Here is a list of things not to do at the supermarket:

Remember that the Cashiers do not make any company decisions therefor do not yell at them for company policies if you really want to relieve you anger talk to a store manager or even better ask for the number to the corporate headquarters.

Another thing...most cashiers do not care that much about their jobs. There are tons of other retail jobs out their paying the same pay. Therefor if you threaten a cashier that you are going to talk to a manager or call the head office on them they won't care. First, they most likely will not get fired or and second they won't care if they do.

The cashier light: I haven't seen a supermarket with out light's to indicate whether a register is closed or opened. It's a simple thing to understand...if the light is on the lane is opened if the light is off the land is closed. I have people ask me all the time if I am opened or closed. I can be at register with the light on just standing there waiting for a customer and some one will still feel the need to ask me "Are you opened?", If the light is on and the lane looks opened...it is opened...If the light is off and the lane looks closed its closed

In a rush?�If you do not have the time to shop then don't!! With one flick of a light bulb the lines in supermarket can turn into ones you see at an amusement park! ...and if your in a rush do not disrespect the cashier it is your fault not theirs that you are in a rush. A lot supermarkets are open 24 hours a day I am sure you can pick a better time to shop!!!

Sale Signs: Sometimes I would like to know if supermarket shoppers can read! Customers are always thinking something is on sale and 90% of the time they are wrong!! To avoid hearing those dreadful words "I need a price check" check if the brand, size, and variety match with what is on the sign!

Fruits and Veggies: The little plastic bags located in the produce department are there to protect your produce from getting dirty or acquiring germs. Any unwrapped produce should be put in the bag. Just think about how many things go on the conveyer belt that you?re going to place that food on before you check out. Everything from dog food to detergents to meat blood! Do you like eating this stuff? I know I don't! So if you do not wrap up your produce you may be eating all those things. And also it makes the register a mess for the next person....don't be selfish thing about the next person! If you have quantities of a vegetable wrap them in the same bag so the cashier can ring them all up at once w/o searching for any others. However, do not put two different kinds of produce in the same bag! All produce costs different prices (even two different kinds of apples) therefor needs to be rung up separate especially if the price is by weight or you could be rung up wrong.

Would you like Paper or Plastic? I bet you have heard this question many times I know I said it way to many times! My suggestion is to use both for the heavy things but for the rest you can use plastic. Oh another thing is a lot of people refer to paper bags as just "Bags" like their actually say" oh, Can I have bags please" Can I ask u a simple question if paper bags are called just "bags" then what the do you call a plastic one...? Oh also I heard enough stories about how those plastic ones ripped in your driveway and all your food went all over or how they don't make the bags like they use to and how the food goes all over your car with plastic bags. ..oh wait they are not bags I forgot I mean plastic ah....sacs so do not bother telling me just telling me your story just say you want paper....Thank you!:)

Conveyer Belt: THE CONVEYOR BELT MOVES!!! Do not place coupons, money, fingers, purses, or foreign objects. Many times stuff goes through the slot and you?ll be lucky if you get it back! Sensors now operate most conveyor belts so they do not catch small objects. Many people still think the cashier operates them with a foot pedal.. they are wrong! Welcome into the new millenium!! Divide your order from other people's. Many times a day I ring up other people stuff b/c they do not divide them and they act like it is my fault. This is your stupidity, I can not ring up items and keep track of whose stuff is who?s at the same time!

Giving Change: One thing you fellow shoppers should know is it does not make it easier for you to give the cashier change instead of breaking a dollar if it is going to take you 10 minutes to get the change!!! I always have customers say "oh I have the change to make it easier for you" meanwhile it seems forever for them to get their change, which it will only take me 5 seconds to get the change from my register. Maybe in the older days when the register did not tell you how much change to give back to the customer, hauling out your change will make it easier but now its just a nuisance to have to wait for the customer to gather all the change.

What did you call me? I never thought I had so many names until I started working at a supermarket. I have been called so many different things it is unbelievable. I had people call me: honey, babes, kid, dude, son, sunny, etc. My real name is on my nametag! You do not have to call me these ridiculous things I'm not your son, your baby your kid or anything else I have a name and if you want to call me by something use my real name! How would you like if I said to you "would you like paper or plastic dude?" or "How are you doing babes?" I do not think you will like it and I know I don't so just use my name or nothing at all!!!
