Primark in town at lunchtime. Cued for about 10 minutes when there was only one person in front of me. Then the woman didn't say one word to me when I was paying for stuff, instead talking to her colleague about how she couldn't wait to go on holiday, and how much she hated her job. She didn't even ask me for payment - just nodded at the card reader.

.................I am not known for being a patient person.....! (understatement!) When there is a load of customers in front of me, and many tills not staffed, I find a member of staff, and ask 'is there any danger of getting anymore staff on the tills?' Amazingly, they find someone. If I can see there are people waiting and no extra cashiers why the hell can't they? |I must agree with the OP who mentioned about staff taliking to people they know, fine if they are working, what really annoys me is when they STOP working to talk!!

I know it's not a supermarket, but Law Brothers petrol station is well deserving of a honourable mention.

 

They employ a couple of salad-averse, middle-aged women during the rush hour and one of them inevitably thinks it more important to rearrange the Mars bars than help her colleague deal with the queue that is curling out of the door and in danger of tailing back to the car wash.

 

Are these people incapable of making a rational decision for themselves?

Halfway Morrisons a couple of weeks ago, was there pretty late, 20 minutes to close and there were only a handful of shoppers left. There was an asian bloke on the tills (slightly tubby) and I could hear he was particularly comedic with the customers punting through. It came to me and my solitary bottle of Jack Daniels came to a stop. Ping/kaching followed with a "would you like a hand with that sir, huh huh huh?"... I said "hehehehe.........no.".

Behind me was a lady, with a couple of ladies things. He just stared at her, she said "well", he said "what". That made me smile :)

 

Edit: sorry for the SIX year delay :o
