I'm Irritated

[poetstud1981]

what about when someone says, can i help you? when ur shopping. if i needed help i would have looked for you know

or they ask you how much this cost, when the price is listed on it i mean look at it duh.

or they buy fruit and ask what is it. or what is that pointing to something they see, if i knew would u be asking me about it

When Ive lost something and am told "well it must be somewhere" or "when did you last have it"

I buy a loaf of bread "Would you like help with your packing?"

When politicians say "The fact of the matter is.." or "at the end of the day.." "let me repeat.."

or worse "let me repeat that, at the end of the day the fact of the matter is that we need to be on a level playing field and put our cards on the table... sorry what was the question?"

Here's what I hate:

When you go to the grocery store and your two bags worth of groceries are divided into twelve bags by the idiot cashier. First of all, I'm not a frail old woman. I can handle two cans of tuna in one bag. Second, what in the hell am I going to do with all those bags besides ruin the environment?

I'm a neat freak by nature so I tend to arrange all of my items on the belt for minimal bag usage. It never matters, though. I still get 12 bags!

I have a friend who gets all bent out of shape when somebody in public calls him "sir." I'll never understand what the big deal is. They don't know his NAME, after all.

That's remained true even up to now, as he is in his final stages of terminal lung cancer which has spread.

That is a tactic referred to as microwaving the customer. It is used in loss prevention/assest recovery, to let the person know that they have drawn the attention of the worker. It scares many would-be theives from shoplifting. I find it most effective after the would-be shoplifter has concealed the merchandise, but prior to leaving the immediate area. They ususally will end up ditching the merchandise a few aisles down.

Sorry that it happens to you. Your shopping habits may be catching the attention of the sales staff as suspicious activity.
