'Unexpected item in bagging area.'
It's not unexpected, you digital fuck. You literally just told me what it is. It's right there on the screen. I did the wavy-wave, you did the bleepy-bleep; up until the point where you decided to have an electronic stroke, things were going exactly according to plan. What you mean is that you haven't been programmed right. Don't go putting this on me, like I've somehow gone out of my way to surprise you. I've got places to be, man. I can't be playing hide-the-actual-salami with the Terminator's younger, shittier cousin.
Oh, and now you've sent for backup. Well done. Now I have to deal with a human person who thinks I'm either an imbecile or a thief for not being able to work what's effectively a bathroom scale with delusions of grandeur for the fourth time.
Aldi is like the crown jewel of grocery stores. There's not one close to me, unfortunately. And they've always (as long as I've known them, anyway) let their cashiers sit. Aldi needs to buy Kroger and show them how it's done.
Other grocery stores don't let their cashiers sit? Wtf? Standing still for 8+ hours sounds like hell? Why would you force someone to do that?
I've never been to a grocery store where cashiers were forced to stand and I've lived in 4 different countries in the past decade. This is an American thing, yes? But why?
The US is a truly ridiculous country. They have all these weird Hang-Ups about what constitutes good customer service, apparently sitting is offensive to some people, although I've never met anyone who thinks that.
But I just don't get it. How is standing a customer service? It doesn't add anything except suffering to the cashier.
Americans think that suffering is a service and they damn well deserve it
