It's a myth! Having spent time on the checkouts during busy periods I know that 10% of guys try that  it's almost as common as the 'how much?', the 'I only came in for bread' and of course the 'pocket tappers'
And of course they all think they're the first to think of it  |

Does this kinda thing really result in feelings of 'dickhead'?!
I think this kinda thing is to be applauded in this day and age tbh. If someone came in to my work and gave my an admiring glance and called me by my name, I'd be pretty chuffed....
Seems like these days that if you so much as smile at someone in the street you're labelled a twat / dickhead / perv / creep etc etc etc....
I'm all for the 'old fashioned' ways of meeting people - I.e through conversation and in person rather than having to subject folk to a 27 step online vetting process before even deciding it's ok to speak to them.
Maybe that's just me.... But if someone smokes at me, I'll smile back. |

To be honest with you, even when I worked on the tills in Safeway 20+ years ago, someone thanking me by my name would've resulted in those feelings so its nothing new. Don't get me wrong, I'm a generally happy guy and I was back then too but those shifts could be 3-4 hours long and you do get some really irksome/smug/nasty twats that come through there and think your only purpose on earth is to serve them so even if Mother Teresa herself came through the till next, I'd find it hard to raise and smile and forget the last arsehole who'd just degraded me.
It was good to have a chat with some folk though but you have to be aware that some people just want to shop, pay and get the hell out of there so if you're yabbering away to someone, the one behind thinks you aren't going as fast as you old be so they're getting pissed off and the cycle starts again. It's a bloody minefield! |

Aah the joys of working in retail. Don't you just love the general public.
Only time I like working with the public was when I worked the doors, that way when some cheeky fucker got lippy you could tell then to fuck off and actually call them a dickhead/twat etc without reprisals.
But yes I do long for those olden days when courtesy and good manners were something that was the norm.
Funnily enough the worst offenders are the elderly |

If someone is chatting and being friendly then no but if someone is acting like a smug git who thinks you're stupid enough not to realise you have a name badge on then yes 
I am generally a happy cheerful person who likes nattering away and being helpful but some people treat you like a piece of shit on their shoe  |

My actual role is training and personnel and I am responsible for recruitment. Last year I had a guy phone me because he couldn't get thro our online recruitment. Long story short he was a pompous arsehole. Saying he'd worked in sales for 30 years and it was 'only' a job in Asda etc etc.
My boss ended up going on the phone and saying 'sir I wouldn't even waste your time with our online site because I can tell that you don't have the right attitude and are not someone we would wish to come and work with us here at Asda. I hope you have a nice day. Goodbye' we all gave her a round of applause when she hung up lol xx |

Love it.
Used to work with a lady who thought she was a few stations above the tills because she worked in an office.
At that time my entire family worked in Argos. I remember having an argument that she wouldn't last a shift in there. Between the digital tills and the running about between Customer Service Desk the collections she would lose her rag at someone and get sacked.
Pompous bitch's attitude was that was why she worked in an office. Her pompous attitude got her the sack when we installed new IT equipment andshe refused to learn.
I hate the general public as it is buy I despise the ones who look down the end of their noses at people on a till.
Incidentally I saw a snooty woman tear strips off a girl in my local. Called her a stupid girl etc.
Saw the look on her face when the stupid girl tore her face back, " I am a 4th year law student so don't call me fuckin stupid you dozy cow"
I couldn't sack her....................
