Do cashiers all come from a planet that has no produce?

Between not knowing basic fruits and veggies...
"What dis is?"
- "A Yellow Squash"
to complete and total fruit abuse. Most notably dropping apples into an empty bag on a metal counter from chest high and watching them bounce.

i notice that too, i have had many cashiers look at my produce and ask me if i was going to eat that and what it was.

I can understand more obscure or special varieties of produce, but basic stuff like garlic gets me. Today I kinda lost my shite on the kid who dropped my 2 apples 3 times each and thought it was funny.

Don't typically have a problem with how they treat my veggies/fruit. It's my bread and éclairs they abuse. Gotten to the point I make a comment about my bread and I just grab my éclairs before they pack em in upside down.

Where the hell are y'all shopping? I can't say I've had any problems bagging in the last decade at least. And I'm in a grocery store three or four times a week.

They're generally stumped by my produce choices, including artichoke, horseradish root, bok choy, turnip root and many others that don't simply look like carrots. Some are cool about it and ask how I utilize it, which turns into some quality conversation.
My pet peeves with cashiers:
1. Under no circumstances do I want to see or hear the gum in your mouth.
2. Don't give me a fist full of nickels in change just because you're about to close out your drawer and your lazy arse doesn't feel like counting them.

I shop at rouses, so I don't have this problem.

Albertsons on South Foster was terrible at this but I did get some sweet deals like TaWanda ringing up my 2.99 eggplants as onions and avocados as limes!

Leblanc's, Target, Whole Foods, Walmart in a pinch. If I buy apples, I can guarantee they will slam them onto the scale or into the bag or both. God forbid the little sticker codes are missing on any given item.

I once had a recipe that called for a tiny bit of chopped onion. So, I looked through the bin of yellow onions looking for the smallest one. Damned if I didn't find one the size of a golf ball.
Check out girl: What is this?
Me: Yellow onion
Her: Are you sure?
Me: What do you think it is?
Her: I don't know but I need to go see the manager.
She was convinced that this was some sort of expensive exotic fruit and I was trying to pass it off as a cheap yellow onion.

I feel fortunate when I get a "Thank You" at the end of a transaction, and a "Have a Nice Day" or "Come Again" and I feel like I just won the lottery.
Just yesterday I began introducing a new practice of mine, mostly because I'm getting old and don't give a shite anymore I guess. I'm just ending the ordeal with You're Welcome if I don't hear anything from them, with the response in waiting "Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you said Thank You, come again. My bad."
If I am expected to be cordial and kind at work when dealing with customers, certainly those people can master the very basics in human interactions. It's much more inexcusable IMO than being ignorant. That can and should be taught by management, who I lay the blame on. Good manners and knowing right from wrong, you just can't teach, but you can mandate, which is also a management issue IMO.

Sometimes I greet a table and say "hello. How are y'all doing today?" And I get "iced tea" as a response.
I'm always tempted to say "I'm doing great thank you"
I was unaware iced tea was a state of being.. Interesting.

Yeah, it must rank right up there with "here ya go" when the product is bagged and given to you. Must be code for Thank You, come again.
I just need to get with the times I suppose.

The most awesome part is when they ask to repeat the total.
You're holding up the line!

Exactly this. Not sure where they're going for groceries.

For what they charge I'd definitely let them know what's acceptable.

And who is still using checks at the grocery store? Really? I always seem to get stuck behind the person with 90 coupons and wants to make sure that every one is accounted for....then whips out the check book to pay for it
