I don't think I need that, no thank you then"
Like fuck she just keeps repeating the same mumble, she didn't get it the first time what makes her think repeating it the same way is going to work? I barely recognized what she's saying cuz I've gotten used to low effort mumbling and thick accents over the years plus I knew that's the only question they ask at that point in time... and not being from nineteen dickety two helps too... but extra insult to effort what am I now a salesman for Superstore explaining the card to this lady? Why isn't the cashier doing this? Buddygirl is just staring off into space while I explain their card to this lady.
Fuckin ridiculous levels of incompetency at almost every food related customer service position save for like medium to high tier dining.

my wife showed an old lady next to her how to use self scan and how to pay at the dollar store b/c no one was helping, while the young guy working there is just standing there. as she passed by him she jokingly said "hey i just did your job for you", he just laughed.
i think people just repeating things over is a natural trait in people. i know people where they say something and in the discussion it's obvious someone else doesn't understand or agree with what was said, and the person just says "AGAIN, <proceeds to repeat verbatim>". super annoying actually, as if repeating it will magically get the point across, magically make someone understand, or win a debate. It's the "AGAIN" and tone of it that grinds my gears.
