Recap: Bakery clerk for a large supermarket chain
People need to learn how to freaking behave, they really do.
Today at work, a customer came up with a question about some store-made cookies he was buying. He wasn't the sucky customer, but he does need to be mentioned because I was speaking with him when the incident occurred. Apparently the last package he bought was hard, and he wanted to know if he could open the new one and check. I said 'yes' - if it's stale I neither want it on my shelf, nor do I want him to go home with it - and as I'm informing him of both this and our refund/replacement policy, something that looks like a loaf of bread comes into the corner of my vision, then withdraws. I figure someone thought I was done, and was trying to get my attention for something else by shoving it in my face - sucky enough, but no, that's not what happened.
The entire time I'm talking to this guy, some jackass standing behind me is pushing a package of rolls (moldy, so they did need my attention, but!) into my peripheral vision, waving them around, then pulling them back and starting over again!
So...goddamn...rude...
The cake decorator finally came over and dealt with them, but really. What makes someone think that it's all right to behave like that? Yes, the rolls needed to be brought to my attention (that's a matter for outsourcing_sucks, though, since that's supposed to be taken care of by the company that brings that particular brand in) but I was speaking to another customer!
Stupid, stupid, rude people. May Darwin take them all.
