Ways to Annoy your Grocery Clerk #2 – Hardly Working?

by PkWynn on September 23, 2009

Just hate it when a customer just happens to see you doing nothing for a split second and they say something that annoys you for the whole day.

I stand in front of my checkstand and wait for customers so I can serve them until one comes running towards me and says…

Customer: Hey! Are you working hard or are you hardly working?

Me: Hahaha… you got me, that was a good one!

Customer: Hahahaha… I remember when I worked as a clerk, there was always something to do.

Me: Haha … yeah but now Im checking you out!

Customer: LOL … Im sure you’ll be back to doing nothing!

    Ooooooh this one bugs me. I had an elderly gentleman tell me that “kids today are just worthless, why I worked my tail off as a young kid, you don’t have to do anything” I wanted to flip out but I had to just bag his groceries and smile and nod. Wish I could have told him about all the 50+ hours weeks that I work and all the things I had to do every single day. I can understand looking down on the youth of today to some degree, but give me a little credit!

    Doesn’t it make you want to just grab them by the throat and ask “Breathing hard, or Hardly breathing?” ..lol

    I work at a mcdonalds (sad fate of a connectionless teenager) and it asolutely irks me when a customer says to me “Now let’s get it right this time honey!” or “This job isn’t that difficult, really it isn’t so why are you just standing their doing nothing” and then they whisper “Kids these days” makes me want to sucker punch them in the face for making my shift go from ok to miserable. Its humorous though since I am as nice as possible to customers even if their total clods while some of my co-workers have the worst attitude as if they were hanging with their friends swearing and having a kisser of a time.
