Lesson in patience

So yesterday I went to Sam's Club, and was in the check-out line. The girl in front of me had a huge cart of stuff, and when she was given her total ($179 and change), she pulled singles, 10's, and 20's out of a ziploc bag of cash. The cashier was slow counting it, in fact she counted it three times. The girl kept rolling her eyes, saying things like "I canNOT believe this" and "let's just go", because the cashier was taking "too long" to count this cash. I'm a pretty patient person, I wasn't bothered one bit by it.

Anyway, the cashier finally looks up and says "This isn't right" to which the girl huffily said of course it was or something to that effect. The cashier said, no, you gave me too much money! She counted it out to the girl, and sure enough the girl had given her about $30 too much!

The girl did not even thank her, least of all apologize. She just grabbed the money out of her hand, waited for the receipt and coins, and stalked off.

Not really much point to this story, just that I am so glad it was not me who behaved like that!
 
If I were you, I think I might give the manager a call and tell your story to him. I know when my DH was a store manager, he loved to hear good stories about his employees. Usually they just get complaints.

I makes you feel good to know there are still so many honest people out there. When the ziploc girls tells her side of the story, you can bet she won't mention the extra money part, just how long it took to count it!

BTW, if you hand your money to someone in a ziploc bag, why wouldn't you think it would take awhile to count it????

I should probably clarify that the customer pulled out the cash from the ziploc bag and counted out what she thought was right, then handed it over to the cashier who then counted it 3 times.

I think I will let the manager know how well the cashier handled this. Thanks for the suggestion.
