Until they teach their cashiers that “Have a nice day,” does NOT mean “Thank you,” they’d be better off discouraging human contact with these people.
Don’t enjoy grocery shopping but where I shop I get both and a smile. Pay a bit more but there I feel like a customer and not a number.
The other one that upsets me is “Can I help the next person in line?”
How about making actual eye contact and after looking at the customer saying “Can I help You?”
Did you eve notice that whenever there are two cashiers at the register, the entire conversation between them is about either when their next break is, when their last break was or when they are going home?
And don't even get me started on "Happy Holidays".
