to expect some kind of interaction with checkout staff

Dropped DP off at his parents house and on the way back thought Ah! I need some rice!

Weighed up two possible Tescos, one right by his mums which is a great Tesco in theory. Its an extra which means its got clothes, electronics, dvds, books, even a costa but is notorious for rude staff, dirty toilets and long queues (they even have the steaks security tagged... no lie). Or the one by our house which is very nice but very small.

I plumped for the big one because I thought, screw it, DP is out, Ive got all night so I can have a wander round the clothes section.

The woman that served me was just so rude. She practically threw my shopping down after scanning it (Im not so annoyed about that, its what you expect at this place) but the bit that really annoyed me (and I am pregnant so hormones abound) she was chatting to another server two tills away about how she was finishing in half an hour, and then just looked at me once my shopping had gone through. And did not say a word.

I asked her 'So is that £8.98 then?'
A mumble was what she answered with. She then just pointed at the card scanner for me to scan my card, which I did. Then gave me my receipt.
I said then 'You didnt ask me if I had a club card.'
She brusquely said 'Well DO you have one?'
No! I dont! But I want you to bloody well SAY something to me!!! I said, No, I dont but you didnt even ask me, did you?

'Well daaaaaaarling. I knew that if you had one you would give it to me'

Well that excuses your disgraceful manners then, does it?!

AIBU? Or should I have known better than to go in there in the first place? It always pisses me off, as they are all like this in there!

here there are 2 tescos on this side of town.

all the staff are pretty miserable- really. they do speak but mainly to complain about how crapola it is working for tescos.

yet in Morrisons on the other side of town all the staff are nice- chat in a very pleasant way- about your purchases, the weather, whats going on in town etc.

i drive further for this.

must be cultural
