Ugh f*ing cashiers! It pisses me off everytime it happens!!!!! As if we owe them something....Similar scenario happened to me in Carrefour city center. The Philipino lady was so rude it was obvious from the start, and was chatting on the the phone as well (idk what's their deal with using phones non-stop lol). There was a family behind me of Eurpoeans or Americans i dont know really but after they placed their stuff on the belt, she rushed and put the "Next Counter Please" sign. I smiled and told her it wouldn't do no harm if she cashed their groceries as well. She mumbelled something rude in english then in her native language, i asked her "what is your problem?", she gave me sharp/bad look as mind-your-business-kinda look. I repeated loudly saying "WHAT.IS.YOUR.F#%#ING.PROBLEM, MA'AM?"....she was shocked and went on giving her lecture in respecting her job and customers then asked for her full name, wrote it down in front of her and looked for her supervisor (usually the ones with radios). He kept apologizing although he didn't know wtf happened. All you could hear is "Yes, sir. I am sorry, sir!". I told her "If you don't like your job, go home. Do not show your frustration on customers' faces. I am sure tens of thousands of ppl would love to take on your job and do it better." All that I said loudly so that other nearby cashiers could hear.
Trust me, don't get frustrated, this is what you need to do. Their managers do listen to such complains and act accordingly. These cashiers don't owe you anything by only being there scanning your groceries and not even doing the bare minimum of their job, which is smiling and being friendly...and also turning the freaking phone off while serving the customer.
