When customers invade your personal space
Permalink   


This is kind of a silly rant, but i wanted to know if this happens to anyone else. 

Sometimes a customer will stand right by me as i'm bagging their groceries. I find it it silly and annoying at the same time. I could understand if they were helping me bag but  they aren't even monitoring my bagging, just looking straight ahead.  It doesn't make me nervous but i do like my personal space, especially when bagging. 

 

Does this ever happen to anyone else?

I've done markdowns in the deli and have had customers literally one step behind me the whole time trying to get stuff.

I don't like it when customers reach over and scan their Kroger card on my scanner.  Bugs me.

Your "personal space" extends out to much imo.

And the worst part? Management can and will DEFINATELY have a bitch fit if you ask a customer to back off; EVEN if they'r in YOUR peronal space. Ive been bitched at many times for saying something. And i STILL continue to say something if they are too close. I DO NOT care if i offend or not, its MY personalspace that you are in. You WILL stay out.

Ha ha, personal space, what's that? Kroger owns you, your body, your time, your mind, and the space immediately around your body. It's sort of like how countries own the airspace above them. And, since you are leased to the public in a kind of pimping-out program, what's yours is also the customer's. You should be grateful you're allowed to wear a uniform, and not have to be naked and in chains!

Y'all are absolutely killing me!! Naked and in chains? It's so true, but funny when someone else says exactly what you yourself are thinking.

 If I can do it quick enough, I secure the register and watch them swipe repeatedly to no avail. They'll eventually have to hand it over and I sign on and scan it, all while explaining that it's because they aren't supposed to reach around like that onto the checklane.

I feel so evil.

 That's not evil, that's awesome. I'm gonna try that.

I hate when people do that. Especially the ones that don't speak to you one word. Just treat you like a self-checkout machine made of flesh.

Naked and in chains only happens after the third write-up.
And then only in Texas and Florida.

Would totally let off a silent fart if I were a customer standing next to a bagger like the OP.

 I secure mine if they do anything to bother me and then go to put their number in on the pinpad because they'll never know I did it. (number one offense for me is not emptying a basket, just setting it on the belt and it's full of heavy stuff)
