Plenty of reasons really. Simple things often are not simple in retail when you are short staffed dealing with fools and doing more then 1 job at a time. Some people are just so batshit or exhausting to deal with.

Also a lot of the "they forgot my *insert item* is the guest themselves fucking up leaving a bag behind. Had many people leave their drink on the counter after I hand it to them.

Yeah, you can always tell in these topics who has worked retail and who hasnt. It was a big order and I had set the bag in question off to the side(with a big order, you quickly run out of room to bag in, especially if the customer is slow to bring their cart down)and this was during a rush, and the cashiers are speed demons because the company tracks how fast they ring and they get in trouble if they dont ring fast enough.
And of course most customers just sort of stand there either making small talk or looking at you impatiently. The bag wound up going home with the next customer.

That was years ago though, and I didnt even realize it had happened at the time, Im just explaining how stuff like that happens. On the rare occasions that it even does.
