Asshole in Aisle 11

Ron and I did a quick food shop last Sunday evening and discovered the biggest asshole in the world in line ahead of us. I was only paying half attention to the drama unfolding in front of the person ahead of us in line. Suddenly the woman ahead of us shakes her head in disgust and moves to another line. We creep up and take notice of the jerk at the register.

The waste of skin standing before us is berating the cashier and while I can't hear what he is saying it is clear that he is not happy. We decided to inch away and join the other customer in the other line. As we start to move we see the cashier whip out a roll of paper towels and spray cleaner and with a look of pure hatred on her face she cleaned the conveyor belt. It is only after the belt is clean does this "gentleman" put his precious groceries on it.

The first item is a sealed rack of ribs. One of those vacuum sealed ones already smothered in deliciousness. The cashier picks it up and as she scan it the twatwaffle says "I may or may not want that". Well, which is it? Dipshit couldn't be bothered to check the price before he put it in his carriage? Well, once she scanned it he decided he didn't want it afterall and made her void it. This happened a few more times.

The poor cashier kept her mouth shut and was trying to do her job but no matter what she did it was wrong. She eventually got flustered and made a real mistake and he piped up with a note of triumph in his voice, loud enough for all to hear "You missed that one!"

This choad kept muttering and berating her the whole time and finally it was our turn to deal with our groceries. We give both our cashier and the one being harassed a sympathethic look and I said something along the lines of "Is this guy a regular or something?" Our cashier says yes and he does this abusive act every time he comes in. She even said she was going to complain to the manager about him and see if he can be banned from the supermarket.

It was then he decided to raise his voice again and say "You can't do anything right!" and our cashier said over her shoulder "No one can get it right for you sir." I doubt that sunk in, but I bet it made her and her co-worker feel a little better. As we finished our transaction we wished them both good luck loud enough for all to hear and made a hasty exit.

I have a mind to complain to the manager about this guy myself he was that unpleasant. I think this is one customer Stop & Shop can afford to lose.
