Have you ever been caught at the back of a person with way too many objects within the specific lane? We’ve all felt the frustration of looking someone with a cart complete of items eating up our precious time while we simply had a few things to ring up. some folks can be very considerate in their situation and allow people with much less to go beforehand of them, but others appear oblivious to the idea of courtesy. One Walmart client these days shared a story (which may or won't be actual) about a cashier taking a stand in opposition to one consumer who didn’t experience the rules implemented to them.
Best moment I ever had in a Wal-Mart. I was in Colorado Springs. I had a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk and a couple of other things. This woman whose cart was overflowing, almost runs me over to get in front of me at the 10 items line. The woman starts to unload her cart onto the checkout stand and the cashier says, ‘Which ten items would you like, ma’am?”
The woman stops and says, "What?”
The cashier responds in a calm, patient tone, "This is a ten items or less express line.”
While speaking she holds up both hands showing all ten fingers. Then she pointed to the sign above the lane which read Ten Items or Less in both English and Spanish.
The woman gets all red in the face and says, "I want all of this!”
The cashier, "Ma’am, I’m sorry. As I said, this is a ten items or less line, please choose the ten items you’d like to purchase today.”
The woman at this point lets out this noise that sounds like someone poked one of those screaming goats and shoved her still overflowing cart as hard as she could. It almost hit this little old man sitting on a bench. Then she gave all of us who were laughing at her the finger, said "F*** you!” and stormed out.
I purchased my items and tipped the cashier a $20 for the best improv comedy moment I’d seen in years.
Please be sure to share this story with your friends and family.
