loloteheOne should never mistake stupidity for malice.
Look, I know working as a cashier is a shitty job. I've done it. You stand for 8 hours, you have a 30-minute lunch, and maybe you've got two 15-minute breaks.
I know it's an ass job. The pay is minimal and you might not have benefits. People are assholes to you all day long.
So, when I say, "I think it will all fit in that bag. You'll want the largest items first," I'm not saying it to be a douche. I'm saying it because I've done it before and I've gotten some high scores in Tetris and I know what works. If you put in the giant bag of cat-food first, it will hold up the canvas bag and make it easier to put everything else in.
So, when I see you putting all the little, fragile items in the bag first, you have to understand where I'm coming from. I told you how to do it and you've done the exact opposite. That's why I said, "The largest item would be the cat-food."
You said "OK", but you said "OK" when I said "largest items first". Still, you went on putting in the little things in the bag. Not leaving yourself any room for the larger items.
When I asked, "You've never played Tetris, have you?" I was talking about your spacial reasoning skills. I know you didn't get the reference when you asked, "What's that?" so I shook my head and waved it off. I wasn't ready to have that conversation.
It was when you put the cat-food in last, on top of everything, letting the bag flop and sag to one side, that I knew I had to call your manager and suggest additional training. Look, I don't want to be a bitch about this. I could have emptied the bag right there and showed you how it all fits in, but there was a line and that wasn't fair to the people behind me. I'm sure you wouldn't have paid attention, anyway.
It was all a low buzzing to you, anyway. I know it's a shitty job and you're tired. I'll let someone you listen to explain it.
