AIBU to expect a 'please' from a cashier when they ask me 4 money?

[ShakerattlenRoll]

I was in Marks and Spencers yesterday I had some rude cashier asking me to move my basket off the conveyer belt without even saying please.I thought I would let it go even though I was niggled by her barking an order at me and being so rude.I moved the basket and said nothing.When it came to paying the woman she asked for the money without saying 'Please'.I was so fed up with her by now that I pulled her up on it and tore a strip off of her.She subsequently apologised and I thought that would be the last of it.
I went back in this evening and went to another cashier and low and behold the same thing happened there when she asked for the money.There was no 'Please' I thought (ffs) what's going on here? I asked her whether it was Marks and Spencers policy to be so impolite when asking for the money when buying goods? She said no but she was not obliged to say 'please'.

        I thought ok then if you want to argue the point lets get a manger involved.Along came a manager and he said to me that he didn't know what all the fuss was about and that the cashiers had done nothing wrong by not saying 'Please' when asking for the money and he said he would not be reprimanding them on it.He told me that by the cashier saying 'thank you'  and 'have a nice day' was surfice and please was not needed.

       I mean to say what is this world coming to? I was brought up to say 'please' and 'thank you' and i'm not going to stop now and i expect people to say please and thank you to me especially if I am a customer at Marks and Spencers being served by a cashier.

I will be making an official complaint tomorrow to the store manager and head office. Your views please.TYIA

From the cashiers themselves, okaaay.

How did that happen, did they drag them off the tills to curtesy?

perpen no wind up it's genuine i can't abide poor manners and pig ignorant people that don't even understand the concept of good manners because they are too thick and not spiritually gifted.

Are you spiritually gifted?

I am. An angel just told me this is a wind up.

Seriously, stop, you're making me wheeze.

No the store phoned me in person and I was told the cashier had told the management she had not handled the situation well and had apologised.What is so difficult to understand about that.I complained about rudeness and i was bacckefd up by senior management OK?

Thankfully there are some of us about Harold That is polite and spiritually gifted.Hard luck

Ok well I need more facts. Did you tell M&s about your spiritual gifts?

The more you say, the worse you sound, OP. My sympathies are now totally with the cashiers and their managers. You are not a champion of good manners.

Harold are you the type of person that never says please and thank you? Do you like it when people are rude to you? Do say nothing when people are rude to you? I don't i pull them up on it .I don't take any rubbish off anybody

I am a bit of a cunt to be honest.

SDT but the management have apologised to me for their shoddy service .What is your problem.Do you have a problem with people with good manners.It appears like that .I feel for you.Maybe try a term at charm school then u might understand where i'm coming from.Thank me later ROFL

Perpen id she learnt her job properly none of this would have happened ok? So stop trying to blame me for something which was not my fault.Bad manners are unacceptable ok?

If somebody is spiritually gifted they are aware of other peoples feelings.Try it out sometime you might enjoy it

I don't think you need spiritual gifts to be pleasant.

How the bejesus did I miss this?!

OP, get a life - please?

Run now, save yourself.

Nobody has even got a leg to stand on trying to argue with me especially when I have the backing od all the major supermarkets customer services.I've had a result and i'm happy about that.Long live good manners! ROFL

sauvignon same to u ? Have you got any thing decent to say?

Harold what's your problem please tell me?

If I was running M&S I'd want to know. I sometimes go to our local Londis (ridiculous prices) just because the staff are so nice.

Op, I couldn't agree with you more. Thank you, please, always words I instil into my children to whoever they are talking to. Unfortunately I had the misfortune to work on the checkouts at Asda for about six months. Always kept the pleases and thank yous coming in abundance, unfortunately there are a lot of rude and aggressive people out there and whoever they are could not give a toss. I see you've met lots here. Not sure why they are so riled about basic manners whether in a professional capacity or not. Perhaps they have no social skills and feel the best form of defense is attack. Op, well done, you should take pride in your manners and obvious good upbringing.

I feel a miscarriage of justice has occurred.

It upsets me.

Nobody has even got a leg to stand on trying to argue with me especially when I have the backing od all the major supermarkets customer services.

I am CRYING.

Also, seriously, we and customer service would say any old bollocks just to get rid of the more interesting customers.
