Today, while at a funeral for a distant family member, I was giving my condolences to the family. When one of them asked how I was doing, I replied with, "I'm still alive!", which is one of my standard responses due to being a cashier and being asked that question a hundred times a day. FML

Poor choice of words under the circumstances, although you meant no harm

Same thing happened to me with my in-laws. Hope your recovery was good.

Try to change up your responses as a cashier.

I'm sure the look of shock on your face after saying it gave away that you didn't really mean it in that sense

That's funny. Cause that's my answer and what I always tell the customers after they answer me. Lol.

although you meant no harm, being a cashier does make you respond with things like this. I would have apologized saying it's a habit from work

I know what you mean about it just being an automatic response. When my boyfriend and I go out and someone he knows sees him and asks "How's it going?" no matter how much fun he may or may not have just been having he will always respond with a near monotone "it's goin." Almost insulting -.-
