Yesterday at work, a customer had come through my till. I don't usually work on cash, but this shift was an exception. I made every effort to give my customer a smooth, friendly check out. I was polite as usual, asked if she found everything okay, and did my job with a smile on my face. As I handed her bag to her and wished her a good day, she turned to me and said "so you don't say thank you anymore?" ... I was so confused. And I asked, "pardon?" she repeated her question. I proceeded to say thank you and have a good day, clearly not understanding why she was so snarky with me. She stormed off with a big, loud "ugh" after reading my name tag. It completely ruined the rest of my work day.

To anyone who has been lucky enough to not work in retail: be nicer to those of us who do. Just because I'm standing behind the counter and you're in front, doesn't give you the right to blatantly disrespect me.

Signed,
The girl who'd rather work on the floor.
