I had to stop at the market tonight on my way home from work to pick up a few things and to get a prescription at the pharmacy. Apparently, I wasn't the only one with this idea because the market was packed. So I grabbed what I needed (2 cans of dog food, a loaf of bread and creamer for hubby's coffee) and went to get my prescription. There was no one else there (waiting or picking up), and the 2 people behind the counter were just standing around talking so I asked if she minded ringing up my other 4 items so I didn't have to stand in line for 10 minutes waiting to be cashed out. She acted like I just asked her to walk to China, and gave me the dirtiest look! She said (rolling her eyes...) "well, I guess so, but I wouldn't be able to if there were people in line behind you." I said "If there were people waiting behind me, I wouldn't ask you to!"
So, with a heavy sigh, she spent another 10 seconds scanning my other 4 items..basically slamming them on the counter as she did it. I wouldn't even have asked but I've had people at the pharmacy actually offer to ring up items with my prescriptions if I only have a few, so I don't think it was a case of keeping pharmacy totals separate from regular market sales. In any case, if it IS against policy she could have just said that and I would have been on my merry way to wait in line with 100 other people. Or she just could have been NICE about it! Sheesh...
I know it's stupid, but her attitude just burned me up!
Was I out of line for even asking her to do that?
