Supermarket worker explains the customer 'jokes' all staff hate

An employee has shared some of the most 'annoying' things she hears customers say and one phrase in particular which supermarket staff hate in a video that has since been deleted from TikTok.

The woman posted a video in which she listed some of the things she hears "at least 10 times each shift" while working on the tills including the cringeworthy "joke" people always make whenever an item doesn't want to scan. She explained the first thing she hears every day is customers telling her they "only came in for one thing", despite having what seems like "the whole shop" in their trolley.

Next up was the classic joke: "Oh, it's not scanning? It must be free!" To which she wrote in text on the video: "Absolutely not."

Finally, the employee said she isn't fond of customers who say she "looks bored" and state they're going to "give her something to do" by choosing her till for their shopping. She said: "I was happy chilling and counting down the minutes until I finish."

But when someone suggested it was "time for a job change", she said: "I love my job."
