As you may or may not already know, I work in a grocery store. I am around hundreds of people every single day. Lately I have been noticing a trend of people becoming more and more inattentive. Of course everyone gets distracted from time to time, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about someone bringing up a gallon of milk, paying for it, then just walking off and leaving it on the register when it's the only item they purchased! I'm really not kidding about this, I've seen it happen.
Another thing happened today that I just had to comment about. I was running on an express checkout lane and these two guys come up and put their stuff all together so I just assume the stuff is all one order...so I ring it up like normal...the first guy watches as though nothing is wrong. After I finish scanning all these items he proceeds to then pay for them. While paying you have to confirm that the price is correct, which he did. Then after the whole process is complete, he says, "wait, did I just pay for all that?" It turns out only the first item in the order was actually his. The second person who the stuff belonged to didn't say a word about it either.
Are we really getting this inattentive about things people? I just needed to make a post about this. Tell me what you think, and the next time you're at a grocery store checkout, please use the divider. Thanks. :-)
