Grocery Store Apathy.

You ever get one of those checkout people that has absolutely zero regard for your food when they throw it down the backstop into the bagging area? The person who chucks your fresh ripe apricots. The person who drops your carton of unbroken and carefully inspected eggs. The person who just doesn’t give a shit about what you’re buying.

I figured out a way to fuck with these people. They’re hard to forget and most people go to the same grocery store, so you can figure out who they are and when these people are working. When you have a cart full of groceries, go to the line next to them when you’re checking out. When your new cashier is scanning and putting your foodstuffs towards the bagging area, say hi to the cashier who had no disregard for your food the last time you went to the store. When she says hi back, immediately repeat as follows.

“Yeah i’m doing ok, i’m just glad that this cashier doesnt throw my food after she scans it like you do. Great weather outside isn’t it?”

I swear to god you will never have any problems with any of the cashiers throwing your food around.

    Yeah, its funny cuz J mentioned a similar thing in a recent post. I think your approach is really good. I also do it AND bag my own groceries and if the person who is bagging does not speak English I speak really loudly to them….real slowly too.

    i used to work in this upscale produce place/bakery and you would not believe how many old ladies would come in there and think that i was putting something on top of their tomatoes, when in reality, i’m not a fucking retard and know how to bag groceries. i used to be really bitter about this, can you tell? :P
