Do you get (mildly) annoyed when a cashier asks, "Did you find everything you need"?
In recent years, there’s been a trend at stores, especially grocery markets. When a customer’s checking-out, with wallet open and ready to pay, and with car keys in hand and ready to leave, the cashier asks, “Did you find everything ok?,” or “Did you find what you’d wanted?”
This seems to be a pointless question. If I’d wanted help, I would have asked a store employee. Am I really going to say, before my exit, “No! I wanted pink kidney beans, but I didn’t see them and had to settle for red kidney beans. Let’s hold-up this entire line of busy people behind me and go searching!”
Of course I don’t get angry at the cashier. He/she’s simply following the employer’s instructions. But, the question seems so hackneyed and meaningless; it has all the veracity of “Have a nice day!” said by rote at 9:30 pm.
Am I the only person who’d prefer to get my change and a polite “thank you,” without this question?
