Tonight I broke out of my usual MO and stopped at what I'd consider to be the more upscale grocery store in town to pick up supplies for root beer floats.
Headed to the counter to pay for my 'Our Family' brand ice cream, and my 'Our Family' brand root beer. This is how the transaction went:
Clerk: How's it goin'?
Me: Good!
Clerk: (Looks down with a sneer at my root beer) Um, Barq's is the best root beer
Me: Yeah, Barq's has caffeine, though (makes me jittery)
Clerk: Pshhh (with eye roll)
Clerk: That'll be $6.14
Me: (Fumbling for my change, muttering to myself) Hmm...I can't find my change container
Clerk: Well, that's helpful (said in dry monotone voice)
I found my money, paid him $6.20, and waited for my .06 cents change. He didn't say a word. Just handed me my receipt and went on to the next person. I think he was in a hurry to get to the girl with the sunburned cleavage 3rd in line.
Me: Um, did you give me my change?
Clerk: Yeah (sounding a bit inconvenienced)
Umm...OK then. Maybe he did. Maybe I'm losing my mind. What's .06 cents anyway, right?
I walked out chuckling. Was that guy for real? Seriously.

Call the manager. Yes, that rude behavior is for real and will continue.
He really needs to get over himself.
I ditto Carla.
I would have been over to the Manager straight from the check-out line!
I really miss customer service.
Gosh, some people's attitudes are so horrible.
Oh my gosh! I third the recommendation to call the manager!
Yes, my next stop would have been Customer Service. Gotta love bratty sales clerks. Unfortunately this happens too often these days.
