I was at the dollar store the other day getting various items including restocking my snack/candy stash at work. I also happened to be hungry so I got a single Butterfinger. The helpful cashier pointed out that I would get a "better" value by purchasing the larger snack pack. I politely smiled and told her, "No, thank-you." She looked down at the five other candy/snacks I was getting and said, "Well, you're getting all this sugar already..." and trailed off as she must have caught the incredulous look on my face.
Seriously?! Did she really just say that to me???
Again, I politely smiled and said, "No, thank-you. I am getting things to take back to work and have enough."
Sigh. I guess that's what I get for living in a college town.
Oh my gosh! That is so rude. There's a girl at Broulim's who says stupid stuff like that all the time! One day I was standing in line and a girl in front of me was buying double-stuffed oreos. The cashier rang her up and as she did she said "Oh. I don't like the double-stuffed kind. I like the regular kind. The double-stuffed is just too much..." I was like "really?" comments like that are just out of place and inappropriate when you're selling the product to someone. I like to buy the big Charleston Chews and the same girl- every time she rings me up she says the same exact thing: "Have you ever tried the mini charleston chews? I like them better than the big ones. You should try them. You can find them at maverick." The whole time I just think "Can you just shut up and give me my candy bar?" haha. Your story tops both of mine though. That is so rude!
