A cashier's life

By amy - 16/10/2013 21:52 - United States - Wellesley Hills

Today, as I worked as a cashier, two girls came up laughing. I smiled as I rang them up, asking what had made them laugh so hard. One looked me dead in the face and said, "You." They then both walked away, laughing. FML

It's all good.. I'm a cashier and once a really cute guy came through my lane and was flirting with me. He came back through again because he forgot something. It was a pregnancy test.

customer service sucks. just know that you have better manners, and are generally a better person overall!

Not to be a bitch but I don't like it when a cashier asks what I am taking about with someone I am with. Kinda none of their business. It's not the same as friendly small talk, which by social norms is very impersonal and perfectly appropriate.

So why CAN'T it be friendly small talk between two strangers? I mean, it's not unprofessional like phoning customer service about a product you're unhappy with, or having to wait for the poor guy to get on with his work. If he can work while he's making small talk, why not?

You missed my point. It is fine for a cashier and customer to make friendly small talk. That's not the same as two customers already in a conversation coming up and the cashier asking what they are talking about. That's intrusive and annoying.

It's also rude as **** to walk up to the cashier and continue your conversation as if they don't even exist. It's like not getting off the phone when checking out.

Either there complete bitches or there high on something. In either case ignore them.

I hate selfish people like that. They just say that to make you feel bad. And, maybe they're only saying that about your hygiene/cleanliness which is easy to fix ( like messy hair or u smell) no worries op no one is ugly everyone has different opinions on what beauty is, and trust me- it's ok to not be called beautiful by 2 stuck up teens striving to be perfect. :)

Big difference between not being called beautiful, and laughing excessively and ridiculing some trivial characteristic about someone.

Ok I agree, I'm sorry but I don't mean it like that. I mean that some people just do it as a quick comeback, because what they're saying is personal, and they are immature so they found that comeback funny. Or, they found him to smell or something. Sorry, I was writing that on my phone and I couldn't really write it so well so I guess it kinda made no sense.

I wonder what made them laugh so hard about you?.. but who cares what they think.

Uh, I don't think they were really laughing at OP's face, they were prolly laughing about something else and were just rude to OP, if they didn't want to answer his question, they could've just said so, it's not like OP was demanding an answer. FYL for this happening when you tried to be friendly, OP. I suggest you remember their faces. You'll get your chance to pay them back >:]

I agree, they probably weren't laughing about you. The biatch probably just said that because she thought it was a clever retort that she thought her friend would find amusing. F them! Whatever!

You should never ask strangers "what's so funny?" because if it isn't you, it's probably some inside joke you won't get. You'll just seem like a nosy killjoy.

Yep! Cashiers should only ask, "Did you find everything you needed?" :P

#42, right, because that's a great time to ask that! When there's a line behind me, I say no and ask her to hold up the line while I get my forgotten item. That'll teach them to ask such a question at such a stupid, ******* time!

I hope you added two douchebags to their bill at $19.99 each. When they complain to your manager, and ask where these douchebags are, say, "Look in the mirror!"
