But now, they're starting to pop up everywhere. Personally, I cannot stand them. NO, it's not a big deal, but it is an annoying little deal. You have to pause, make eye contact, do your bullshit chit/chat, "Hi, how are you?", "Fine thanks", "can I help you find anything?", "no thanks, I'm all set", "great... have a nice day", "you too". Sure, you could ignore the person, but then you come across as a total asshole. I just want to simply walk into the store without being pestered. Am I wrong?

Fortunately, we don't have that bullshit here. Even at Wal Mart, the greeters mostly stand outside and smoke with the clerks who are on break. But if greeters ever started speaking to me, I'd shun them completely. Is there really any other option?

You're doing a transaction with the cashier. I have no problem with them doing the chit/chat thing. But some stranger hovering around the entrance like a Dateline child predator - they can fuck themselves.

I'm often tempted to give them a list of weird items and tell them I'm distraught that I couldn't find these items

Clerks are all peons. They are minions, just one small step above the lowest of the low: baggers. I will NOT discuss my purchases with you. Do NOT point out that because I have some red kidney beans, three pounds of hamburger and lots of tomatoes that I am making chili. OF COURSE I AM MAKING CHILI! It is not your business! Do NOT ask me if I've ever tried a certain product before and what I thought about it. Maybe I enjoy it but YOU will not. Now I have to feel responsible for giving you a product review and recommendation and then maybe you buy the thing and go home and fucking hate it and then you remember me the next time I come back and you get all snide or bring it up as a topic of further conversation. I don't fucking think so. Shut your trap, ring up my shit, take the cash, plaster a fake smile on your face and KEEP THE LINE MOVING. Scum.

I promise to give every new poster a resounding "GO FUCK YOURSELF" within their first 5 posts. See, that's where you and I differ, dmb. I can be mean to old people without a second thought. Take how I treat trixie for example, although that can also be considered cruelty to the mentally handicapped.
