Well i have to admit that I worked in a supermarket for a short period and experienced the worst manners, especially from old people. I worked damned hard there (and looked out back for people). I always stopped situations by suggesting I get the manager before they could ask, or suggesting that the supermarket down the road may have a better selection (can you tell my heart wasnt in it?)
