I can totally understand why some clerks can be snippy. Fuck, have you ever worked in a service industry job? It sucks ass having to deal with the general public. Not saying that it's a golden ticket to be ignorant to the customers, but it got so bad that I switched out of the service industry, and I'll be damned if I ever go back to that again.

When you're a waitress, people assume that they can dump all their issues on you. Think I really cared that it was a rough day at the office? Here you are, driving your fancy SUV, Wearing your rolex and planning a nice vacation wheras I've been on my feet lugging around heavy trays of food for 5 bucks an hour. Oh, and I don't get a break until the restaraunt slows down. So that means around 6 hours or more without a chance to even sit and rest your feet/back.

So yeah, while people were moaning and complaining about that, I could have dumped their food onto their laps. Oh! And then when they don't like the food, they freak out on you. Yes! Because it was I who cooked your meal, not the chef in the back. lol

Of course, not all patrons are like that... but there were more of those than actual nice people. I couldn't stand it, so now I work in an industry where I don't have to deal with the general public at all. Huzzah.

Anyways, to make a long, drawn out point... might be good to remember that while you might be poilte when asking someone for something, it does not guarantee that the previous 50 people before you have. Might want to cut them a tad bit of slack. Also, for the record... I think it's incredibly petty that someone would think that saying "Have a nice day" isn't polite enough. Maybe they should tell you to go fuck yourself?

Then you'll have something to complain about!
