Oh, Wow, I Literally Haven’t Seen You In Like, Ever!

I am working as a cashier at my local supermarket. We are swamped with people; I have at least seven people waiting in my line. One of my good friends from high school is in my line and I am talking to him as I am ringing up his stuff.

After he leaves, I welcome the next lady in line.

Me: “Hi. Did you find everything okay?”

At least that is what I try to say, but before I can get a word out:

Customer: “I want to speak to your manager.”

I call the manager over.

Manager: “How may I help?”

Customer: “Your cashier was having a conversation with a high school friend.”

Manager: “Did the conversation delay the checkout process?”

Customer: “That’s not what this is about! They should have included me in their conversation!”

I definitely let my manager handle that one! She didn’t even chime in or anything and I’ve never seen her in my life!
