We had some fairly crazy weather lately, with big waves coming in, which left erosion and… foam.

Well, I thought it was cool.

1.  When I say “Hi, how are you” it’s nice manners to say something back.  Just because I’m being paid doesn’t mean you’re not a rude poo-head if you pretend I don’t exist.

2.  The conveyer belt is controlled by a sensor.  It won’t stop until your stuff gets to the end.  So you are achieving ABSOLUTELY NOTHING by pulling your stuff back everytime it gets within a metre of the end.  And when it does stop, it’s only because of the timer, or because the checkout chick turned it off, not because you have actually beaten it.  I repeat, you have achieved NOTHING.

3.  Asking for everything in one bag, and then making me double bag it because you’re scared it will break is just as bad for the environment as using two bags to start with.

4.  When you put everything on the conveyer belt, LEAVE IT THERE.  It is completely unnecessary to rearrange everything CONSTANTLY.  Say it with me “YOU ARE ACHIEVING NOTHING”.

5.  Handing each item to me individually makes the entire process about three times as long.

6.  You are not the first person to say “Oh look, you’re waiting just for me!”.  No, it’s just really, really slow.
