\"\"“Did you find everything ok?”<\/p>\n

\ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n

I hate that question.\u00a0 They ask it at most larger stores when you go to check out.\u00a0 And really, what am I supposed to say?\u00a0 I answered ‘no’ once and they tried to drag me out of line to help me find it.\u00a0 Umm, no.\u00a0 By the time I’ve reached the check-out I’ve given up trying to find it, or caring if I get it.\u00a0 I am now focused on leaving and going home.\u00a0 Ever since then I answer ‘yes’ so they’ll leave me alone.<\/p>\n

Today I was in a mood.\u00a0 I couldn’t find sugar-free lemon instant pudding mix.\u00a0 I’ve bought it before at other stores, but apparently it wasn’t at this store.\u00a0 The checker asked if I found everything ok.\u00a0 I told him what I couldn’t find, and that apparently they don’t even stock it… and I was very polite, btw… and he got this real uncomfortable look on his face and just said, “Well, I’m sorry to hear that, sir.”<\/p>\n

Ok, then why’d you bother to ask me?\u00a0 Are you going to notify management so they’ll order it for next time?\u00a0 Somehow I doubt it.<\/p>\n

Don’t you just hate when you’re drinking something, and it goes down the wrong pipe, and you end up coughing uncontrollably for minutes?\u00a0 But I digress.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I often wonder how many people actually answer, “No, I couldn’t find <whatever>.”, and then what the employee does with that complaint.\u00a0 I usually suspect the store is just play-acting at appearing concerned, but really doesn’t want to do anything about it.\u00a0 What do you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
