Hmm, cashier power rankings, I like it.

The only pre-sorting I do on the belt is heavy shit first (milk, 12 pack of pop, etc.). I learned the hard way that if you put the bread products first, they get flattened at the bottom of the cart due to the FOFI system (first on, first in).

Back in the day when I was a bagger we did a stellar job of packing that shit. We used paper mostly (it packs WAY better), and actually had baggers. Now the cashiers just do it, which slows them down. Saves Meijer money, and makes everyone wait. Instead of rolling that bagger money into an extra couple cashiers, we all suffer.

I think he name was Angie or something, it was on the receipt.

My wife has about 4 cashiers that she just won't go to at that place.

Only place worse is the Hardings, ever been there? That place is a complete freak show.

I know the one you're talking about, talks slow, I avoid her.

I stopped going to the Hardings closer to me a year ago, only ever used the bakery at the one in your town, but the Village Market where i live is 10X worse than either that or Meijers. Dozens of times I have been stuck in a line that didn't move for 10 minutes just waiting to buy beer or eggs or whatever.

Normally spam email that gets through my blockers/fliters is a pet peeve, but this one was at least entertaining...

The good thing about Meijer is the self scan lines. If you only have a few things you are not at the mercy of idiots (for the most part)

Fuckin' people who gotta whip out a checkbook in line for groceries. We've had perfectly good Visa check cards for 15 years, Grandpa Numbnuts! There's no reason in the world to carry around a checkbook anymore, ya goddamn living mummy. Shake the dust out of your dick already.

I know. If you absolutely have to use a check, why can't you have your DL number, phone number and all that shit filled out ahead of time? Just fill in the amount and go.

Instead they make the cashier take a urine sample while we wait.

People who talk too much. I can only process so much information in one sitting, and I really don't want to allocate resources to process a story about your friend's sister's cat.

I'm the shyest person ever, Swami, so I can relate to that...I can't be around people who talk a lot.

Three daughters and a wife. All of them seem to come home at the same time. All four of them talk to me at the same time when they get home. All of them are different age groups with different sets of stories.
