Cashiers who stop and have conversations.

You're checking out and they'll stop mid stream to have a conversation with another cashier or worker, like you've disappeared. Can't they contjnue to ring you up at the same time? Yeah, I mad!

There's a difference between cooks and chefs, and there's also a difference between check out girls and cashiers.
Gas stations and Walmarks just need someone with a pulse who can pull the trigger on the bar code scanner.

Seems to happen across the board. Sales clerks, cashiers, checker liters, bank tellers, receptionists, etc.

How else do you expect Destiny to figure out where to get her meth teeth fixed or KeeKee to find out where to get the best yaki braids?

Dude, just let them have theirs. It's not like it's even a 2 minute conversation. At most you have to reply twice.
They're just trying to make the most of their job. You can't fault them on that.
I had a lady ask why my beard was red but my hair was blond.

That move doesn't bother me much. One's that do:
Having a cashier (usually a drive through but will happen at the register in a store as well) hand you something like change or a receipt but refusing to look it your direction. Drives me nuts. I've gotten to the point where I won't take it until they look in my direction and acknowledge they're handing something to a human being.
Saying "thank you" after the exchange and having a cashier tell me, "No problem." No shite...I didn't assume it was a fricking problem, but thanks for letting me know I didn't bother you. How about, "You're welcome" or a, "Thank you."
Yes...now get off my lawn.
This is really more of an issue from having worked retail than getting older.

As I type this, I realize it's completely a picky weird thing that is all part of me being an a-hole, but I can't stand a cashier that talks to me too much, or doesn't say a word at all. There's a happy medium.
There's this hippy woman at the gas station near my house. If you say how's it going, she will talk your ear off for the next 10 minutes. I don't go to that gas station unless absolutely necessary.
Then there's always that clerk that will check you out and not say a single thing like "have a nice day", or "did you find everything you need", or even "that will be $x.xx". They just let you look at the screen and they stand there in silence.
them talking to someone else rarely bothers me unless it holds me up.

agreed...'no problem' is about the rudest possible way to respond to 'thank you' and it irritates the cr*p out of me!!

yep, I constantly rotate where I purchase gasoline. I fear becoming a "regular"

The guy whos usually in the Shell at Perkins by Oak Hills is the perfect medium. He knows most the regulars and makes a one liner and doesn't miss a beat. But then again, he's the owner soo....
BTW, that deli there has damned good food. Natalie's. give it a shot if you passing by and honegry.

You're missing out, there are a ton of perks that come with being a regular at the gas station. I can't tell you the last time I actually paid for a small scented rose in a glass case. They also have these great scented bath salts. I feel kind of numb when I use them, so they aren't the best quality, but hey, it's free!

If they could multi-task, they wouldn't have that job.
