Popped into Morrisons yesterday for a few bits with my mum. Both had less than 10 items so went on the less than 10 items bit - there was nobody else there. We only had the one trolley between us so were sorting out what was mine and what was hers, took maximum 30 seconds. In this time a member of staff with a coat on so was at end of his shift pushed in front of me and my mum and the cashier said "you dont mind do you he's desperate to get home". Actually, yes we did mind. just beause he works there doesn't give him priority above anyone else. He only had 2 things but took ages counting out his money, then they had a chat about when they'd next be on shift together so took a good 5 minutes.

We both said that we werent happy with what had happened to the cashier, I said that it was wrong. She said "oh sorry" with no feeling behind it. As we walked off I said "I'll be emailing head office"

Now wondering if we should do? Would you?

I'm not really going to contact head office. I told the woman I would because I wanted her to realise what she had done was wrong

So you just say anything to try and wind her up? You sound an absolute charmer.

Say what you mean and mean what you say and all that.

I know you have said you won't complain to HO, OP, which I think is just as well, but do remember that they will possibly check the cctv of the incidence and know whether your 30 seconds really was that or not. Personally I would sort out my stuff for the check out before taking my place in the queue, or just pick out all of my things to go straight on the conveyor belt and leave the other person's in the basket.

Look on the bright side that if this kind of minor thing bothers you this much, things in your life must be going well.

OP, given your user name, maybe you should sympathise a bit with the cashier who wanted to get the heck home from their shift ASAP.
