Happy Cashiers

We all have bad days, but I don´t see why we should mpose them on th rest. He has a job and part of it is to be nice. Age has nothing to do with it. I don´t have more rights to be rude because I´m old. If I am in a very good mood, I can let it pass once. But not more than that. I will not be bullied.

People in Customer Service should never be rude. It is because of their attitude and or bad service that will cause people to stop shopping at such stores. I have done a lot of customer service/secret shopping at stores as many owners want to make sure their employees are not rude to customers. Sadly sometimes employees are having bad days and seem like they are taking out their bad mood on customers. I do not appreciate that if it happens at a store because it is not my fault that they are not happy somehow. When I am having a bad day, I don't take it out on other people. Usually I don't say much if it happens once but if it were to happen more then once I would point out to the worker that many people today are jobless and would like their job, therefore, they could quit as no one is forcing them there. This is of course in cases where it is apparent that employees hate their jobs.

hi ja. the only reason those cashiers are smiling is because you decided to partake of your hard-earned cash and give it to them. lol!!! just kidding ja! about what had happened to you, if it had happened to me, i would have let it go and not mind it at all. i don't let other people, no matter how annoying they are to affect my mood. i'm just not cut out like that. anyway, hope you see more happy cashiers! cheers!!!

I don't mind a happy cashier. But jolly peck-er sales people are a different matter and the other day I ran into a greeter ????? I walked out and could not be bothered

I would just let it go. I'll give him a smile too to make his day better.

From experience, it is the customers that dictate the humour/mood of the cashier. I find that it only takes one customer to be verbally rude, dismissive and downright ignorant to put me in a bad form. Having said that, there are customers that put me in a good mood when I serve them so I suppose it works both ways...

Personally I definately agree with you. When you go shopping somewhere and you need help finding something, you definately want people who are curteous and will help you. Especially if it is a store where the people earn a wage plus commission. I know not everyone is going to have a GOOD day all the time, but many tend to forget when working with others to let everything go that is bothering them and to give their customers a good shopping experience so they will want to keep coming back for sure.

There is one place that I have NEVER had a rude cashier! It is a local Chic Fil A restaurant here.I have looked to see if anything makes anyone upset.The staff is always smiling and gracious no mater what I say or ask of them.I have never seen them make a face that show's a,"Oh no I gotta do this...." look.I thought about that and have looked for it among that staff and never see it.

Happy cashiers, happy teachers, happy students--it makes my day a bit better when the people around me are happy/content/not acting like jerks.But when they do, I just try to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they had a bad day.

Hi ja hernandez rivas: Same happend to me. This makes part of the service. In my case I think I'd feel upset with the way this person has treated me and I probably won't go back to this place anymore. I understand that people may have a bad day but a person with these kind of responsabilities should control this and give a good service. A bad temperament won't help you when you are working with people. ALVARO

Cashiers are part of those frontliners of the company. Hence as such, they are supposed to put on at least a happy face to every customer. Though sometimes, there are really rude ones. When that happens , you can complain about them to the store manager. But in the case of an elder person, it's okay if they do it once. But if they will always do that, then maybe you can tell them that they are rude and next time, you will report his rudeness to the manager.

Unfortunately, I believe rudeness runs rapid in todays world. Finding someone who is polite is rare. I think it's sad. People will even run into you while their walking and never even say excuse me. It's really hard to tell if this person is always rude or not. I would've done the exact thing you did. I would just ignore them. He could've been having a bad day. Or maybe he's just getting old and doesn't want to work there anymore but has no other alternative. Some people get stuck in a job they hate but can't afford to change their situation. Best Wishes!

I haven't really met any rude cashier or the helper in a store. They are pretty much always happy coz that's their job, to look happy and cheerful and help the customer! Really, you'll hardly find a cranky salesperson here. They are pretty much happy looking and soft spoken.

If the cashier is older than me, then like you maybe I would just let it pass once. But if I come across the same incident with the same person, then definitely I will say something. Not totally argue but tell him how I feel. I have argues with some cashiers before, especially the young ones. Some lady cashiers work like they are not in their right minds and they wear that nasty angry look in their face like you have stolen them a lunch. I definitely don't let that pass. As a customer, I deserve to be treated well especially when I have not done anything to her or him. And having experienced working in the field of retailing, I know how they should be working. All people have problems and it should not be brought to work. There was one time a cashier was in a bad mood at the grocery and she scans and throws the things to the bagger. It made her break some of the eggs, and it was really too much at that time. I was also not in the mood and I can still remember I complained her to her supervisor at that time.

Well I don't know. Maybe you are right, he might have a bad day, and you can let him go since he is old. We all have a bad day from time to time, and we hope that other people would understand us too. I hope that next time you visit that supermarket again, he will be better, and he would smile at you.
