Cell Phones

People on their cell phone in the check out line.

I don't mind people using their cell phones in the store, but when you are in the checkout line, hang up the dang phone. It's not only rude to the cashier, but the people behind you.

Surely You Jest

Katey writes -
When people say 'surely not'. Shirley is a name and shouldn't be used as any thing else (in my opinion).

Hot Dogs/buns

When you buy a package of 10 hot dogs and then can't find a package of hot dog buns with any more than 8 buns in it.

Bagging Groceries

My pet peeve this week is:

Baggers who don't know how to sack properly.


Explanation:

• Cold items bagged separate from other items.
• Meat especially bloody meat bagged separate from lunch meat and other items (besides this is health department regulations---IE: the bagger is breaking the law when they don't separate raw meat).
• Chemicals and Soaps bagged separate from foods and any non-food items that you would put in your mouth (like mouthwash, toothpaste, and tooth brushes). These particular non-food items should be bagged with groceries or other "safe products."
• Eggs and bread generally bagged by themselves.

Using the Dividers in the Checkout

People not putting the dividers behind their orders in the supermarket check out.

Explanation:

As a cashier, it makes it more difficult to distinguish between the end of yours and the beginning of the next. There may not be any behind you at the moment, but could be by the time you finish checking out. It's just good manners to be prepared.

As a customer, behind you, I may not be able to reach the divider and feel like the customer ahead of me is being rude when they don't have the divider behind their order.
