1. When you are waiting inline, don't get pissed at the person serving if they're going to slow. They may have been working a while before you came along. Although if it's early, and you see them just getting on, and they are still slow, they're just warming up.
2. If you have your items in a trolley, you'd put them up on the counter, yeah? So there's no difference if you have a basket. That goes double for putting your items in a green bag before coming through and just expecting them unpacked. It get's annoying if you I have to unpack your groceries, then pack them again. Even more frustrating if you look at your watch and make an annoyed sound. Swear to Xenu, one day, I'm smacking someone in the face with a ham.
3. When the checkout operator asks you "Hi, how are you?" It is nice to answer, and not just stare at them blankly. I don't care how you are, hell if you carked it while I was serving you, I'd just page someone to take your fat ass away. Saying it is just a nicety, so return it and it will be over alot quicker.
4. Try to keep all your items of the same kind TOGETHER. I.e Cold items, fragile, cleaning supplys etc. There's nothing more annoying then putting through some Meat, then suddenly getting some Eggs, then Soap, then suddenly BAM meat again. There really should be some kind of rule that says Register operators can put your shit in the bag the order they're given them.
5i. If something is scanned wrong, don't make a big hissy fit about it. Calmly say "That was supposed to be (amount)". Most likely the price on the item was overlooked.
5ii. If something is on special for like '2 for $5' it doesn't come up at the discounted price on the screen. It will still have the original price next to it. Although it will be highlighted red, and the special is written underneath it. Don't say to me "OI, that was 3 for $6, you put it through the wrong price" because once it's pointed out to you "Oh no, see the BIG red words, it says it there; Can you read?" You'll seem like a dipshit.
6. When asked for a flybuys/everyday rewards card, or the like do not answer "No thank you" I wasn't asking if you WANTED one, I asked if you had one. If you do have one and don't want to use it, it's just as easy to say "Yeah, but don't worry about it". You won't seem like a dipshit with manners.
7. If you want credit or something with your purchase, please know what you want. Don't say to me "I want $20 credit" and then when asked "Which one?" just say "I don't know, the $20 one" If you don't know that simple question, I should be allowed to stab you.
8. If you're given the wrong change, just say it nicely. Yelling doesn't get your point across any better. Just makes you seem like a stingy prick who needs his 50c.
9. When they say "Have a nice day" how hard is it to say "You too"?
Well that's all, please remember these next time, you may realise the checkout operator is alot happier, and it goes by quicker.
Oh and one more thing, tommorow; Xmas day; I'll be having a very special "A very Christopher Christmas" on my twitter. Over 50 updates throughout the day, to share my Xmas with you. I know you don't care, but it's the thought that counts.
See you all on another post.
