Or perhaps you just look like a thieving gypsy.
As a super market worker constantly involved with customer service my input on your thread title is the following:
Customers suck dick.
I just noticed that your left hand looks like a penis, Latvian.well spoted, penisnose
Christo it's because you live in a Slavic nation like Hungary.

No seriously, they can be the biggest D-bags for absolutely no reason.
Take an example that just happened half hour ago, lol.

In their defense, they were probably giving you a hard time because you came in close to closing time.
Its the biggest dick move a customer can pull.
If you lived in America, he probably would have tasered you for resisting
there is a saying, opportunity makes a thief.Haha, why? If you have nothing to hide, why not fuck with them?
anyway, if a security guard checks you, then do not try to be funny (just try to be calm and polite) and for the love of god do not say something like "i have not steal anything.", this makes you even more suspicious.

I dunno about other countries but here those wannabe-detectives are actually not allowed to check your bags or your pockets if you deny it to them. You can simply say "Nope". They are however allowed to hold you - even by force - until the police arrives cuz they can check your stuff...Are you sure? In here, they're only allowed to detain you if they're SURE you took something; they have the same rights as anyone, pretty much. Suspicion isn't enough. Are you sure the law says that they're allowed to hold someone based on suspicion alone until the police comes?
Ofc it would be a waste of time to let it go down that way if you haven't done anything.
In Germany, supermarket workers are always very nice, because they have to. The cashiers have to ask every single customer:i have only see that at Kaufhof, never in real, REWE or Edeka shops.
"How was your shopping?" or "Was everything ok with your shopping?", if they don't, and the boss sees it, they get fired. At least it's like that in the biggest supermarket in my town, it isn't that harsh in the little shops.
...
...This is because germans are not used to smalltalk, so this is a bit confusing for some of them.
It's like when someone asks you (at least in Germany): "How are you?" Nobody expects to hear the thruth or something bad, everybody just expects you to say "Yes, I'm fine".
...
"Guten Morgen, "Grüß Gott", "Tach", "Jododooooooooooooolo", "Heyho", "Was geht?", "Jo", "Bye", "Tschüss", "Tschau"; don't need more. =)So what is this if not talking? Do you send this straight to their brains?
Oh and "Ja, nehm ne Tüte!", "Ne, hab keinen Cent!"
In chocolate chip cookie land, supermarket workers are always very nice, because they have to. The cashiers have to ask every single customer:
"How was your shopping?" or "Was everything ok with your shopping?", if they don't, and the boss sees it, they get cremated.

Of course like 99% of all customers just say "Yes" or "Yes, everything fine". One day, when my mother was really stressed from work and didn't find what she searched for (it was out of stock or they had rearranged some goods in the market) she answered something along:
"No nothing is fine, it's a shit day, and I didn't even find everything I needed in the market, because you always rearrange things every few weeks instead of let everything be in it's place!"
And the till girl was like "Wut the fuck, y u tell me that, it's not my fault?! "
Of course my mother wasn't really serious, and of course she knew if anyone in the market has no fault for things like that, then it's the till girls.
At home she told me that the facial expression of the till girl was priceless.
Fuck dis society, fuck da police, fuck dis system! :mrgreen:

Yes, i guess it's the same everywhere, it's a shit question imo when it's asked by someone who is just an acquaintance.
So Lars....how are you mate ? How's life ?

Really? everytime you go in a supermarkets the cashiers ask you if your shopping was ok and stuff like that?
In the supermarkets here the cashiers just say "good morning/afternoon/evening", put the stuff you want to buy on the barcode reader, give you a/some bag/s if you ask ( or they ask if u need some), tell you how much you have to pay, give you the receipt then they say "bye or bye thank you" and that's it.
So do they ask question like "how was your shopping" because it's a policy of the supermarket and the manager gets upset if they don't?
That's a weird policy imo, personally I expect the cashiers to do their job and be quick, it would annoy me if they ask useless questions like "how was your shopping".
However in restaurants here when you pay the bill they often ask you "was everything ok" and stuff like that, but they could avoid that, unless they want to offer a digestive like a shot of grappa/schnapps, or something like that :wink: .

Yeah, I know. It's only like that in Kaufland here, I considered REWE, Edeka and others "small", because at least here, they are small.
And yes, Germans are a bit weird. :D

I work at a Grocery Store (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publix). Being a shit lord like that would get you fired day 1. Though I only work there 1 day a week now that I'm working as an Engineer 40 hours a week.
Depends on the store, I guess. Walmart has a general policy of being shit lords here(most, though some in the upper neighborhoods are better at being nice) while our company is the exact opposite.
Naa, not wierd but efficient.
As i have said, i have seen this only for one specific chain.
Christo, tbh I've only also encountered nice/friendly supermarket workers. And was the actual supermarket worker (aka cashier) unfriendly to you or was it the guard?
tbh I could really get into it if you wrote your own blog Christo.
LOL yeah supermarket security? I steal pistachios by doing the self checkout and ringing them up as peanuts.
I would have told security that no, you cannot in fact search my back pack or person. You don't want my business? I'll bring my money somewhere else. Also at electronic stores that want to "look at your receipt", no you can't see my receipt, I'm walking out the door with the items I just paid for.
Most states in 'murica store employees won't physically detain you even if they suspect you're stealing. They might try to be intimidating/get in your way and tell you to come with them, but you most likely could laugh at them and keep walking to your car. It's false imprisonment if they get it wrong so they don't take the chance unless they are certain someone is stealing.
Fuck you, come here and open a ćevapčići shop.
Dude, stop putting all that shit on your letters :lol:
Being a shitlord? Why? People here (at least me) expect cashiers of a supermarket be fast: put your stuff on the barcode reader, tell you how much you have to pay and give you the receipt, that's all what they have to do. I think asking questions like "how was your shopping" would probably be perceived by customers as something annoying and a waste of time.
Sorry i didn't read all the posts.
Do you fella's have Walmart's Over there? Well here in Florida, Walmart is a shit lord for like 6 reasons.
1: 1 Cashier all the time(exaggeration, but the basically make you wait 20 minutes for shit)
2: They treat employees like they are nothing but shit and think that the execs are the real people
3: I'm Biased
4: They fuk up your food cause they don't give a damn (bagging it, handling it, etc etc)
5: Overcharge you and then say it's your fault most times.
6: Jews
Concerning My store, Publix has 1000+ grocery stores because of the exact reason that they take Customer service highly. It's actually their main selling point and there's a lot of people who will shop at Publix just because the competitor(in most cases Walmart now) doesn't do special orders, doesn't help people, makes people wait, etc etc. Americans are a fast moving country, so making someone wait 5 minutes longer is a pretty big deal(even though it's not a lot of time, it gives off an attitude of indifference)
So basically: Culture. I'm sure there's some stores in Germany that Operate similarly to Publix (read it in an Article, the store is trying to Copy Publix's style somewhat) and they've been soaring in the market.
Also, Walmart hate's publix so much, that in FLORIDA ONLY they have a deal in which they'll MATCH BOGO adds from publix. NO OTHER STATE DO THEY DO THAT. That's how BAD Customer NO service can do you.
What happens if you break stuff accidentially? Do you have to pay it?
Over here, you usually don't have to. I broke a few bottles and cans of milk and boxes of eggs already, never had to pay it.
No, we don't have Walmart here ( at least not in my city), also supermarket's employees don't put your stuff in bags, you put them yourself, we don't have grocery baggers.
Here it works like this: cashiers pass the items on the barcode reader, they make the goods slide to the end of the cash, generally the customers ( at least me) stay there and put their stuff in bags and then pay.
Nope. No break it you buy it Policy.
Well, the Publix method works well. We have had a large influx of immigrants from Europe and they love the store because we are "Nice, and do shit they doesn't happen in Europe."
It works, and Publix is a very wealthy, private corporation.(#3 I think on Forbes largest private Corps.) So while that method is the standard(there are registers that are like that, but the cashier puts it into bags). Like I said, this is really a Cultural thing on the baggers and service. Southerners were always known for being hospitable kind folk. You see it in the attitudes of a large amount of southern started businesses. Also, I'd never really want to buy shit from England's Markets from what most the immigrants have told me. Sounds like Walmart based experience and I hate that kinda attitude.
Zlisch pls stopCome on, we've lost you ingame, you hardly post on the forums, it's time you make a blog.
