while that announcement continued to play over and over. It finally got to a point that I had to walk around the entire store more than once in order to find someone. I swear to God it took almost 30 minutes, by that time my grandmother gave up and we left to go elsewhere.

What's my point? Idiots who think that customer service shouldn't be a part of the experience are who's running these companies into the ground.

They want to cut costs and chose to cut them in an area that could only increase their profits.

As a manager for Taco Bell for 7 years, one of my jobs was to take trouble stores and turn them around. You know how I did it?

By burning through labor, and going way beyond what was necessary in customer service.

The last store I ran for them, I took from around $12K a week to over $22K a week, and was number 1 in growth for an entire year for the company.

I overstaffed and took the heat in the short run. The philosophy was, if there are more than enough staff, there will be no real customer service issues. When there was, no questions asked I gave them every cent back.

People took advantage of that in the beginning, but when the store was running optimally, they couldn't complain anymore and that shit stopped.

As the store made more and more each week, the labor came into line with the rest of the budget and it wasn't noticeable anymore.

Anyway, for those who think customer service is not something that affects your bottom line. Then you haven't managed anything other than yourself, and a few "affiliate reps" on GFY.

Go open your own grocery store, and I guarantee you, you will be having your employees serenading customers at the register if you think it will increase sales.

There's a huge difference between sufficient staffing vs. time-wasting bullshit. My closest bank branch is particularly bad at telling the difference. There may be a line out the door, and yet some memo from higherup has obviously mandated that every teller must engage in all this foreplay with every customer. It drives me crazy. If your employee takes twice as long to finish each task then it stands to reason you're going to need twice as many employees and/or real service will suffer. Nationally all these wasted minutes would add up to millions of hours.

who gives a fuck ... never thought about it and what weird question.

i'll choose the 4th. understand that it's unpleasant situation, but there are too many other things to worry about!

I wouldn't do anything... God already punished him by making him a grocery cashier... :-)
