back in the mid 80's the check out girls were being groomed to say 'have a nice day' at the end of a transaction, a lot were rude or just couldn't care less.
one day i concluded my transaction, i was iles away thinking about a work problem when i heard 'have a nice day', i looked up and said 'pardon' and got 'whats wrong, yer deaf or something', ahhh, customer service.

I went into a Race Trac to get a cup of coffee, and waited my turn in line. The customer in front of me kept quite a distance from the one in front of her, and when the customer at the counter finished, the woman turned and reached for a candy bar. I simply walked around her, and laid my coffee on the counter. The sales clerk said "she was next" and I said she was still shopping. He argued, I left the coffee on the counter and turned away. Saw a manager on the way out, and all that she said was I could have the coffee at no charge, to which i declined. That cost the company a lot more than that, because my five students and myself have quit stopping at that store twice a day, five days a week. Got to love people who can't finish shopping before they get in line.

I hate being in line when someone at the checkout gets a call and everything stops until they have finished.

I do not tolerate that. I become very vocal in a rather loud voice in the person's face until they have to give up on the phone conversation.

Sometimes you just have to speak up.

I agree, however, sometimes it turns out to be their manager on the other end which puts them between a rock and a hard place. They're in a lose lose situation. So I tolerate it to some degree.

I've been guilty of that more than once. Put your stuff at the checkout conveyor and remember something you forgot to get. If the store's not too busy I'll just leave it there, run back and get what I needed. If someone cut ahead of me, not a big deal.

As far as rude help goes, my worst experiences have been in the Carolinas. Once someone hears my yankee accent, all that phony politeness goes right out the door and you get your change and merchandise just sort of thrown at you.
One would think that the word would have gotten out that the Civil War ended 150 years ago.

Some couples work in tandem; one holds their place in line while the other keeps shopping and bringing things to the cart. It's rather annoying while I'm standing there with my basket, holding 2 weeks worth of groceries.

I was at my local small town bank doing some business. The teller and I got to chit chatting and when it was all done I thought about it and told her "I think you shorted me a dollar". She said she didn't think so and I wasn't sure, but I told her "If your drawer is over a dollar at the end of the day it is mine". This was all done in a very light hearted manner on both sides. Sure enough, a few days later I received a dollar bill in the mail. You got to love small town banks.
