Reply To: Weird Product Nicknames

Ok ive been working in a supermarket for 3 months now and I find it interesting how men and women buy groceries these are generalities and there are exceptions of course but it still holds true

If you are a macho type guy you will…

throw your items on the belt

be offended if i ask if you have coupons cause come on what real man uses coupons

be ready to pay before i have even scanned your products and act very impatient as if i am making you late for your bench presses

more often than not pay in cash never with a check

when i hand you the receipt you might say you can throw that out (oh gee can i really?) or say i don’t want that

call me chief which i find very obnoxious

pile the stuff up to the sky on the belt as if that will make it go faster , quite the contrary.

If you are a housewife you will…

be patient and smile and make with the chit chat

will sometimes pay by check or cash but more often with plastic

use coupons with regularity

be more likely to compliment you to the manager (which is sweet cause i get a 5 dollar voucher for a customer compliment)

most people will help to bag a very small minority will not

i find that a lot people who buy cigarettes are grumpier than most but that could just be my perception and they usually mutter what kind of cigarretes they want or say it too fast and get peeved if i ask them to repeat themselves

most people are kind and good natured those who are not are the minority.
