in Chit-Chat
I went to do my groceries today at Walmart and was at the cash when I had what I can only describe as a "head scratching" exchange with the cashier .:huh:

This is how the conversation went.

ME: Can I have my orange juice in a bag please?
CASHIER: We don't generally give bags for items with handles.
ME: O.k., well can I purchase a bag please?
CASHIER: We don't charge for bags.
ME: O.k., can I HAVE a bag please?
CASHIER: Sure!

:laugh:

I couldn't help but giggle to myself as I left. WTF was that? Was she just messing with me for sh*ts and giggles, lol.

    Walmart cashiers, in my experience, are very interesting. I once had a guy who opened my shampoo to smell it, and then told me I had pretty hair-- then proceeded to lean in and smell my hair. And another lady who told me her mother owned a carwash when she was little and made her walk through the bay as punishment and was then put in jail. Another time, a toothless character made extremely racist remarks about certain shoppers who he presumed to be on foodstamps. Loudly, too. Yet another time, when the register said the cereal I was buying was $5.89 (was supposed to be $2.50), the cashier looked at me and said, "Well, do you want it nor not?" It was like ummm... no, I want you to price check it, you dumb... yeah. LOL... The front end manager at the store in the area I used to live in knew me by name. Not sure what the hiring requirements are there, but holy ****. Also, no offense if anyone works at Walmart. I've met plenty of nice people there too-- just the bad ones that stick out.


    ETA: Racist cashier was fired after my complaint. I genuinely think he was autistic, so I felt a bit bad-- but seriously, you cannot have someone like that working that type of job. It was awful.

    Reminds me of an exchange my sister had one night ordering a Junior bacon cheeseburger from Wendy's.

    Sister: I'd like a Junior Bacon Hamburger please.
    Employee: We only have Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers, not Junior Bacon Hamburgers.
    Sister: Well can you get a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger with no cheese?
    Employee: Yes but you have to ask for a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger, hold the cheese.
    Sister: I'd like a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger, hold the cheese please.
    Employee: Anything else?

    The Walmart I used to work at an go shop at has a lot of stupid employees. I always have a WTF did that really just happen? moments every single time I go through a cashier's line. I'm not sure if any other walmart is like the one I live at but I seriously am astounded to how many just plain stupid employees the walmart here has.

    When I was cashiering for Walmart we were told to ask the customer if they wanted it bagged while we hold the item by the handle to show that it has a handle, basically hinting to the customer that a bag isn't needed. This was to save money on bags. I never asked because I felt like the customer would look at me like I'm a moron, so if something fit in the bag... it went in a bag. If the customer didn't want it in the bag they would usually just take it out themselves.

    I'm betting that store has a cheap manager that is penny pinching. We were told the bags were like .03 cents a piece or something.

    I once asked for a hamburger from Wendy's like this:

    Me: I'd like a single with nothing on it; plain.
    cashier: gives me a hamburger with cheese
    Me: "I asked for a PLAIN hamburger with nothing on it."
    Cashier: "You didn't say you didn't want cheese on it."

    :huh:

    Lol. Bizarre.

    I like when my purchase is 6.25 and I give them a $10 and a loonie ($1 coin for the non-Canadians) and a quarter so I can get a $5 bill back and they get confused and try to give me the coins back. Lol. Thats not just Walmart though.

    This is true. I used to joke around with the personnel manager telling her we needed to give IQ tests instead of that honesty test on the application.

    We must shop at the same Walmart. About a month ago, I was buying some air freshener plug ins and they were about $7 or 8. So, the cashier rings them up.

    Cashier: Wow!! These are expensive. They are $7/8 each
    Me: Yes, they are but I like them.
    Cashier: Let me do a price check on them.
    Me: Pretty sure they aren't on sale. I didn't see a sale price. No need to price check.
    Cashier: That's just too much for air freshener. You don't need to pay that much. I will check the price.
    Me: Whatever
    She does 50 minute price check.
    Cashier: Yep, that's the price. Do you still want them??
    Me: Yes!! That's why I'm in the damn line. Jeez

    I had done a photo shoot and needed the pics in more of a hurry than normal, so I created 4x5 image proofs on 4x6 sheets, with (c) data on them and took them to the 1 hour photo. They refused to release the pictures to me, because of the copyright, which matched the credit card I was paying with, the TAX ID card from that particular store, as well as the photo and name on the Sams Club card I had on me. Because they would need a release from the photographer. I told the lady it didn't matter, as business owner, my claim was above the photographer (even though I was the photographer, but I was po'd and not about to place nice)

    They finally released them after I 'half-*kitten*' filled out the release form, that stated I was the person who commissioned the pics, not the other way around, and even that took a manager.

    :huh:
    This has happened to me too. I never really understood how they somehow thought I wanted the cheese.

    Well then I'd have to explain to the cashier that not everyone in my family follows the same eating regime as I do and I've learned that a happy husband is a quiet husband :wink:
