Customer Etiquette

Maybe i'm just tired but it seems to me that more and more annoying customers are coming into the store lately. As a result I've decided to write out some pointers that you (you know who you are...) should think about next time you decide you need groceries.
#1. Always say hi to the cashier! don't just ignore them and walk past, remember that you're coming into THEIR store. There's nothing like saying hi to a customer and having them act like you're not there. Rude!
#2. Please don't leave your Starbucks cup on the shelf, find a trash can and dispose of it properly. That also goes for your Timmys cup, bag of McDonalds garbage, dirty moist kleenex, and your pocket lint.
#3. If you're shopping with your kids, keep them with you at all times (unless they're responsible adults). Who likes loose brats running rampage around the store? Its disturbing and creates a less-than-peaceful atmosphere for the other customers.
#4. When you take something off the shelf and decide you dont want it, where do you put it? If you said "on the floor" or "just give it to the saleslady" you've answered incorrectly. Go directly to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect $100. If, however, you answered "back on the shelf".....correct!! you just won first prize in a beauty contest! If we're spending all our time picking up after you it leaves no time to help you or other customers (and who likes bad customer service?).
#5. DON'T OPEN PACKAGES WITHOUT CASHIER ASSISTANCE!!! GAAAHH! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ONE ENOUGH!!!
ahem...
so ya, thats all for now folks. check back in a month and maybe i'll have blogged again.
peace
