I went to Asda not long after lockdown had lifted the first time and said something standard to the lady on the checkout like "long day?" and she looked at me with hollow eyes and told me that when she'd told a woman they'd run out of toilet roll the customer spat in her face. Some people are the worst.
Sometimes you can tell the checkout asst is just fucking done having the same basic conversation 100x and wants to scan silently, but I always try and inject a bit of happiness into their day if they've not fallen mute. Working any public-facing retail job is bloody awful... speaking from personal experience, I used to temp at Toys R Us at christmas and let me tell you, there's no more entitled creature than a parent at christmas who has left it too late to get this years most popular toy.
BUT *MYYYYY * CHIIIIIILD
