How to avoid being a very annoying customer
82 Answers
Here are some tips I thought of when working on Saturday, feel free to add more--
Scenario 1- The item doesn't scan- this does not mean it 'Must be free'
Scenario 2- The cashier uses a pen to check all notes for forgeries- this shouldn't be an opportunity to practise comedy comebacks like 'I made that this morning!'
Scenario 3- The cashier holds out their hand and states the cost of the items- they are not just holding it there for fun, money should be put in their hand, not on the counter.
Scenario 4- It is a very very hot day outside you (the customer) state this fact to the cashier- do not be offended by the murderous looks you are now receiving, they are wondering how you could have the cheek to say this when they are stuck inside away from the lovely sunshine
Scenario 5- An item is on buy one get one free there is only one of said item left, do not be annoyed when you can only buy one and not get the 'one free' the clue is in the T&Cs (subject to availability)
Scenario 6- An item you want to buy is more than you expected so you complain to a shop assistant- this will get you nowhere, they do not set the prices and are probably wondering why you don't just go somewhere else.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have to admit that we have some great young student cashiers in Morrisons where I live. The young lads are heaps nicer than the gals though. Always good for a laugh and a bit of banter. The girls look more fed up and moody. The boys' attitude seems to be, "well I don't particularly like this job but, hey I might as well half a laugh and a joke while I am doing it. It makes the day go quicker". The boys are more polite too.
Sorry Sophie, this honestly isn't meant to be aimed at you. But you have to take the rough with the smooth in any job and getting fed up with the customers isn't going to help you feel better. Just smile sweetly and try to be helpful. Some of those customers (like me) hate shopping and a smiley happy cashier really does help!!
You should come to the shop where I work Lofty- there's one lad who will say nothing at all to customers apart from the cost of their shopping! I do try to be nice, always say please and thank you and will have a chat if the customer wants one but some things just really grate on my nerves! The money on the counter one is the worst to be fair, I just find it very rude!
Yes, that is rude Sophie. As a shopper the thing I hate most is that whilst I am packing and trying to pay the next person in the queue comes up really close and stands right next to me looking impatients. I tell them to move away. It doesn't make it any quicker for them, in fact I slow right down and take my time paying at the card reader!!
