I worked at a grocery store when I was in high school, and the story you’re about to read brought back some great memories…

And those memories are mostly messing was rude customers!

It was a glorious time…

Check out what happened in this tale from Reddit!

THAT’S ILLEGAL!

“This is not one of my proudest moments, but it felt really good.

I was a grocery store cashier and had been for almost 2 years when this happened. I was job hunting and planning on quitting anyway so I was kinda playing it fast and loose with my filter.

Our store was a ‘bag your own groceries’ place but if it was really slow, or the customer really needed help I had no problem helping them. But it was NOT part of my job and we didn’t have ‘baggers’.

This was NOT a slow day.

It was EXTREMELY busy. The only people on cash were me and my supervisor and we each had a line about ten people deep. The customer in question pushed all my buttons.

Not using a divider so his **** got mixed up with the next persons, not labeling a bulk nut item so I had to send a shelf stocker back to get the code, talking on the phone while I was trying to tell him his total, throwing money all over my counter instead of placing it in my open hand.

So he pays and he had about 6 items. I push his stuff to the end of the counter, toss a plastic bag on top, and move onto the next customer.

I just wanted to be done with him. This guy. This ignorant GUY finally gets off his phone and SCREAMS at me:

‘HEY!!! HEEEEEEY!’

Me: Yes?!

‘WHY DID YOU NOT BAG THIS!!!!!’

Do it yourself!

Me: (simultaneously scanning the next customers groceries and talking to him) I’m sorry, we’re super busy, there’s a bag right on top you can use!

‘THAT IS NOT RIGHT!!’

Me: (actively ignoring him at this point)

‘HEY!! THIS IS CANADA!! IT IS ILLEGAL NOT TO BAG A PAYING CUSTOMERS GROCERIES IN CANADA!!!’

Me: (literally speechless, and now I’m really mad. In the time he was yelling he could’ve just done it himself and been gone) SURE THING!!!

Here you go!

I stop scanning the next customers stuff, pick up the bag, and start slamming his **** into it. Bread first, spaghetti sauce next, and then drop everything else on stop. Then I slid/pushed it all the way to the end of the counter and screamed HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!

His face dropped and he grabbed his bag and left. Every other transaction went smoothly and me and my supervisor had a good laugh about it in the cash room that night.

I’m probably gonna get downvotes for this one lol but if it makes you feel any better I never took another retail job and don’t plan to. I can’t deal with people like this in person all day long again.”
