I can go somewhere else!&#8221; Never will I have a customer move registers if they&#8217;ve already put their items on the belt; that wouldn&#8217;t be right on my part.

Coupons are a pain in all of our butts, and their faultiness is not my fault. Sometimes they don&#8217;t scan. If they aren&#8217;t expired I will gladly still use them for you! With coupons, please make sure you get the right item that the coupon is for. I don&#8217;t want to have to have someone keep running back and fourth to get your groceries, because that inconveniences the both of us. Check your coupons as you shop! \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I am only a 20-year-old. This is also my part-time job. Please try to stay calm with me if the sales don&#8217;t come off correctly. I&#8217;ll try to fix it to the best of my ability, but I&#8217;m not perfect. Please remember that I&#8217;m not the owner of this store, or the person who makes the prices. If something is expensive, I&#8217;m not the one to blame and I really can&#8217;t do anything to change that for you.

We all go up to the register and realize we bought the wrong milk or didn&#8217;t want the cereal anymore, but there is another option. Don&#8217;t be embarrassed to hand the item to me. I understand things happen and I&#8217;ll make sure it gets back, especially if it&#8217;s a frozen item!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If we run out of something and we are apparently &#8220;always out of it,&#8221; let me know and I will let a manager know. But don&#8217;t blame me. I&#8217;m clearly not buying all of the bacon that&#8217;s on sale. I know you&#8217;re upset, as I would be too, but please don&#8217;t yell at me, again I just work here.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When your prices is wrong, or your coupons don&#8217;t work please don&#8217;t respond with &#8220;I&#8217;ll just go to _____.&#8221; All grocery stores have different prices so feel free to buy whatever you need here and go to another grocery store.
