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

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

Op..... You are calling troll. That's troll hunting and against MN guidelines

You are breaking the rules

That is both rude and ignorant

JassyRadlett · 22/01/2014 18:56

OP, what about me? I wrote you a lovely long thoughtful post with advice on punctuation and everything. I am not clear whether I'm a stalker or a troll. Can you clarify for me? Please?

HaroldLloyd · 22/01/2014 18:57

If we are giving badges out think SDTG needs one for managing to stick to reasonable debate in the face of extreme weirdness.

Berryglitter · 22/01/2014 18:57

Pretty sure I just served the op at work... They uttered the words "don't you know who I am" when I told them they couldn't have free bread and butter with their meal.

Though they didn't say please or thank, look spiritual gifted or have senior managers falling at their feet behind them.

What's up with the whole 'rofl', OP? You don't strike me as the kind of person to laugh, especially at themselves and the CRAZY she holds

ShakerattlenRoll · 22/01/2014 18:58

Also, I think you should probably appreciate the difference between 'the backing of customer service' and 'the line they spun you to shut you up as it was the easiest thing to do'.

Er, hth.

HaroldLloyd · 22/01/2014 18:58

I am a stalking, hijacking troll.

I win.
