Supermarket checkouts are the worst for this. Aghhhhhh.

Do you need help with your packing, I've got bloody 3 items.
Thanks for shopping, come again blah blah blah.
Did you find everything you where looking for sir. WELL if I didn't I would bloody ask.

Or am I just over reacting.

My mum called them on this once. 'No,' she said 'I couldn't find spring onions or paprika.'

'Oh, sorry'. Was the response.

There's a time and place!! I wouldn't dare do that to random business people but clients I have been working for for some time I may send a little sketch which is daft... but the writing will always be formal!

Madness!

I'm good at fixing those problems

Oh and asking if you want help to pack for even 3 items is neccesary - mostly incase your being watched by management

I tend to find both questions quite polite and nice

Our out of store management are feckers when it comes to greeting and approaching customers.

Obviously when someone comes in you smile at them, or say good morning. Then maybe approach them and ask if they are ok/need any help when they are browsing.

But they aren't happy unless you are virtually bugging the customer

You're on Boat Drinks, reading the signature your signature could be like.

There is a chance you may want to buy some postage stamps. Or perhaps they want some cashback?

You never know
