Working in retail for a while, every single thing mentioned here is 100% true.

haven't worked retail in years but the thing they do where you hold out your hand and they throw the money on the counter used to piss me off to no end
Not as bad as when, with 15 minutes left before close, you close off a section of the store to brush and mop it, and some b**** MOVES CHAIRS OUT OF THE WAY TO GET INTO THAT SECTION. WHEN THERE IS NOBODY ELSE IN THE STORE.
when I worked in fast food I hated when customers would come right at closing, because it meant we had to stay late to clean stuff up and the pay was ****. any retail other than fast food was better though because it gave you an excuse to stay on the clock longer without doing any real work (unless you count talking to people as 'work') and the pay was slightly better too.
I just got my "5 Years of Service" nametag last night and felt pathetic. Then I read 10 pages of this and laughed forever. Although I did make my own that I didn't see in the first 10 pages:

always pissed me off when people would say that because I knew I'd see them in a day or two, it's like for once I'd like one of you cretinous worms to actually make good on that promise and step on a landmine or get impaled by a rhinoceros on your way out
having done both I can safely say that working 16 hour days in sweatshop conditions >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dealing with the idiocy of the average american for 8 hours a day...that's my optimistic side on it, I'd like to think that it's merely cultural and maybe people aren't so bad elsewhere
I ask "do you work here" sometimes when I can't really tell if it's an employee or not and I don't want to ask some random black dude which aisle the olive oil is in.
Also no one means it when they say "how are you today?" so I see no problem in ignoring the question.

I hope you don't mind them ignoring your questions as well. Be a jerk to them, don't expect any sort of quality service from them.

It sounds more like a corner store that sells groceries then a grocery store.

Well be have a butcher and everything!
From: Leebo86 | #046 2 employees for a grocery store? How big is it 200 square feet?
I honestly have no idea but it's really not big. Only 2 lanes (probably only reason why there's 2 employees, so the only one can help if one lane isn't enough)
Ive had someone completely ignore me when I said "Hello!" quite loudly, as they looked me in the eye. 5 minutes later they were looking for something and said "Hey" to me. I completely ignored them back.
Then he comes back with a louder "I NEED HELP" so I turned and asked him what he was looking for. I told him the exact opposite direction, disappeared out back and watched him desperately look for it on a wild goose chase on the cameras. Curses and all.
