some notes on common courtesy when interacting with cashiers:

• get the fuck off your cell phone.
  
• get the fuck off your cell phone.
  
• no habla espanol. sorry. that does not mean keep talking to me in spanish. i don't fucking understand you.
  
• when i say "hello" or "thank you, have a great night", please respond. even if it's just a smile and a "hi" or a "you too", it is much appreciated.
  
• do not throw your money on the counter and stare at me expectantly. i will stare back. then i will get really pissed off at you. finally, i will gently place your change on the counter and stare at you until you have to pick it up.
  
• also, don't hand me a wadded-up, fistful of cash. unravel it yourself. if i have to do it, i will take my sweet time unfolding it, making you wait at least two extra minutes.
  
• get the fuck off your cell phone.
  
• don't interrupt me at all, ever. the shit i have to say to you is part of my job. just let me fucking say it, then you can be on your merry way.
  
• if you aren't 17, i can't sell you an "m" rated game. sorry, it sucks, but it's my job. what's that? you turn 17 in a two months/two weeks/tomorrow? you really want that game? can you afford to pay my bills when i get fired and have to find a new job? no? then shut the fuck up and go get another game.
  
• parents, grand theft auto is not an appropriate game for your seven year old. please pay attention.
  
• and finally, get the fuck off your cell phone.
  

on a sidenote, i don't understand why you will give me your home address, phone number, and driver's license number, but will balk when i ask for an email address. "i don't give out my email address." you're worried about spam? bitch, that's why spam filters and the delete button were invented. a home invasion or identity theft will cause a lot more anguish than a few unwanted emails. let's get your priorities straight.

next time I visit you, I am going to do all of these. That includes: making 4 phone calls in the space of the transaction, being a minor and attempting to buy an M rated game, and having a 7 year old daughter to buy Grand Theft Auto 3 for.

I agree...I'm a cashier at Whole Foods..or I was until I my boss demoted me for 6 months. You know what really sets me off? When the person you're checking out with is on their cellphone and they apologize to the person on the cellphone when you ask them if they want "Paper or Plastic".
