Great! Wine-y AND Condescending!

I was an assistant manager at a store and was covering the registers on a slow weekday morning. A woman came in and handed me her shopping list. This was a store that sold things for the home, food, and wine.

Most of the things on her list were wine, so I smiled and said:

Me: “You can meet the head of the beverage department in the beverage section.”

She rolled her eyes.

Customer: “I know cashiers aren’t very smart, sweetie, but there’s a reason you’re on that side of the counter and I’m on this side of the counter. I need you to go retrieve these items for me.”
