Carriage Please

So tonight I had the wonderful privilege of getting reported by a customer. Oh joy of joys!!!

Here goes:

I was bagging for a customer, as it is somewhat expected considering it is a supermarket, after all. Well, the woman was just standing gabbing away to her friend. With empty carriage in hand. With that being said, her groceries were piling up and I had no more room. So, I just politely asked, "Can you please push your carriage through?..." The woman just looked at me with contempt and said, "You can stop bagging if it's going to stress you out." Well, that was uncalled for, so, under my breath, I simply said, "Excuse me". Well, the woman went to the service desk requesting to speak to a manager. I kept bagging her stuff, and she said, ""Stop. I don't want your hands on my shit, so stop bagging." So, just to please her I went to bag for another customer. Well, being the snarky prick that I am, as she was walking by, I told her to have a good afternoon.

After the wonderful woman left, I went up to the manager and told him I wasn't being rude, and that all I did was ask for her carriage. He said he knew,and that having worked for S&S for so long, that I know how things go. People like to be apologized to and have things rectified. Well, anyways, according to the girl behind the desk, the woman's friend thought that when I mumbled under my breath, that I had said, "Fuck You", to the nasty lady. I guess she's not a very good lip reader or something.

This just further proves the point that people that are in a bad mood need to take it out on someone else. But it's ok, honestly, because people like that always end up making themselves look like fools.

I totally understand where you're coming from here! I work for a casino and it's always about how the guest can misconstrue what you've said as to try and get you in trouble so they can feel like the hero! I've enjoyed reading your stories and hope to read more of them!
