It's not really a suck, but oh my lord, customers like this just make me shake my head.

Yesterday was nice enough outside, right? I think it was mid-70s and lovely and sunny. And I get this one customer. She wasn't mean or bitchy or anything, really. But she had to be at least middle-aged, with fresh-from-the-tanning-bed tanned skin with all sorts of wrinkles around her eyes and mouth, and her hair was streaked with blonde. And then there was her outfit. She had on some trendy-looking track capris that look like Juicy Couture knockoffs with a string bikini holding up some impressive-looking boobs underneath a white mesh shirt.

First of all....it wasn't THAT nice out to warrant going out with a string bikini top and a mesh shirt over it, FFS. And second of all, it really didn't look all that age-appropriate.

But she had a pretty big order full of snack foods and other name-brand expensive shit. She was giggling over how excited she was because her grandson was visiting her for the week. Yep, you read that right: GRANDSON. The way she was dressed, she might have been 45-going-on-21.

Then she swiped her card, and was then griping about how bad her eyesight was and that she could barely make out the screen. What, Hot Gramma doesn't want to wear her glasses that she conveniently left at home for fear that it'll make her look...well, like a GRANDMOTHER?!

The only reason I'm not posting about this over there is because I know I've bitched about it before, but someday I may write a book about my experiences working in a grocery store.

You're in the grocery store, and you get in line at a register to be rang up. There is someone in front of you who already has an order on the conveyor belt. What do you do before you put your stuff on the belt?

A) Absolutely nothing.
B) Put a divider up.

If you selected A, you're an idiot. Why? Because the cashier--being too busy paying attention to what he/she is ringing up for the previous order--will not know where the current order ends and yours begins. If he/she ends up ringing up your order with the previous order, it's your damn fault for not putting a divider up between the orders.

If you selected B, you're smart! I can't get mad at you because you did the right thing!

Dividers--they're there for a reason. USE THEM!
