In grocery store.

Woman in front of me has five 24 packs of coke. The sale price is 3.98 each. Sales tax here is 8.25% (yea even on food). . .

The cashier rings her up - tells her the amount. The woman looks at the $20.00 bill in her hand and says, sheesh, I don't have enough and says to the cashier - I'll be back.

She just takes off through the front door of the grocery store toward the parking lot.

I look at the cashier and ask her if she can ring the 3 things I have up and let me on out (she is the only cashier - she says "no". . . ). I wait for a minute - no lady. I sit my three things down and walk out. . .

Customer service and math skills have went down the tube.

Because once an order is started, you usually need a manager to come void it off.

So in order for her to get you, a manager would be needed. She can't just do that herself.

Probably wasn't the cashier's fault if she wasn't able to negotiate with the register and ask it to kindly cancel the sale.

Stuff like that usually requires a supervisor.


If anything, blame the idiot woman who forgot about sales tax, and was inconsiderate enough to just have one of the items taken off of the order.


<--- Worked as a cashier once. The registers suck, and don't support concurrent transactions. You can usually remove items from a transaction fairly easily, but canceling the entire sale may require a supervisor's key.
Also, the job sucks.

Sounds like a plan, she should have done it.

Idioms are still subject to grammar rules. They may be nonsensical, but you still should have written gone instead of went.

Maybe she was from an area with no sales tax on groceries, so she didn't factor it in. The sales lady probably could have done what you asked, but it probably would have taken a little longer than you think to get a manager and void the sale.

I would have just waited. Now your pissed and you don't even have the things you went in for.

I would have waited.

The other day, a women in front of me bought a pack of hamburgers and her coupon was for "73% fat" (or something like that). The pack that was swiped by the cashier was the wrong bag, so they sent someone to go check it out. He never came back. A line was building, so after 10 mins they just decided to give her the bag.

Then she paid with check.

I people watched while things were (not) getting done.

I used to work at a Genuardi's (Safeway) and we were able to suspend a transaction and bring it up later. It required a supervisor to key in a code, but it could still be done. Situations like the one mentioned in the OP happened on more than one occasion. If it was something that was going to take a while to fix, we would just call the supervisor over to suspend/void the transaction.

lol i went shopping today. I had a cart full of stuff. one item was a seedless watermelon. it had 2 big signs saying $3 so grabed it. When i got to the cashier it rang up $4. i said no thats 3 and she said no the other ones are $3 this one was $4. i said no the big ones are $4 this was a small seedless and it said $3 so i said call manager ove.r


the manager comes over and asked whats going on. so she said ok i will go check (i fallowed behind) and she turns and said just override it to 3. The cashier goes no that one is $4 the other watermelons are $3! and gave me a dirty look. I turned back and said "give me a fucking break. do you really think i would scam you out of $1?" the manager turns to me and says "this is a family establishment!" i said great. don't have your cashiers scream across teh store that someone is trying to scam them out of a buck. the manager just turned and walked off.

so we get to the watermelons. the manager sees the 2 signs and said oh they are $3. we get back to the cashier and she tells her to ring it up as $3 and i said "in the future you might want to keep your trap shut instead of saying someone is stealing a doller"

considering my bill was over $200 it really pissed me off.
