Flower pots and water went everywhere the other day. It was cleaned up quickly but it disturbs me how people get angry at the jaded checkout staff even though they have nothing to do with the management decisions. They just work there- it's a case of don't shoot the messenger. They have to deal with people's garbage all day and are expected to just have to take it.
A lady was mad about something at a supermarket the other day. She was hurling insults at all staff members and made a scene. Who knows what started it. The staff were civil and barely said anything, as if it was fairly common...
On her drawn out way out, she decided yelling wasn't enough. She decided to throw fresh flowers in water across the entry way. Not all of them on display but each one costs loads of money - at least to me.
It seemed kinda like she was partially throwing it at someone but if she had she would have got in big trouble, even arrested but since she did it this way nothing can be done.
It's not fair of people to blame the workers for this. The decisions are almost always made upstairs, hidden away. I get money is tight, but I'm pretty sure checkout staff are struggling just as much as we are financially. Not to mention, it's a crap place to work.
