I am speaking about cashiers, waiters/waitresses, tellers, etc.
Ever since I became a cashier last year, some disturbing things have come to my attention. The vast majority of people are polite enough, some are very kind even when thing go wrong. But there are times when people become downright abusive! If there's item doesn't have a price or scan code, if their card won't go through, if the lines are long, if someone needs extra help and takes a long time in the line, and other things. People will get very rude. Why do people think they have the right to scream at people they don't know? Service people are human beings, they are not automated machines. Cashiers don't have the power to make a debit or credit card go through if it doesn't go through. It is not our fault if you bring us something with no price on it.
What do you guys think? How many of you have service jobs and have experienced abuse?
I think this could be a interesting discussion.
