I worked in retail many moons ago, and we weren't even allowed to announce the store was closing let alone tell a customer to find another line. JACKASSES!

That is standard retail procedure.

You have to put up a sign or whatever to stop the line from forming, and then you have to bloody well check out everyone who's already in the line! Not your fault that the other customer took forever!<BR/><BR/>Sorry, I'm a little incensed, here. Anyway, good job sticking up for yourself. And I bet that guy went home and told everyone about this amazing woman in front of him in line who stood up to the cashier at Old Navy.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942269316108576622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572319288218404423.post-53277091767119579282007-11-26T11:48:00.000-05:002007-11-26T11:48:00.000-05:00I'm with you and your other commenters in being a ...I'm with you and your other commenters in being a total wuss, too, but I think that would have been my breaking point.

Normally, a cashier who is closing puts up his/her closed sign or turns off her light while saying to the remaining people in line that she will take care of them first. I can't believe one tried to walk and leave you hanging! Good for you for calling her on it!emailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653316423608779303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572319288218404423.post-19305353802274311682007-11-26T11:19:00.000-05:002007-11-26T11:19:00.000-05:00Love it!
