PEEVE ››


Using mobile phones at the register.

I work nights as a grocery store cashier and I'm sick and tired of people coming up to my register on their mobile phones. It always seems to be the people who are awful at multitasking, so it slows up my line--which can negatively affect my performance reviews--and it's just plain rude. Unless you're a doctor walking an intern through a life-saving procedure, why not quit your lame-ass conversation and actually interact with the human being in front of you. I may only earn minimum wage, but you might find the experience pleasurable all the same.

Oh my gosh! My friend does that all the time. I will be talking with him on the phone and then I hear the register beep and he is just yakking away and Im like "I can hold until you are finished paying, you know".

When I was a cashier I use to just ignore them until they got off the phone. I even took care of customers behind them

It's very rude and dismissive to maintain a phone conversations while interacting with some other person. Some people fail to realize their "oh hey...howz it going...oh nothing....at the store...." can wait until a few seconds later. I did my time in retail too. I would generally not speak at all to people who were engaged in a cell phone conversation, or look them in the eye really. I just did my job and let them GTFO. It's so rude of them.

I quite agree with you all.

I am always aghast when someone does this and refuse to do it myself. I've cut conversations short when I got to the front of the line. No conversation is so important and if it is, maybe you should wait to finish it before you get in line.

I have to admit, I usually am pretty good about not doing that but today I totally had a conversation while in the check out line lol

UGH. I hate this, it's SO rude! And when I'm at the register, I feel like the "bad guy" because I dare to interrupt the person's precious conversation of "not much" to, you know, do my job.

I always get stuck behind these people. The poor cashier keeps telling the rude person their total while being completely ignored. I've seen it with iPods too.

I was walking along yesterday and a man on his cell was walking toward me, he was alone. He kept swearing and cussing and saying all manner of nasty words. It was vile.

It's even worse when they won't say to the person 'hold on a sec' so they can say thank you or bye to the cashier. That happened to me once. I asked the woman quietly if I could help her when she came in, and at the cash I gave her her total, asked if she needed a bag...all she did was nod or shake her head. And her conversation was all about facebooking. Not exactly so important that she couldn't interrupt her friend to say 'yes' 'no' 'thank you'.

Jarosław Kaczyński był charyzmatycznym liderem, jakkolwiek w tym momencie aktualnie zanim nie jest. Nie pokazuje, o jaką Polskę chce bić się. On walczy tylko spośród Donaldem Tuskiem. Toczy prywatną wojnę. Uszło z niego to powietrze lidera, przywódcy, męża stanu. Stał się takim człowiekiem, kto walczy o swoje własne sprawy - ocenił w "Kropce ponad i" w TVN 24 Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz. Zdaniem byłego premiera w najbliższym czasie partie prawicowe zajmą się sobą, oraz tuż nim

I met this woman through a mutual friend! We had this attraction that was just unexplainable. After the third day of knowing her she gave me her address after I asked for it and we had sex for almost 2 hours. Probably the best and hottest sex of my life. We continued to see each other every evening for the next 2 weeks. The only reason we did not continue this is because her husband came back from deployment. Yes, he was deployed. We did not just have sex, but rather spent time getting to know o
