hello everybody. 'been long since i last "participated" in here. i logged in and out every now and then but i haven't had that chance to comment to discussions or to make one. yeah, it feels good to be here for the time being.
anyway, my post is not about that
.
it's about the cashiers at a local grocery store. everytime i'm at the check-out counter, i always notice that the cashiers and even the baggers treat your groceries like soft cottony objects. i mean, don't they notice that most of these items are food that could crack/spill/break/etc?
i'm not complaining. oh, well, yes i am. but i'm wondering if these grocery staff were even trained to care for the merchandise. or were they only instructed to punch-in and bag?
if only the supervisors could take note of this. but then again, maybe even the THEY wouldn't even care. what's worse is that if you try to tell that staff to be careful with your groceries, s/he will look at you as if you offended him/her.
to think that this local grocery store is only one of the many branches.
oh well. that is all.
maybe you've had the same experience?

I know what you mean. I live in the city and believe me, the cashiers don't care about anything really. They do have lines there that we can bag ourselves. I do try and go to those lines. I also doubt that they are trained to care for the items being checked and bagged. It is speed, thats all it comes down to. The store only care about how much money they are going to make that day.

Yes I have noticed the same thing and it always irritates me. I don't want to go home to cookie crumbles because they slammed the cookie box around! I bet they wouldn't like it if someone did that to their groceries.

Great to see you here again. Once you are at the check out- most those workers could care a less. They just want your money and you to leave. its very sad.

The check out person care nothing about, your food spilling in your bag, or something breaking, all they want you to do is, pay for your items and they will go to the next customer, and do the same thing to their food, that they did to yours but when I do go to the store, I do notice they take your eggs, and bread and put them in bag all to them selves.

Hi Murkie yes I have had this happen too I just cringe when my bread is squished and I think please do not break my eggs. I think sometimes they have to rush but I do wish they would take care of our produce better too.
