Crazy People

What is in the water that is making people crazy? Is it the oil spill? I've noticed more and more people getting angrier and angrier over stupid small stuff. Okay so this lady comes into the store where I work (grocery/retail), and she comes through my line, the last few items she has are banannas, grapes, and mushrooms. So as any normal cashier does I placed them all in the same bag. None of them are going to hurt each other, banannas are heavier than grapes and grapes are heavier than mushrooms, so anyone with higher than a 3rd grade education knows which order they go in the bag.

So anyways, I tell the lady her total and then she looks at me and says "did you just put my banannas in that bag?". I replied "Yes mam, all your fruits and veggies are in one bag together, and she FLIPS. Instead of asking nicely and saying "can I get a seperate bag for the banannas" or something like that, she flips the f*** out on me. She starts ranting "your squishing my bananas" "they are going to be ruined" "why did you put my bananas in that bag"....so with as straight a face as I could I looked at her and said "seriously....you're freaking out over bananas". In my opinion anyone who freaks out over bananas should be shot in the head because you are an idiot.

So she huffs and puffs her way out of the store and I laugh the entire time because I just can't believe how stupid some people can be. THEY ARE BANANA'S I SWEAR THAT THEY WONT GET HURT BY THE EVIL GRAPES!! AHHHH!! but watch out for those mushrooms, I hear they hold grudges.

omg...seriously.

Oh, and then earlier in the day I had this older couple who came through my line and I had a very nice coworker of mine that was helping me bag items, and maybe she doesn't have as much training as some of the other people as far as bagging goes, but it wasn't like she killed someone.

So Amy* (name changed), bags the groceries. The couple had a mixture of cold and not cold stuff. Some of the cold stuff got put with some stuff that wasn't cold, and this old lady gets all upset and says "that dumb mexican needs to go back to school and get an education"...well since I've officially had it with mean and rude people, I looked right at her, pointed my finger and said "listen to me lady, she might have not bagged your items how you want them bagged, but at least she bagged them, maybe she needs more hands-on training, but one thing she is not stupid, and just because she is a mexican is absolutely irrelevant". I told her not to come through my line again if she is going to be mean and rude to my coworkers. She looked at me all surprised and then left with her husband and I repeated to her that she was extremely rude.

So people the next time you are out and about and you think you are going to blow up at someone, you better hope it isn't me...because I'll put you in your damn place. People need to take some chill pills.
