so sometimes i stop at my local grocery store a little close to closing. recently, there has been this cashier at closing who is very rude. the last time i was in there, the manager was standing right beside everyone at the desk and this kid was cussing under his breath.
today I ran my card and it usually prompts me for my PIN number immediately after swiping my card but today it was asking me for an account number. This has never happened at any store I have ever visited in the 10 some years that I have owned a bank card. when i asked what was up with the machine, the guy got frustrated and basically treated me like an idiot. like, this is the first thing he did. there was no effort to explain it. there was no, oh the machines a little weird today or this one is different it was just "what did you run it as? credit? then hit credit." like duh. after that he rolled his eyes and let out the kind of sigh you do when you are disappointed in someone.
Just. Like. That.
So straight up I told him every time I am in here he is rude as fuck asked him what his problem was because we were going to have one if he kept acting like that and that he better get his shit straight. Kid looked like a deer caught in the headlights. I sat there and gave him a chance to say something while I looked him dead in the eye. Didn't say anything.
I don't want the kid to lose his job because at the end of the day we all need money and I'm just trying to get some groceries. But idk what the point of this thread is. I guess I'm just kind of annoyed. Like, I feel like I handled things the way I wanted to, but it's just kind of falling short of satisfaction.
I let it go last time because I did come in very late and I was the only person in the store and he probably already had his drawer counted so I could sympathize a little bit. But today there were like 5 other people in the store. Should I report him? I don't want to, but every time I see him there I can see it in his body language and the tone of his voice. He doesn't even want to be there. Yeah, that's normal when you're that close to getting off. What's not normal is that he isn't even trying to hide it.
Might be better to make a job opening for somebody else.
