Cashiers on the receiving end of rude customers
By Randy | August 20, 2007
In my many years of shopping and dealing with rude people, the people I feel the most sorry for are the cashiers. They get all the guff when we get done shopping.
I have had people take it out on me as I ring them out when the store is out of something. Like it’s my fault it didn’t get ordered. I usually ignored them but if someone was extremely rude I just remind them I don’t have to ring them out, and I don’t have to take the abuse, and then calmly leave my register and get the store manager and let him/her deal with them.
There have been times after I’ve said this – but before I walk away from the person (who usually has a shocked look on there face) I tell them, “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to take it out on you.” I don’t work in retail anymore but I remember those days, so I try to be extra nice to whoever is ringing me out.
