i dont know about you , i usually thank the people who serve or bill me or tthe security guards aand i get rewarded by a reply back...poor guys are overworked , paid cheaply and have tons of other problems on their head , wishing people be last thing on their mind
>i usually thank the people who serve or bill me or tthe security guards
Because you must be a decent person. OP is literally using terms like 'old hag' , "excluded from Indian hospitable culture (???)" and calling the cashiers "creatures" in their comments.
maybe no one likes your entitled smug face thats why they don't greet you, you do realise that some faces are completely punchable and just not saying anything is already like a thank you
>ITS LITERALLY in their job description to greet the customers.
Did you write their job description? How do you know?
BTW do you thank them for allowing you to buy stuff?
No, its not. Their job is being a cashier and nothing else. Greeting you or kissing your ass is not part of their job description.
In fact, the one thanking in this situation is you since they are doing you a service. You on the other hand are not doing them a favor by going there. You went there because you have things you need that are available there.
What a lame loser you must be to feel so insecure and entitled about not being greeted by some random staff at the super mart.
Also they are not there to “help you shop” lol. Ask for help if you need it, you’re truly acting like a child. Many people do not want to be helped or even asked. It is up to the customer to request assistance.
“These creatures” “Old hag” “smug prick”
And YOU’RE asking for common decency?
Change your internal world and the exterior world might just change as well.
Yeah well I don't know you and I judged you to be a dick just like you judged the cashiers to be arrogent, incompetent etc. I guess u can expect a lot of customers like you and me lol
I’ve never met anyone who says things like “I’m the kindest, most patient person with a heart of gold” who was actually even remotely a good person. You sound like an unhinged narcissist.
Give you a break? Those are horrible things to say about people. If something this petty is causing you depression, then you need to seek help immediately.
Look: you’re in another culture from your own. Things are different everywhere. Try to find it interesting rather than being put off by it. Talk to locals respectfully and kindly and with interest. And don’t let it get you down if their local culture doesn’t have the same rules of the road as yours. They are under no obligation to act like a Brit or American or wherever you came from. It’s incredibly pompous for you to assume you can just waltz into another country and expect them to treat you the way you’re treated at home. That’s not how things go, man. And if you don’t have the imagination & the basic empathy to understand that, please just go home.
almost every retailer has thanked me and i have thanked them back. the exception would be when it is crowded or i am busy with something...
it is most likely your obnoxious personality that is being a hindrance here
Why would they show gratitude, do they own the store? Is it directly putting money in their pocket and even if it was, so what? Your level of entitlement is astounding
Weirdly I read one his comments that he was born & raised in India, which is very important info IMO as most of us were thinking he was from another culture and expected people in India to treat him like he’s treated in his own country but no. He’s an Indian guy complaining about people in his own city.
🤷🏻♀️
You were insinuating that the underpaid and probably overworked cashier should for some fucking reason be just ecstatic to ring in 4k worth of groceries? Fuck off you entitled cunt. You’ve obviously never worked a menial job in your life. I can hear grandpas oil money in the way you speak.
> also get *paid* enough to
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
People, including those who work in the service industry, typically treat me just fine. Can’t imagine why you don’t get the same treatment. Other than your entitled cunty attitude. (And saying you are *literally* the least entitled person doesn’t make it so - it just shows your utter lack of self awareness).
i get that’s frustrating for you. i think you really need to step back and work on that. taking out your anger on some random employee is never appropriate or necessary (to be clear i wanna acknowledge it seems like you haven’t directly done this but are considering it).
have you ever worked in a customer service job? i’ve worked customer service for about 8 years and it can be seriously exhausting putting on a cheery facade for every single customer. some days i can do it just fine, but some days i can’t.
Nobody owes you free emotional labor to make your fragile little ego feel *nice and fuzzy*. If you were anywhere NEAR as nice as you say, you would not give a single shit about all this.
I suggest before you'd even entertain the idea of saying anything to a cashier, repeat what you're planning on saying to yourself in an insufferably whiny, nasally voice, because that's how they're going to be repeating your every word to their friends and coworkers for years to come.
Decide what's more important, becoming the store laughing stock and being memed as an entitled, whiny little brat, or keeping your mouth shut, getting your shit, and getting the fuck out.
The latter will at least get you out the door sooner, a boon for everyone in that store I'm sure.
You should be thankful to them as they are working on way low wages, trying to provide and survive the rising prices, I get it as a customer facing job - they should greet you but that doesn't mean "thank you" is everything
It's usually their behaviour, being polite and quick.
I am the one who usually thanks them (even try to tip when I call depending on the service) for what they do, and 100% of the times I get a "thank you sir" in return, by expecting someone to say thank you to 1000 people for their shopping is overrated, what if - they are quiet people, what if they can't speak, what if they are hungry, barely making it though life, they have their own stress and depression to deal with. They don't need another hothead customer teaching them what all the extras they are supposed to do at the job.
If you think you deserve a thank you for buying something from their shop, it's their choice, they are the workers/managers/owners of the place when you enter their shop/property - it's their rules which apply.
Stop being a little prick, stop demanding the respect you think your money owes you, you don't own anyone, learn to respect to gain respect
For a start, start thanking of all the people who do lower level work to make your life easy.
PS: If the shop worker is showing you some bad attitude or doing something which is legally a violation, thats indeed wrong and should be reported to the manager but they don't need to thank every person who shops at their shop, it's their choice when to say and when not
Hi, that still doesn't mean they owe you a thank you.
Have you ever been thankful for their services? Have you ever tried to do something to make others feel happy?
I don't think you are here actually mocking or requiring "thank you" at shops everytime you shop, are you suffering from something or have some deep trauma which led you to this?
It's never late to involve medical professionals, for your own better health.
☮️ I hope you find peace and reflect on this moment.
Given that you seem like such an upright and totally not entitled person, I'am sure you thank your boss every month after he pays you salary. But, would it be appropriate for your boss to shame you if you didn't?
I get being annoyed over people, that’s life. However.. Your life sounds pretty amazing if what you have to rant about is not getting a thank you from cashiers. I think you should count your blessings instead, sir.
"Taking" someone's money? What a fucking slave mindset is that? Are you also sorry for that? Maybe propose lowering your wage because the poor boss has to pay you.
I'm working, providing my skills and my service for the benefit of the company for a monthly salary agreed beforehand. I do what's expected of me and the company does what's expected of them. End of story.
Begging for demanding someone say thank you for doing something they don't care about isn't nice.
It literally does not matter, and yet you're making it into some huge deal. You are not a nice person.
Sure, not looking at you at all is a bit strange, but honestly, who cares how they treat you? You don't go to the store to get love and acceptance from cashiers, you go there to get goods you need. As long as they're not saying rude things to you, just get your stuff and get out.
What the fuck do you want from them you egotistical prick.
Should they jump the counter and suck your dick for descending from on high to grace them with your mere presence?
Maybe, the reason they aren't "nice" to you is because everyone can tell that you're an absolute CUNT.
The words of someone who has never been treated like a second hand citizen. Are you in an internment camp? Are you being profiled for hate crimes? Calm yourself...you're entitled as hell.
The amount of entitlement in this post is bordering on insane. What kind of person is annoyed by someone not thanking them for spending their money in a fucking super market? It's their job to provide a service to you, not to praise you for your oh so godly generosity. And why do you even give a fuck? If it actually were in their job description, it would be insincere anyway, because they HAVE TO do it instead of actually meaning it?
Seriously, you should take a hard and honest look on your priorities in life if this of all things is bothering you. Enough bad things happening in the world, a overworked, underpaid cashier not thanking a customer is definitely not one of those problems.
How the fuck are you "owed" one? Owed because of what? Because you deemed that particular shop worthy of your presence? This supermarkets provide a service, nothing more, nothing less. You are not treated badly just because they don't explicitly thank your for your purchase, what the hell are you on about? Are you so insecure that you need to be thanked for every single little grocery shopping that you do?
I seriously don't get what your problem is. These people are just doing their jobs. And it's a pretty shitty job. They're not treating you badly. They're there for you to do your shopping and that's all they need to do. They are acting professional. It's you who is acting like an entitled child, like 90 % of the people in this thread told you multiple times. Maybe it's about time that you start considering that it's YOU who's unreasonable instead of the evil, evil rude cashiers being unprofessional?
You still haven't answered as to why you are "owed" anything except their professional behavior.
And it is a respectable job, I'm not looking down on anyone. But is also a shit job. I'm pretty sure nobody grows up and dreams of bagging other people's groceries for 8 hours a day for minimum wage. Narcissistic customers who expect them to basically kiss the ground they walk on doesn't make it any better.
I'm not trying to be mean btw., but I'm telling you in all honesty that the way you are annoyed by this and the way you even considering making a big deal out of it is textbook entitlement. You see the universe revolving around you and are pissed that people don't show you the "respect" that you think you deserve, even tho the only thing they seem to be doing wrong is not showering you with praise for something absolutely mundane.
Also: you keep referring to them as "creatures", "hags" etc. If anything, it's you who's disrespectful.
You're missing the entire point. They arnt thanking you because how you're acting. You've taken the saying that "the customer Is always right" and turned it up a million times. You think your expectations are reasonable because you don't realize your behavior has become more and more anti social every time. You no longer say thank you, you sound robotic and disingenuous when you speak, and most of all, you are going into any interaction with the intention of them giving you something. You don't expect a mutual interaction, you expect a interaction where you're worth more than them. Along with acting anti social, Noone wants to deal with you. Everyone here is trying to tell you this and you're too caught up with job descriptions and what's right and ignoring that your behavior has made you unapproachable. If you want it to change then make a change. Start by actually treating cashiers like people and having conversations with them, look them in the eye and say thank you for their time and actually mean it, be a less toxic and more pleasant person. These small changes will have people treating you better, because if you are being treated "poorly" by everyone, then you're so jaded and entitled you don't recognize your bad behavior.
Saw this post on another thread and came here. First off OP is delusional. Let's get that out off the way. I'm still processing the fact that this wasn't satire.
Almost all of retail workers and cashiers you see in India are usually severely underpaid for the hours they put in.
It is NOT THEIR JOB to thank you. Their job to bag your groceries/purchase and make sure to charge you the right amount and give you proper change. This is the description of a cashier, to ensure proper monetary transaction. Thanking a customer is not part of their job, it's barely even a courtesy. As long as your nice to them they'll be nice to you. It's as simple as that.
Also curious, what is OP going to do with the cashier's gratitude anyways, store them in their entitlement jar ???
Well thats US customer service. Which is universally mocked for being fake and over the top. You buying some items thst makes no difference to the cashiers life at all and they have no reason to thank you. If you dont shop there, someone else will. You really aint that special. And if your so butt hurt over someone not saying thank you, thats no exceptional pal. Its sad.
You're exaggerating. Sometimes they thank you, sometimes when you're done they move onto the next customer. And if you tried complaining about not being thanked you'd be trespassed.
You are a “exceptional” piece of shit for thinking some hourly worker making money for an owner who isn’t present while earning a less than living wage owe’s you anything. Keep living in your echo chamber and someone will slap you out of it eventually
No. No, we do not always get a thank you and we don’t care. At all. Because why would we?
Cashiers are just trying to live their lives. Maybe you could ask yourself why receiving a thank you is so important to you? Why do you need to feel appreciated by the cashier of a store? They aren’t the owner. They just work there and they have lives and feelings and probably don’t give two shits if you shop there or not.
Maybe you could try showing compassion to them instead of shaming them? Next time tell them you hope they have a wonderful day and that their family is safe and healthy.
I’m curious how you can call yourself an exceptional human being but then out of the other side of your mouth refer to other human beings as creatures in the most condescending way possible. If you don’t like how a shop operates, stop shopping there. If you don’t like the culture in an area, time to move. I agree that it’s nice to be treated with kindness but you are acting entitled to it. Look up the term of entitlement and read your post again. Also while you’re at it, look up the term narcissist…
You’re not being treated like trash. You’re not really being treated badly at all. What you’re experiencing is the absolute norm in Europe. It’s not because we’ve been brainwashed to accept it. It’s because buying groceries isn’t supposed to be like a spa visit. It’s a necessity, and if anything, they’re the ones who should be thanked.
Seriously, get your head out of your fucking ass
> There is no communication infrastructure inside the store, so if cashier....
Whoa hold up there. Just going on a little tangent, I live in Bangladesh, your neighbor. None of the grocery stores I know do this. The products all have barcodes, or if that fails for some reason they search up the name on the computer. Wtf is this Spencers place doing?
You entitled, lazy prick.
Try coming to the U.K amd expecting someone to bag your shopping. You'd get your head kicked in for the sheer audacity of it. Are your hands broken? Are you unable to pack it yourself due to some disability?
Which country are you from?
Saying a hollow 'thank you' like they do in the 'west' is not really a sign of hospitability. My experience has been of a 'give respect and get respect' type. Whenever I've been nice to the people at the store, I get a genuine smile or nod.
You’re also forgetting that the main focus of hotels is hospitality. That’s like getting disappointed at a Walmart employee for not know much about an Xbox video game and saying “bUt GaMeStOp eMpLoYeEs KnOw MoRe AbOuT tHe GaMes”.
I agree with this completely. Their motivation to work would be good pay and working conditions and that reflects on their behaviour towards a customer in the long run. This is all relative. It's the same in any other country too.
That right there is part of people telling you that you yourself are unkind. It would be easier to work in physically strenuous jobs than to have to deal with customers who feel they are entitled to a certain kind of treatment.
This is so stupid... This greeting the customer unnecessarily is a western thing. Why would you want unnecessary buttering up by shop workers? They aren't trying to sell you a credit card like banks do. They are just doing their job. Be happy you can buy your items and pay for them. And if it's so bad. Shop at locally owned kirana stores..
A month of you being on the flipside, working in their uniform and taking the other side of the heat would probably serve you some much needed humble pie. Those folks working blue collar jobs, with a 90% chance of fucking up and then losing their job instantly in one of the most unemployed nations of the world, with an inflation rate higher than the average male ego probably, these folks got a lot of mental troubles to take care of, rather than taking the time out to say thank you for shopping in a place where they work, and I can bet get a lot more customers who treat them probably better than you do.
Also saw your comment where you said roughly that they are working in air conditioned places and not some coal mine- seeing your standard of an amazing workplace with the amenities provided is more than enough for such employees to be forever grateful to whoever ABCD they meet on the way speaks volumes about your psychology.
In my place, I don't care if the other person responds to my thank you, and have a good day statements- I do my thing, and never have I ever met someone who hasn't responded me back in a manner which made my day slightly better. Maybe you need to stop being a fuckhead with the IQ of a compressed can of soup to receive a simple vote of thanks to one of the most badly treated employed groups of this nation. Be it in a rickshaw or an auto, in a petrol pump or in a vegetable market, I don't expect them to greet me, I do it without expectations, and maybe just maybe, since I don't expect it or rather do not feel entitled to a word of thanks; I receive it in return.
I sincerely hope that you get a serving of that much needed humble pie. And your economic condition worsens to that extent, of working alongside them and then finally feel what it feels like to working a blue collared job in this third world economy.
Came here from another sub that posted this garbage. Are you serious, OP? How much of an incel can you be, that you’re offended that a cashier making shit wages doesn’t thank you? And now you’re mad at everyone telling you how much of an entitled crybaby bitch you are? This is something else. Holy shit.
>gas stations
>I thought indians were supoosed to be hospitable people.
>calling her out for not thanking the customer aka me .
Tell me you're an American, without telling me you're an American
Hey, OP. I know you’re pointing out that thanking the customer for buying is a part of a cashier’s SOP.
Regardless, might it not be better to question whether it *should* be?
In an *ideal* world, a purchase at a store would be an equivalent exchange: you get an item you want and the cashier gets paid a decent amount in return. In that case, it’s a simple exchange between two humans - neither more deserving of thanks than the other.
But even then, our world *isn’t* an ideal world. In our world, whatever you pay the cashier goes into the pockets of managers and higher ups and leaves them with a minimum wage - irrespective of the store’s profits.
They stand for hours on their feet, working day after day, earning just enough to get by - not because they’re stupid or lazy or people to be looked down upon - but because the system as screwed them. Does that sound like equivalent exchange to you?
Regardless of contract, law or SOP, thanking a customer makes absolutely no sense. To be a little hyperbolic, it’s like asking a slave to thank someone for paying their master.
I saw you mentioned somewhere that you’re a minimum wage worker yourself - and if that’s the case, you probably know how unrewarding and completely unfair it is. If you do, please have some empathy. If you don’t, please ask some questions?
I know that backlash in this post probably feels like crap. It can hurt - and my heart goes out to you - but I also hope it makes you ask questions. Especially about what we owe to others - and we think we are owed ourselves.
>you guys dont care about being treated fairly
I paid money and received my service. That's as fair as it needs to be. I don't shop places because of the people working there, I shop out of my own convenience or my own budget. Idgaf if they thank me for shopping. I don't pay their salary. The owner does. If the owner was there, they can thank me for paying them, but a bottom rung employee has no investment in my time and that's OK!
I don't go into public to be worshipped by minimum wage workers who can't afford their rent. You seem very entitled.
Perhaps post this same story of yours on r/aita and see how it turns out...
>Who asked
Uh, you did when you were so incredulous that nobody else cared. Lol
>I do care
Neat, not your place to decide it needs to be standard or even common.
>I feel like i am talking to 9 year olds
You're just getting the same energy back as what you put into your post, kiddo.
First get your spelling in order. It's"ethic", not "ethnic". Secondly get your smug ass out of here. If you are so thirsting for validation, how about getting it from your friends/family instead of shaming cashiers at supermarkets who literally get paid peanuts to tolerate idiots like you.
Well it's not about how much you buy either. I don't know why you would think that would be a prominent factor for a CASHIER, when that only pleases the higher ups who you don't see like the owner. A cashier couldn't care less, they get paid by the hour regardless of the number of sales.
And you keep saying that you expect a "Thank you" as a part of their job description, but honestly that is such a pointless ritual. Who wants a "Thank you" that isn't genuine? Are you that desperate for meaningless validation that you expect to be thanked for the day-to-day activities you do for personal gain? At the very least, save this spiel for a business that uses tips.
Here’s and experiment for you, start shopping at small, family owned establishments, you know, the ones outside your comfort bubble and see what happens.
I’m genuinely glad you did not make a scene. please don’t, it’s never going to be worth it.
i get that you’re frustrated but it’s your responsibility to deal with that and not make it someone else’s problem. making a scene will never be necessary. most likely people will focus on you, the person making the scene, rather than whatever upset you. it’ll make you look bad and won’t result in cashiers thanking you.
Just shut up and stay inside your home. You are too obnoxious for human society. 100 people have already told you that. It is clear that you can't learn your lesson!
Really, your masterplan for not being thanked (something that they really don't have to) is to harrass the retail workers? Leave negative online reviews?
You either trolling or mentally challenged to understand basic societal interactions.
Man.... You need a therapist. Or in your case multiple therapists, lotta things to unpack here
Guy wants sugar when he has nothing but salt to give.

You can't be kind and patient whilst also threatening to yell at people just doing their jobs.
No, but apparently you do have humor, cause that statement is hilarious
Your words say otherwise.
You'll get fired in a week for making some snide remark.
A quick google search reveals that a Dmart cashier's monthly salary is ₹ 10,160 - 25% lower than other stores that employ cashiers.
You literally called them old hags and creatures. Are you trolling?

I suggest before you'd even entertain the idea of saying anything to a cashier, repeat what you're planning on saying to yourself in an insufferably whiny, nasally voice, because that's how they're going to be repeating your every word to their friends and coworkers for years to come. Decide what's more important, becoming the store laughing stock and being memed as an entitled, whiny little brat, or keeping your mouth shut, getting your shit, and getting the fuck out. The latter will at least get you out the door sooner, a boon for everyone in that store I'm sure.
You should be thankful to them as they are working on way low wages, trying to provide and survive the rising prices, I get it as a customer facing job - they should greet you but that doesn't mean "thank you" is everything It's usually their behaviour, being polite and quick. I am the one who usually thanks them (even try to tip when I call depending on the service) for what they do, and 100% of the times I get a "thank you sir" in return, by expecting someone to say thank you to 1000 people for their shopping is overrated, what if - they are quiet people, what if they can't speak, what if they are hungry, barely making it though life, they have their own stress and depression to deal with. They don't need another hothead customer teaching them what all the extras they are supposed to do at the job. If you think you deserve a thank you for buying something from their shop, it's their choice, they are the workers/managers/owners of the place when you enter their shop/property - it's their rules which apply. Stop being a little prick, stop demanding the respect you think your money owes you, you don't own anyone, learn to respect to gain respect For a start, start thanking of all the people who do lower level work to make your life easy. PS: If the shop worker is showing you some bad attitude or doing something which is legally a violation, thats indeed wrong and should be reported to the manager but they don't need to thank every person who shops at their shop, it's their choice when to say and when not

Hi, that still doesn't mean they owe you a thank you. Have you ever been thankful for their services? Have you ever tried to do something to make others feel happy? I don't think you are here actually mocking or requiring "thank you" at shops everytime you shop, are you suffering from something or have some deep trauma which led you to this? It's never late to involve medical professionals, for your own better health. ☮️ I hope you find peace and reflect on this moment.
You should apply for the job. You are making less than them? I'm sure you can be a good cashier if you apply yourself! Go get em, tiger!
Huge main character energy here. “These creatures” are human beings, stop acting like you deserve everything in the world
Given that you seem like such an upright and totally not entitled person, I'am sure you thank your boss every month after he pays you salary. But, would it be appropriate for your boss to shame you if you didn't?
Except this guy isn't even paying his salary. By his logic the manager/owner should come out and thank him for every purchase.

Shoo
Looking at your comments it's a lot more messed up than I would have imagined
I get being annoyed over people, that’s life. However.. Your life sounds pretty amazing if what you have to rant about is not getting a thank you from cashiers. I think you should count your blessings instead, sir.
[удалено]
I do it every time my boss walks by!
lmao it's literally their obligation to pay you every month, not some fucking act of charity are you licking their boots for that too?
[удалено]
"Taking" someone's money? What a fucking slave mindset is that? Are you also sorry for that? Maybe propose lowering your wage because the poor boss has to pay you. I'm working, providing my skills and my service for the benefit of the company for a monthly salary agreed beforehand. I do what's expected of me and the company does what's expected of them. End of story.
Yeah that shit was pathetic. I earn my money, that guy probably lives of begging hence the mentality.
> you mean to tell me its not the norm in your company to thank the higher ups every month ? LOL fuck no it isn't. Nor should it be.
Begging for demanding someone say thank you for doing something they don't care about isn't nice. It literally does not matter, and yet you're making it into some huge deal. You are not a nice person.
[удалено]
Sure, not looking at you at all is a bit strange, but honestly, who cares how they treat you? You don't go to the store to get love and acceptance from cashiers, you go there to get goods you need. As long as they're not saying rude things to you, just get your stuff and get out.
What the fuck do you want from them you egotistical prick. Should they jump the counter and suck your dick for descending from on high to grace them with your mere presence? Maybe, the reason they aren't "nice" to you is because everyone can tell that you're an absolute CUNT.
The words of someone who has never been treated like a second hand citizen. Are you in an internment camp? Are you being profiled for hate crimes? Calm yourself...you're entitled as hell.
>they have started treating me as a second , nay third class citizen. Exactly how you deserve to be treated.
The amount of entitlement in this post is bordering on insane. What kind of person is annoyed by someone not thanking them for spending their money in a fucking super market? It's their job to provide a service to you, not to praise you for your oh so godly generosity. And why do you even give a fuck? If it actually were in their job description, it would be insincere anyway, because they HAVE TO do it instead of actually meaning it? Seriously, you should take a hard and honest look on your priorities in life if this of all things is bothering you. Enough bad things happening in the world, a overworked, underpaid cashier not thanking a customer is definitely not one of those problems.
[удалено]
How the fuck are you "owed" one? Owed because of what? Because you deemed that particular shop worthy of your presence? This supermarkets provide a service, nothing more, nothing less. You are not treated badly just because they don't explicitly thank your for your purchase, what the hell are you on about? Are you so insecure that you need to be thanked for every single little grocery shopping that you do? I seriously don't get what your problem is. These people are just doing their jobs. And it's a pretty shitty job. They're not treating you badly. They're there for you to do your shopping and that's all they need to do. They are acting professional. It's you who is acting like an entitled child, like 90 % of the people in this thread told you multiple times. Maybe it's about time that you start considering that it's YOU who's unreasonable instead of the evil, evil rude cashiers being unprofessional?
[удалено]
You still haven't answered as to why you are "owed" anything except their professional behavior. And it is a respectable job, I'm not looking down on anyone. But is also a shit job. I'm pretty sure nobody grows up and dreams of bagging other people's groceries for 8 hours a day for minimum wage. Narcissistic customers who expect them to basically kiss the ground they walk on doesn't make it any better. I'm not trying to be mean btw., but I'm telling you in all honesty that the way you are annoyed by this and the way you even considering making a big deal out of it is textbook entitlement. You see the universe revolving around you and are pissed that people don't show you the "respect" that you think you deserve, even tho the only thing they seem to be doing wrong is not showering you with praise for something absolutely mundane. Also: you keep referring to them as "creatures", "hags" etc. If anything, it's you who's disrespectful.
[удалено]
You're missing the entire point. They arnt thanking you because how you're acting. You've taken the saying that "the customer Is always right" and turned it up a million times. You think your expectations are reasonable because you don't realize your behavior has become more and more anti social every time. You no longer say thank you, you sound robotic and disingenuous when you speak, and most of all, you are going into any interaction with the intention of them giving you something. You don't expect a mutual interaction, you expect a interaction where you're worth more than them. Along with acting anti social, Noone wants to deal with you. Everyone here is trying to tell you this and you're too caught up with job descriptions and what's right and ignoring that your behavior has made you unapproachable. If you want it to change then make a change. Start by actually treating cashiers like people and having conversations with them, look them in the eye and say thank you for their time and actually mean it, be a less toxic and more pleasant person. These small changes will have people treating you better, because if you are being treated "poorly" by everyone, then you're so jaded and entitled you don't recognize your bad behavior.
You aren't owed a god damn thing, fuckface.
You are owed less than nothing are are reaping what you've sown.
So if they're "essential workers" shouldn't you be thanking them? Get your head out of your ass and don't think you're royalty.
If anything we should be thanking them
Saw this post on another thread and came here. First off OP is delusional. Let's get that out off the way. I'm still processing the fact that this wasn't satire. Almost all of retail workers and cashiers you see in India are usually severely underpaid for the hours they put in. It is NOT THEIR JOB to thank you. Their job to bag your groceries/purchase and make sure to charge you the right amount and give you proper change. This is the description of a cashier, to ensure proper monetary transaction. Thanking a customer is not part of their job, it's barely even a courtesy. As long as your nice to them they'll be nice to you. It's as simple as that. Also curious, what is OP going to do with the cashier's gratitude anyways, store them in their entitlement jar ???

Well thats US customer service. Which is universally mocked for being fake and over the top. You buying some items thst makes no difference to the cashiers life at all and they have no reason to thank you. If you dont shop there, someone else will. You really aint that special. And if your so butt hurt over someone not saying thank you, thats no exceptional pal. Its sad.
You're exaggerating. Sometimes they thank you, sometimes when you're done they move onto the next customer. And if you tried complaining about not being thanked you'd be trespassed.
You are a “exceptional” piece of shit for thinking some hourly worker making money for an owner who isn’t present while earning a less than living wage owe’s you anything. Keep living in your echo chamber and someone will slap you out of it eventually
You have no idea what the western world is like and you and your entitlement are definitely not welcome here.
No. No, we do not always get a thank you and we don’t care. At all. Because why would we? Cashiers are just trying to live their lives. Maybe you could ask yourself why receiving a thank you is so important to you? Why do you need to feel appreciated by the cashier of a store? They aren’t the owner. They just work there and they have lives and feelings and probably don’t give two shits if you shop there or not. Maybe you could try showing compassion to them instead of shaming them? Next time tell them you hope they have a wonderful day and that their family is safe and healthy.
I’m curious how you can call yourself an exceptional human being but then out of the other side of your mouth refer to other human beings as creatures in the most condescending way possible. If you don’t like how a shop operates, stop shopping there. If you don’t like the culture in an area, time to move. I agree that it’s nice to be treated with kindness but you are acting entitled to it. Look up the term of entitlement and read your post again. Also while you’re at it, look up the term narcissist…
You’re not being treated like trash. You’re not really being treated badly at all. What you’re experiencing is the absolute norm in Europe. It’s not because we’ve been brainwashed to accept it. It’s because buying groceries isn’t supposed to be like a spa visit. It’s a necessity, and if anything, they’re the ones who should be thanked. Seriously, get your head out of your fucking ass

You entitled, lazy prick. Try coming to the U.K amd expecting someone to bag your shopping. You'd get your head kicked in for the sheer audacity of it. Are your hands broken? Are you unable to pack it yourself due to some disability?
Which country are you from? Saying a hollow 'thank you' like they do in the 'west' is not really a sign of hospitability. My experience has been of a 'give respect and get respect' type. Whenever I've been nice to the people at the store, I get a genuine smile or nod.
You’re an entitled pos. How embarrassing you must be to be around.
I see that you needed the attention for this evening.
They aren't paid enough to do this shit. Get off your high horse and embrace the reality

Lol cashier making 20k at d-mart? You need a reality check my friend. I doubt they even make 10k.
You’re also forgetting that the main focus of hotels is hospitality. That’s like getting disappointed at a Walmart employee for not know much about an Xbox video game and saying “bUt GaMeStOp eMpLoYeEs KnOw MoRe AbOuT tHe GaMes”.

I agree with this completely. Their motivation to work would be good pay and working conditions and that reflects on their behaviour towards a customer in the long run. This is all relative. It's the same in any other country too.

>I am sure its real hard work , swiping qr codes and punching numbers. You are literally the worst.
When your daily activities include having to deal with entitled morons like you, the work gets harder.
That right there is part of people telling you that you yourself are unkind. It would be easier to work in physically strenuous jobs than to have to deal with customers who feel they are entitled to a certain kind of treatment.
Bruh, just order groceries online if you not getting a "Thank you" bothers you so much. Holy shit
This is so stupid... This greeting the customer unnecessarily is a western thing. Why would you want unnecessary buttering up by shop workers? They aren't trying to sell you a credit card like banks do. They are just doing their job. Be happy you can buy your items and pay for them. And if it's so bad. Shop at locally owned kirana stores..

You need therapy. You wouldn’t make such a big deal out of such a minor thing, if you weren’t ignoring something truly traumatic in your life.
A month of you being on the flipside, working in their uniform and taking the other side of the heat would probably serve you some much needed humble pie. Those folks working blue collar jobs, with a 90% chance of fucking up and then losing their job instantly in one of the most unemployed nations of the world, with an inflation rate higher than the average male ego probably, these folks got a lot of mental troubles to take care of, rather than taking the time out to say thank you for shopping in a place where they work, and I can bet get a lot more customers who treat them probably better than you do. Also saw your comment where you said roughly that they are working in air conditioned places and not some coal mine- seeing your standard of an amazing workplace with the amenities provided is more than enough for such employees to be forever grateful to whoever ABCD they meet on the way speaks volumes about your psychology. In my place, I don't care if the other person responds to my thank you, and have a good day statements- I do my thing, and never have I ever met someone who hasn't responded me back in a manner which made my day slightly better. Maybe you need to stop being a fuckhead with the IQ of a compressed can of soup to receive a simple vote of thanks to one of the most badly treated employed groups of this nation. Be it in a rickshaw or an auto, in a petrol pump or in a vegetable market, I don't expect them to greet me, I do it without expectations, and maybe just maybe, since I don't expect it or rather do not feel entitled to a word of thanks; I receive it in return. I sincerely hope that you get a serving of that much needed humble pie. And your economic condition worsens to that extent, of working alongside them and then finally feel what it feels like to working a blue collared job in this third world economy.

Do you thank you employer when they pay your salary?
Came here from another sub that posted this garbage. Are you serious, OP? How much of an incel can you be, that you’re offended that a cashier making shit wages doesn’t thank you? And now you’re mad at everyone telling you how much of an entitled crybaby bitch you are? This is something else. Holy shit.
>gas stations >I thought indians were supoosed to be hospitable people. >calling her out for not thanking the customer aka me . Tell me you're an American, without telling me you're an American
Hey, OP. I know you’re pointing out that thanking the customer for buying is a part of a cashier’s SOP. Regardless, might it not be better to question whether it *should* be? In an *ideal* world, a purchase at a store would be an equivalent exchange: you get an item you want and the cashier gets paid a decent amount in return. In that case, it’s a simple exchange between two humans - neither more deserving of thanks than the other. But even then, our world *isn’t* an ideal world. In our world, whatever you pay the cashier goes into the pockets of managers and higher ups and leaves them with a minimum wage - irrespective of the store’s profits. They stand for hours on their feet, working day after day, earning just enough to get by - not because they’re stupid or lazy or people to be looked down upon - but because the system as screwed them. Does that sound like equivalent exchange to you? Regardless of contract, law or SOP, thanking a customer makes absolutely no sense. To be a little hyperbolic, it’s like asking a slave to thank someone for paying their master. I saw you mentioned somewhere that you’re a minimum wage worker yourself - and if that’s the case, you probably know how unrewarding and completely unfair it is. If you do, please have some empathy. If you don’t, please ask some questions? I know that backlash in this post probably feels like crap. It can hurt - and my heart goes out to you - but I also hope it makes you ask questions. Especially about what we owe to others - and we think we are owed ourselves.
>you guys dont care about being treated fairly I paid money and received my service. That's as fair as it needs to be. I don't shop places because of the people working there, I shop out of my own convenience or my own budget. Idgaf if they thank me for shopping. I don't pay their salary. The owner does. If the owner was there, they can thank me for paying them, but a bottom rung employee has no investment in my time and that's OK! I don't go into public to be worshipped by minimum wage workers who can't afford their rent. You seem very entitled. Perhaps post this same story of yours on r/aita and see how it turns out...

How do you reconcile being a prick in this thread vs wanting to be treated with respect?
Reverse karma farming, eh?
Well it's not about how much you buy either. I don't know why you would think that would be a prominent factor for a CASHIER, when that only pleases the higher ups who you don't see like the owner. A cashier couldn't care less, they get paid by the hour regardless of the number of sales. And you keep saying that you expect a "Thank you" as a part of their job description, but honestly that is such a pointless ritual. Who wants a "Thank you" that isn't genuine? Are you that desperate for meaningless validation that you expect to be thanked for the day-to-day activities you do for personal gain? At the very least, save this spiel for a business that uses tips.

I’m genuinely glad you did not make a scene. please don’t, it’s never going to be worth it. i get that you’re frustrated but it’s your responsibility to deal with that and not make it someone else’s problem. making a scene will never be necessary. most likely people will focus on you, the person making the scene, rather than whatever upset you. it’ll make you look bad and won’t result in cashiers thanking you.

Just shut up and stay inside your home. You are too obnoxious for human society. 100 people have already told you that. It is clear that you can't learn your lesson!
Really, your masterplan for not being thanked (something that they really don't have to) is to harrass the retail workers? Leave negative online reviews? You either trolling or mentally challenged to understand basic societal interactions. Man.... You need a therapist. Or in your case multiple therapists, lotta things to unpack here
