People of Walmart

By drano - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, at work as a cashier, a guy came up with a cart full of stuff and it took me 10 minutes to ring it all up. When I told him his total, he felt his pockets, said, "Oh shit, I forgot my wallet!" and walked off. He left about 15 bags worth of things for me to put back. FML

"Today, I went to the store. I spent hours finding all the stuff I needed, and it was so much that it took the cashier ten minutes to ring up. Then I realized I forgot my wallet. FML"

I'm sorry, but I've worked retail. Putting back stuff the customer doesn't want is part of your job, you get paid for it. If you had had to, for some odd reason, put things back after you had gotten off work and were no longer on the clock, that would be an FML, but doing your job is not an FML. Be glad you ******* have a job.

If your a cashier, is it even your job to put the groceries back?

I'm a cashier, this happens once in a while.It really sucks.... it isn't really our job, but we do it. We've have had some people that do it for fun, its quite ignorant. But hold on ............IT TOOK YOU 10 MINUTES TO RING 15 BAGS OF GROCERIES? dammmmn your slow

Simply from the stand point of having worked food service for the last three years I can see where the OP is coming from. If you are in the middle of a rush (lunch/dinner time, rush hour, ect) as a cashier of any kind you don't always have the time to step away from your register and put 15 bags worth of stuff (be it clothes, food or otherwise) back. In the case of my co-workers it isn't uncommon for someone to come up with a TON of stuff and have forgotten their card (maybe they used cash for the tickets) or to have their card declined, then we get to put all the stuff back. Often this means having to shove all the stuff aside in our limited space and wait until the rush dies down before we can take things like ICEE cups (which leak and stain the counter) and bulk candy (which is the worst) and try to put them either back where they belong or waste them out. I don't really blame the customers because shit happens, but regardless for the person who has to put all this crap back and/or waste out the items that are no longer good it sucks because at least where i work the more waste there is at the end of a night the harder the managers will come down on us. Not to mention that adds extra work on top of the lots of other things we have to do so that we can get off shift on time. Also yes you can say all you want that it is good for us to have jobs and all that when so many people don't have jobs and that we should be grateful, but a lot of us bust our asses at our jobs while catching shit from asshole/ignorant customers all day and don't even get so much as a thank you anymore. The children 7 and under that I serve are often more polite than both kids and adults older than them. That is really sad. Also as a last note. 15 bags worth of stuff can be about a carts worth if you are looking at the regular sized plastic shopping bags and it could have all been little this or like at walmart it could have been a mixture of food items and clothing ect.

Stop complaining. It honestly took you 10 minutes to ring up a cart full of stuff? When I was a cashier (at Loblaws, the carts are big) it took me maybe 3 minutes. 15 bags of stuff is nothing. 300$ orders don't have very much stuff at all. And we never have baggers.
