Customer throws her shopping on the floor because I took too long
I only recently started working in retail, which means I'm not as fast as a cashier as I was.
Yesterday it got fairly busy, we had a huge line and I had trouble with some items not scanning. While one coworker was helping me figure everything out, we obviously called someone to open up another cash register.
Apparently we took too long and this one lady in line just threw her shopping on the floor (some pool noodles and towels) and stormed out of the store, calling me horrible names while doing so.
And while I do get the frustration and how she probably had places to go, we really only took 2-3 minutes. With another cash register opening that she could have gone to.
