Now that I am actually working in the customer service industry ( yes that is the nice way of me say that I am a cashier), I realize just how impatient people really are. Today I was manning the self check out, and you would not believe how angry some people get. Which brings me to two points. First, people have become so dependent on machines that they assume they are faster, smarter, and less capable of making mistakes. On top of this people have become so anti-social in this world filled with technology that they prefer the machines to human beings because that way they dont have to talk to a person. I find this a sad truth, so I vow to always use a cashier over a self checkout machine. Secondly, why are people always in such a rush? They are always needing to get somewhere and God forbid something disrupts their fast-paced lifestyles. I can't rag on them too much because I am also guilty of being in a rush from time to time. The difference, however, is that I would never take it out on anyone around me. It's not their fault that I am in a rush. So I guess the point of my rant, is don't take your frustrations out on your cashier. When she smiles and asks you how your day is going, smile back at her/him and say "not to bad, yours?" Its the common courtesy way of going through a cashier. And if you choose the self checkout, remember, they can have malfunctions, just like people can screw up, and if you hate them as much as you say, just go through the f**king cashier line. Stop complaining.
Thank you
Denise
