Cashier... Am l being unreasonable?

[Feminine]

This isn't the first time he has done it.
So, l shouldn't have returned to his till - but l thought he wouldn't do it again.
This particular chap enjoys hiding an item, if he knows the child is waiting/wanting it.
Today it was a packet of nasty frozen themed cup cakes....
As soon as he has scanned them, he hid them under his keypad.
My daughter is six and she was wanting to take them straight away.
For what must have been at least two minutes, he claimed they had disappeared!
Dd was confused and kept checking the conveyor belt, the basket... The belt.
I kept thinking "oh he will give them back in a moment" he made her wait an eternity...
Poor girl was going to cry....
I know l could have said something, but l wanted to also be kind to him.
It went on forever.
Him laughing ... And me looking confused with a weak smile on my face.
Plus, he has done it before. With some sweets of hers.
It was also quite apparent that dd was upset.
I'm not going to report him, l just wondered if anyone else finds this odd.
I know he is doing it to be 'funny' but l think he has (again) over done it.

yours way to act like a decent adult...

Yoursfan my lovely dd is six and she's a shy pie. It takes her time to gauge a situation, to feel safe and to warm to it. She's a bit rubbish in social situations like being approached by strangers...even well meaning ones.
If she was in the same scenario as the one described here, tears would definitely well up at the loss of the much wanted Frozen cupcakes. She would be too self-conscious to speak out about them being missing in front of another adult she didn't know, and the frustration and confusion would get the better of her...not because she's a crybaby, but because she's a shy little girl of six.

Several times you have called OP's dd a crybaby on this thread. It is worth noting that the OP said her dd was "going to cry" so she didn't even actually cry. That and the fact you have never laid eyes upon this little girl and know absolutely nothing about her. And let's not forget...she's six.

Yet you consider your observations "rather astute".
There's a mirror in your house somewhere needs a firm talking to.

And the OP has not 'flounced' - she has rightly turned her heel because this thread isn't worth her time.

I avoid cashiers like him. There used to be one in my local, i think he prob stopped the day he told me he was supposed to charge now for plastic bags as a 'joke' - i had just lost a relative so looked at him dead eyed and said said 'ok then'. He looked mortified.

He is being a prat. Its innapropriate at work. He prob does stuff like that with his own or relatives kids at home and thinks its ok at work.

Dixie... Why are you 'piling on'? Yours has been told, by several posters that her posts weren't nice. You're calling another poster 'vile'?

Was your DH's aversion to public scenes the only reason you didn't tell the cashier to stop his playacting? That would have been a very mild "scene"
I don't think you have any grounds for complaint when you, by your own admission, stood there smiling. Even if it was only to stop your DH spontaneously combusting...
How far would he go, and what sort of nonsense would he take in the interests of scene averting, btw?

That's not what happened though yours, you are twisting things. And the OP hasn't had any of her posts deleted, unlike you, so calling her vile is unfair.

The DD didn't cry because she didn't get a cupcake, she almost cried because he hid them and pretended they were lost. And she's six, and was buying a treat, and didn't know what he was doing. She's a child, children get upset over things like this sometimes.

And regardless of what the OP and her DH should or shouldn't have done in response, that was a mean trick to play on a child.

It's also a bit off to comment on buying her some fruit instead, you have no idea what the OP feeds her child or why they were buying cupcakes, but it's irrelevant anyway. They could have been buying anything, he still shouldn't be hiding a customers shopping items under the counter and claiming they were gone.

me

I asked why you felt the need to add - some time after everybody else had finished - your own noxious comment. You haven't an answer. Plenty more insults though.

Cashier... Am l being unreasonable?

Yes.

Next!

This thread is horrible; people piling in, picking every little thing apart, attempting to police other posters and generally just being really shitty. I can see why Feminine flounced.

I think everyone needs or possibly or or just [chill the fuck out it's only the internet, go for a walk]

Poor OP, the guy was a jerk. Try not to take the keyboard warriors too seriously. They read a mere snapshot into your situation. You sound like a caring person. Just avoid the wally in future. X

Either that Camel or one of use would hide the Zinfandel, someone would point out wine's bad for you and we should be eating fruit, someone else would get upset, another person would be rude to the upset person for getting upset because that always helps, one group would be playing hunt the wine and somebody else would be whinging that they want merlot.
